CONGRATS SHANNON AND BOGI ON YOUR WEDDING!

Apparently, if you attend a service or wedding at St. Ambrose's Church, it must be followed up with donuts at Donuts Delite (http://www.SalvatoresDonutsDelite.com/).

PARTY!

Sorry

Sorry

Sorry

We tried...

Bogi: "Look at what Mike can do with his face!"  

Years of practice, my friend

Bogi, from now on, Dick will be asking to drink wine out of you crunk cup...

Closing out summer at Marge's (http://margeslakesideinn.com/) in Irondequoit.  

Jumbo Shrimp (http://www.jumboshrimpmusic.com/) putting on one hell of a show

Next stop, the Manistee National Forest for Rose and Mike's wedding!  It will be a great time and hope you see you in Muskegon!

HAVE A GREAT LABOR DAY!

So a Priest Walks Into Bellhurst Castle...

Bellhurst Castle (http://www.belhurst.com/) on Seneca Lake.  Father Jack had his 50th anniversary of being ordained as a priest.  


For those who don't know Father Jack, he's the priest that married Megan and I.  Here we are dancing at our reception.  It was a great 50th anniversary celebration and we were honored to be invited.


A view of Seneca Lake


Mr. Fussy looks like a teacher I had in high school...


Athena seems to be waiting for 5 o'clock to roll around...


I can't wait for her to try to make this happen when she's 70-80 lbs.



I call this "Still Life of a Future Blog Post."  

That's all I have this week. 

"I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury." -- Groucho Marx

What are Megan and Pete so excited about?  Mike and Amanda are married!


A view south from Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School.  


Pretty nice place


Jerrett and Sarah having a heart-to-heart


The happy couple!


Looking good...




Now, for some important national news:  This serves a few purposes: 1) To remind the American republic that there is a Presidential debate coming up 2) for my birthday you can get me Barack Obama and Mitt Romney toy pillows from the claw machine at the Topps in Panorama Plaza and 3) Topps isn't the best for groceries, but it makes up for it in entertainment.


Stella.  You are so good!  I think it has something to do with the water bottle

 
ROCKY!  I think he's the fastest eater I've ever seen.


How am I suppose to get any work done with this going on?

The Detroit Tigers are in the post season.  So, that should keep me occupied through October (if all goes well).  I'm hungry.  So, goodbye...     

"Hunter?!? This Is A Party; Not A Safari!!!"

Erin and Megan at the Rochester wedding party.

My co-worker's daughter is heading off to college tomorrow, which may mean my cupcake intake will drop dramatically over the next few months.  I'll be a wreck because I'll be sad and also have low sugar...


After a graduation party at Bernardo's Pizza in Victor, NY.  Someone better have the Ghostbusters on speed dial.


Emmy Lou REALLY needs a home.  It takes her a little bit to get use to you, but she'll be your best friend after that.  It's been a while since she's been on my desk.  I wonder why?

Oh, it's because Rufio took Emmy Lou's corner...


YEAH!  Lollypop Farm Picnic!  Perfect day to be outside having lunch!
That's it for now.  Will be out of town at another wedding this weekend.  So on and so on...

WE'RE MARRIED: PARTY-TWO

LAST BUT NOT LEAST!  The final batch of wedding photos.  Thanks again to James Schuck for the pics.  Thanks again to everyone for making it such a wonderful day.  If you want any of these pics, please let me know and I'll send you the originals.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!



Just an average day in the life of Ronan Carroll



I'm "shooting dice," Roddy is wobbly, and Ronan plays guitar in the band!  "IT'S RAININ' MEN, ALLELUIA!  IT'S RAININ' MEN, AMEN!!!!"












The party was so awesome that these glasses were dead after the party.  I found out about this in Portugal and they are buried in the beautiful beach sand of the Atlantic Ocean.  RIP USA Olympic sunglass I found on the CTA...



Sarah looks scared.  Maybe she thinks I'm the bad guy from "The Matrix"



THE SKYCOASTERS!  http://www.skycoasters.com/ Again, a completely awesome band and I highly, highly suggest checking out their promo video on their website.  It sold me!






Who needs a wedding cake when you have an ice cream buffet?






























Mary is making moves never seen before on the dance floor by our friends and family



Katie being nice to me because I just got married and she has to



Never left the dance floor...






Megan coming to make sure I'm not harassing to many people while dancing



I have to steal this guy's moves.






Erin is confusing my family.  "I don't recognize her, but she dances like a Kraus..."



OLE!



Ronan bullfighting Marisa on the dance floor



Richard Bell Sr. 






Practicing for her own wedding in the spring



Drew needs no practice for his wedding.  He's a pro!












Mike: Oh, boy, oh boy, oh boy. I feel so good I could spit in Potter's eye. I think I will. What did you say, huh? Oh, maybe I'd better go home.Where's my hat? Where's my... [Megan takes the hat from Uncle Mike's head and hands it to him] Oh, thank you, Megan. Which one is mine?
Megan: The middle one.
Mike: Oh, thank you, Megan, old boy, old boy. Now, look –– if you'll point me in the right direction... would you do that? Megan?
Megan: Right down here.
Mike: Old Building and Loan pal, huh...
Megan: Now you just turn this way and go right straight down.
Mike: That way, huh? [begins singing, then a crash is heard] I'm all right. I'm all right. [singing] "...the sweetest flower that grows . . . "



Old Building and Loan pal...






Little known fact, I am the best singer you've ever heard.  True and Tachel (Rachel) doesn't have to ask her Aunt Megan if it's "really true."






Look at all that hair



Brides should not punch their bridesmaids...









YEAH!!!






I should have worn this instead of a tux...












Dancing with Grandma Kraus



Aunt Maureen.  Believe it or not, we're not Italian...


















Noah Hopson in a practice run for his Awesome wedding in Michigan



Glamour shot!



Phil playing coy















In hindsight, they should have been our dancing stunt doubles...









Eric: "I didn't know your husband played in a terrible punk rock band.  How bad was he?"  
Megan: "The worst: songwriting skils of Sesame Street, guitar play of a fingerless man, and the angelic singing abilities of Sid Vicious."


 



























LIMBO!!!!!!






















































DOUBLE LIMBO!  IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!  WHAT DOES IT MEAN!  DOUBLE LIMBO!!!


The party's over.  You don't have to go home, but you can stay on the blog.  Thanks again to everyone.  We hope the wedding was as much fun for you as it was for us.  THANKS!


Megan and Mike
