The wedding went really well. Elanna was beautiful. Almost everything went as planned. None of the people we hired (caterer, photographer, florist, site) failed to do thier job, though somehow a few of them "forgot" a few things they were supposed to charge us for and wanted more money. The Minister ended up calling us "Mr and Mrs Roger Moore" at the end of the ceremony, so everyone was calling me "James Bond" after that. The only other thing was the music guy screwed up and played the first song from the reception CD instead of the traditional recessional song. The song that was played was "Laid" by James, which while an extremly cool song, isn't really appropriate for a recessional. I think most people weren't paying attention to the lyrics, a few of our friends complimented us on such an edgy choice, most people assumed that it was the wrong song. ("There's no way that was the song you wanted played right then.")
We spent a lot of time beforehand preparing a slideshow of pictures of the two of us to show at the reception. We rented a projecter from the site and the plan was to use my laptop to show the pictures. The projector turned out to be ancient however, with no vga input that could be used to connect a laptop. Luckily my laptop is new enough that it has an S-Video output, which thankfully would work with the projector. Elanna's brother made a quick trip to Best Buy and got an S-Video cable and JW got it all set up for us.
In case you missed it, or weren't at the wedding, Here is the wedding slideshow.
The photographer has the proofs from the wedding up on her website. I'm not sure if I can link to it externally. I so I'll post those links tomorrow.
