This weekend was a blast! We got in to Cincy really late on Thursday night, slept for a bit and then spent the next morning with Kim’s family. Soon enough it was time to start one of our busy days. I dropped Kim off to get her nails done and then killed some time. I bought tickets for the Marc Broussard show next Friday, which we’ll be at. I then went to the mall and picked up Emma’s baptism gift. I still had extra time after that so I spent an hour on UC’s campus checking out all of the new stuff they’ve built. I took some pictures, so I’ll have to get those up soon. I then picked Kim up and we headed out to my parent’s place. We visited for a bit and then got ready for the rehearsal. The time at the church went by really fast and then we headed down to the river for the rehearsal dinner. We had dinner and drinks on a three hour tour on a Celebrations Riverboat. It was a great night with awesome views of the city. Again I took some awesome pictures that I’ll post tonight or tomorrow hopefully.
The next morning I dropped Kim off to get her hair done and then headed back to my parent’s to relax for awhile. That was interrupted when I was alerted that Kim forgot her shoes, so I drove back down to where she was and gave them to her. After that I was running behind so I had to shower and get ready really fast. I made it to the church ten minutes before the ceremony started, but others were still arriving so it was ok. The wedding was nice and short. Afterward it was off to the Glendale Lyceum for the reception. This ended up being one of my favorite receptions to date, mostly because they had a live band instead of the standard DJ. The bands name is The Mistics and they were awesome!
Sunday was Emma’s baptism. The ceremony itself was much longer than I remembered or thought it would be, but maybe that’s because I haven’t been to one of these in a long time. There were two other babies being baptized at the same time so maybe that had something to do with it. My only job while there was to light the baptismal candle, which I did successfully. So far so good. :) From there we went over to my Uncle Andy’s house for the after party. It was nice seeing everyone again even though we had to leave just a short time after we got there. I think almost everyone that was there will be at Pig-Fest this coming weekend though…
