well people....it happened...the day of holy matrimony happened...and for them, it couldnt have gotten here soon enough....thats right, the wedding of Jeremy and Kari (jer bear and kar bear as i like to call them)....and it was magnifico....i had planned to do some sort of ring trick to begin with, i let some of the guys know what they thought, they loved it...but warren had an idea to do a little twist on it....if you were there, you saw, if not, here's the story...unfortunately i have no reaction pics...
moments before we entered the sanctuary to escort the beauty's (bridesmaids) on stage, the plan was put into motion..plan was put the ring in his coat pocket....but how? feel him up? while tempting, mark tate wasn't around to handle it for us, so we had to go a different route (just a joke mark...just a joke buddy)...so we have to commandeer the sucker....well..only way to do that would be to convince him he needed to take it off....and that wasnt hard...as nervous as he was, he could've used having it off for a while...so we, stan warren and i, convince jeremy he needs to use the bathroom prior to us going in, (which is a smart idea anyway kids)...catch is, we told him to let us have his jacket so he wouldn't pee on it, bcuz i had told him i had....now i can't go into my bathroom experience, but it would've been easier had i in fact taken my jacket off...but i didnt and thats beside the point...so he takes it off, gives it to us, and goes....i slip the ring in his coat pocket, and we're good to go....he comes back, we go in..it's all good.....well first off i didnt know when they would ask for the ring, so i prolly woulda dropped it anyways...but now that he had it i didnt have to worry...so the time comes, pastor asks me for the ring, and jeremy doesnt turn around at all..just sticks his hand back...well i reach in my pocket, then begin to feel around everywhere i would think it might be in my suit..doing probably the worst acting job ever, but apparently i sold it...so the groomsmen go down the line each feeling around their coats and whatnot looking for it....jeremy stays glued to kari, probably knowing something's wrong...kari's eyes get big, and im pretty sure i saw some sort of death look, (AKA "The Look" every woman has in her arsenal)..she looks at her mom, then back at us, then at him..stunned...well stan finally says "jeremy look in your jacket pocket"...he fumbles around in it, while my heart beats about 1000 times per minute hoping that pocket doesnt have a hole in it....he eventually found it, and we're all good...everything else went off w/o a hitch....
my speech went down, forgot some stuff to say that i'd like to make public (or to all 4 of you that read this): "Thanks mom for letting me hang out with Jeremy."
reception was fun, i filmed and took pics for em...got home about 10pm old time...time change hit me and i ended up not making it to church the next morning...met the newlyweds for lunch..and thats a whole different blog!!
until next time
