Party In Your (Jamie's) Stomach

Special request to add the following video. This is dedicated to you, Jamie.

Did anyone bring their camera to the wedding?

I am trying to compile a little special something for Greg and Michelle to document the wedding but due to excessive alcohol consumption, many of my shots are not usable. There is also a notable segment of time prior to the first dance during which I was unable to take any pictures. Did any of you bring a digital camera that night and fire off some decent pictures? If so, I would love it if you could burn the images to a disc and send them to me. Please comment in this post if you can and I will coordinate with you.

Reiko, I got a couple o' freaky pics of you and the playa! Jamie and Cheri--I have some cute shots of us together. Cheri--I have some bare ass pics on my camera! Was that you that commandeered my camera? Jamie--there are some cute ones (frame quality) of you and Brendon and your dancing machine son (who thinks I'm uber strange).

Thanks,
Kristy

Wenches, please arrive at the Backyard at the designated time per Head Wench, Kim. Given that Kim is Michelle's supervisor at work, her supervisory skills are no doubt more than adequate to manage the decoration activities.

4:00 Wedding party be ready and at Casa de Rickman (1264 Lonna Way) at or before this time! Come late and risk being excluded from the informal glamour shots. Men you are up first, then the ladies. And surely to be a highlight of the session, there will be shots of Michelle doing a shot of sake with mommy dearest.

This pre-function is tentatively scheduled to be self-serve but Wenches, it would be greatly appreciated if you could serve and/or assist guests.

6:00 Wedding Extravaganza at Backyard Rickman

6:30 - 7:00-ish: Formal glamour shots for the Wedding Party.
