Sallie & Marc's Wedding

Sallie, one of my co-workers, kindly invited Cheryl, Beth, & I, to her wedding. This was held in a posh hotel in St Louis (The Sheraton) & was arranged pretty quickly so that Sallie & Marc could get married before Marc deployed to Iraq.

The ceremony was a bit different to those that we have been to in the UK, with the bridal party & groomsmen making their way to the front area where the ceremony was taking place before turning around to face the Sallie as she walked up the aisle with her father. The ceremony only lasted about half an hour with no hymns & was followed with cocktails on the top floor of the hotel in an open-air balcony that overlooked The City. We then had a really nice meal, but before this (practically as soon as Sallie & Marc entered the reception) they cut their weeding cake which was then served for desert. The rest of the evening was the traditional DJ & dancing. We had a really great time & wish Sallie & Marc our best for their future together.
