The Wedding

We went to the wedding leaving here and going a rural route to avoid the maximum traffic and it was still horrendous! We did arrive in plenty of time and all was well in that regard. I took my camera and as we walked up to the beautiful facility we saw a sign that said no phones, no cameras, and no recording devices so I left my camera and phone in the car. I know that is a big disappointment to many of you as it is to me but every now and then I do obey the rules. My plan B was and is to glean what I can from Facebook when I spot one that I can snip. I have looked but so far the source is dry.

It was a beautiful outdoor wedding under a canopy of several live oak trees. Clear blue sky above and moderately warm temperatures. It took place in the small town of Helotes (hee-low-tees) Texas at the Casa Lejana. http://hstrial-glenvernon.homestead.com/index.html
The groom, Mike Morlan, prepared the meal himself and the food was delicious. Fittingly it was all the makings to put together your own taco. There were snacks in addition to the real food and I saw one youngster pile his snack bowl high with gummy worms!
Lincoln Morlan, the groom's oldest son, aged 2 had a blast! He ran, he danced, he threw rocks and he had the best fun a two-year-old can possibly have. His little brother, Carson, aged 1, just happily smiled at everybody. They were both appropriately dressed in wedding clothes that matched the wedding party.
The bride, Valerie was gorgeous in her beautiful dress and I wish I could show you what it looked like. Maybe soon. It was similar to this one.

We left the wedding party at about 8:30 and the ride home was one we rarely have to deal with in our elderly lifestyle. It was dark, we didn't know the route, heavy traffic, and way out of our comfort zone. We did make it home without incident. 

We are now thinking we will leave perhaps on Wednesday but I am gently pushing for next Sunday to lessen the stress of getting through San Antonio.  Butch will be making the final decision on that one as he is the driver and a very good one at that.
