Without Wax

This whole, posting things months after they happen seems to be a trend here. Gene and Colleen's wedding was the next day [Saturday] after I had dinner with President Bush. I was going to post this soon, but with the POTUS one, the Stellan update, and the Election guideline post, I didn't want my [very few] readers to start expecting posts all the time!

I guess I should give you a little background on who Gene and Colleen are...Gene is the older brother of Hannah [one of my friends I met here at SLU]. He was also the president of Students for Life when I was a freshman. Colleen was the vice president of Students for Life that same year and Caitlin, Hannah and I [along with a bunch of other people] stayed at her house last year when we were in Washington, D.C. for the March for Life.

So anyways, on October 4th, I attended my first non family, Catholic wedding ever. I'm pretty sure it was the first Catholic wedding that I've been to that was mass as well.

I absolutely loved the colors that she had, and the church was beautiful!

After the wedding, Caitlin and I stayed and took pictures of the families/wedding parties [Caitlin was also taking pictures like it was her job during the wedding!] Then after that was done, we took them to the one hour photo at Walgreens and put them in a picture album so that they could see pictures of their wedding right away. We had a few bumps in the road, but managed to get to the reception and seated before the wedding party was annouced and came in!

The reception was a little different than recepctions that I'm used to! I had a blast though! Congrats Gene and Colleen!
