St. Louis Wedding of Becky and Mike

Hello All,

This past weekend we traveled to St. Louis for the wedding of our niece Becky. She and Mike were married in a "story book" ceremony with a reception to follow at a very nice hotel.

Becky and Mike met six years ago while attending Purdue University. After college he asked her to get married, gave her an outstanding ring, and they moved to his home town of St. Louis.

The wedding weekend started with the rehearsal at the church. We also got to meet our niece, Sarah's boyfriend Kyle for the first time. (Sarah we really like Kyle!)

The church has very large clear glass windows with a perfect view of all of the trees around the building giving you the feeling of a chapel in the woods. After the practice we all went to a fantastic Italian Restaurant for a dinner that was to die for. Big thanks to Mike's Mom and Dad for that.

Saturday started out with breakfast at the hotel with our Nephew, Joseph and his significant other, Kim(who we love) and then to the wedding at 2:00 PM.

My Parents-In-Law could not attend the wedding so at the beginning I dialed them up on the cell phone and they got to listen to the whole thing first hand.

Becky wore a long white gown that was encrusted with many crystals and had a very long trane. You can see in the pictures how wonderful she looked. Mike and the guys were in black tuxedos with white vests and long dark ties. The girls were in a blue short dresses and all carried flowers of autumn colors.

I must say that Becky and Mike made a beautiful couple in their wedding regalia as you can see from the photos.

The reception was at the Crown Plaza Hotel in St. Louis in the Grand Ballroom. Mary Ellen, the Bride's mom and Sarah, the Brides sister folded one-thousand origami cranes for good luck and they were every where on tables, door frames and even in the rest rooms on the backs of the fixtures. "Kudos" to Mark and Mary Ellen for putting on one of the best receptions I have ever been to. This was a wonderful way for the couple to start out their lives together.

Sarah you are next!!!!!

Good Luck and God Bless......Uncle Rev. BB
