Dan gave a great ceremony, short and to the point in the 90 degree church. During the rehearsal he was funny and very personable. He was one of the most charismatic people I have ever met who also believed in god. Dan also had a very nice camera with tripod that he used to tape the ceremony, wireless headset etc etc. He was connected. He was the perfect choice for the ceremony. If Robyn and I ever officially tie the knot I may track him down and fly him out to CT to perform the ceremony.
There is a LOT more to tell. Karaoke nights, they all went out partying a few nights, I hung out with Rich Cianci and Sean's parents for a while. It was really a good time. The Best Man Tommy and the Bride's Maid Katie both had incredible speeches for the toast. (Katie forgot to bring a glass but Angie's Husband was looking out for her) The depth of emotion at the reception was really quite moving and I was happy to see Sean and Kelly make it official and even more pleased with how happy and sincere they both were. I was honored to be invited and to be there.
After the festivities Travis and I drove back to CT at 45 mpg with his Prius. On the way back we stopped at Niagra's. Here's some pictures.

Thank you Shawn for posting about the wedding. I was so happy you were able to come and be a part of everything. I know how much Sean values your friendship and how happy he was you were there. I look forward to getting to know you better.
Not the best angle on my face! :)
What a wonderful Blog! Kelly and Sean's wedding was indeed beautiful and you truly captured the magic with your words and Photography Skills...especially that picture of Tommy...that was right on!
Sean is so blessed to have such wonderful friends, You and Travis, who drove through hundreds of miles of stormy weather and rough terrain tackling Lions and Tigers and...ah...what's the other one?? Oh yes, Bears!!!, OH MY!!!
And as I was saying...You did all of this to be there, with Sean and Kelly, and witness their special day. Sean couldn't ask for better, or more caring and supportive friends.
I know this because I'm his sister and most sisters don't know everything...But I do!! Ha, Ha... a matter of fact...I now know the square root of 0. Yes, it's...ah, well, I'll tell ya another time...don't want to spoil the suspense
