Hail to the bride and groom!

The most exciting wedding of the year!

Ok, so I promised to get to this and tonight I unveil the most exciting wedding of the year!!! No one would have guessed when they arrived for the wedding of Erin and Sam that they were about to get soaked by a freakish hail storm on August 18th! The wedding started out under comfortable mountain breezes and sun. Then as the guests arrived the day got darker and darker and darker. I was standing outside waiting for the bride to emerge and walk up the hill to where over 125 guests had arrived and were seated for the wedding. Then it happened. The sky opened up and delivered a pelting of hail like I've rarely seen in August. See for yourself below.

Everyone evacuated the open field and took refuge inside the Woodlands reception facility. Folks were drying off a bit, mops appeared and no one seemed to be any worse for the wear. I think any other group of people might have had their spirits dampened, but not the O'Tooles or the Ortega's. It was a passionate and happy occassion. And as the night progressed, everyone agreed it was "A DAY TO REMEMBER!"

I raise my glass to my friends Erin and Sam, all their family and friends. The most exciting wedding of the year!!!
