Were you at "the wedding"? If so, stories and pics, please.

Yes indeed. I'm working on pics. ;) We had an INCREDIBLE time the whole
trip!! The wedding was amazing. Just truly beautiful. If any of y'all
ever get invited to an Indian wedding --- GO!! Truly a beautiful ceremony
and what an amazing party!!! Three days basically of party. ;) The
ceremony was so beautiful, I will admit I cried a little.

The week in downtown Toronto was awesome too. Although, I will admit to all
y'all that Himself did NOT stop the rental car when we passed a fabric
store with a 99 cent sale sign out front. Rotten stinkhead. Then had the
nerve to tell me that I wouldn't be able to fit it all in my suitcase
anyway so why bother?? UPS and Fed Ex both work in Canada too. Mean old
man. LOL

Each of us got to pick one thing to do. DS picked taking the ferry out to
Center Island and going to the amusement park. That was great fun.
Although that amusement park is really a little too young for my kids now.
But we all did have a marvelous time. DD picked the Toronto Zoo. No
surprise there. ;) We had a great time there as well. Petted stingrays.
That was way cool. The little ones feel almost slimy. The bigger ones
feel gritty like they have sand on themselves. And the coolest is to feel
one curl up its "wing" as it goes past. Really wild. I picked the Royal
Ontario Museum. Amazing place!!!!!! (and yes, I have pictures I took
especially to share with y'all in the Costumes and Textiles exhibit. heh
heh)

DH picked Cirque du Soleil!!!!!!!!!! Just so happened when we were making
our travel plans in April, that he found out one of the traveling shows
would be at the Air Canada Center while we were there. We've had the
tickets ever since, and Did Not Tell the children till we were in our seats
before the show started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL Wicked fun!!! They both
looked like a Bugs Bunny cartoon -- Lots of WHOOPING and eyes bugged half
out of their heads. ;) The show was AMAZING!!!!! If you ever get to see
any of the shows, go. It's not much more expensive than a concert. Just
go. I will tell you, I used to think I was pretty bendy till I saw those
folks. Whoo my!!

And today is the first day of school. ;) Bet all their buddies are getting
an ear full. I'm really hoping that one of the teachers still does
that "what I did on my summer vacation" writing assignment. ;)

I will work on getting the pictures up online this week and putting captions
in, etc. Then I will post more when the official pictures come. My DF
that got married said she will send me a CD of all the wedding
pictures...and to expect there to be around 1000 pictures on there. ;)
The photographer was wonderful. They actually had two guys there taking
the pictures. Both are Italian and obviously LOVE weddings. ;) One of
the two gentlemen took something of a shine to me. He brought his camera
over to me a couple times to show me different pictures he'd taken. They
were all just fabulous. He was so adorable. I wanted to hug him before
the day was done just because he was so sweet.

The groom's family is probably the most loving bunch of people I've ever
met. They all threw open their arms and hugged me, Mike, and the kids.
They all told us that we were family now too because they understood that's
how my friend thinks of us all. Just wonderful people. It was the most
sincere welcome I've ever received from people I'd just met. Can't wait
till the next time I get to visit with any of them. (and we have been
invited to come visit several of the family members (all over the world)
any time we'd like to.)

Pictures soonest I promise!!
