Wedding Proper

The wedding itself took place in Valerie's family church, in Homewood IL. It was a fairly small wedding, but that's suited everybody involved... As previously noted, I got to light some candles during the event, and still get some good shots of the actual event. Afterwards, I got a bunch of shots of people going through the receiving line, because it's just the kind of thing that I do.

Preparing the Fire
We had to light the candles before everything began...
Firebearer
Coming in! Yeah, I always look at the camera.
Lighting the Candles
It was a trickier device to use than it looked...
Wedding Proper
Not a bad shot for the middle of the event!
Wedding Proper, II
That's a good smile on Val's face.
Escorting Out
Valerie and Matas head back out of the chapel.
Greeting Line
I don't remember anymore whether or not I just cheated...
The Couple
It's very difficult to get a shot of the two of them without at least one blinking, looking away, or whatever.
The Funks
On the other hand, getting these three to do the same thing is comparitively simple.
Laura Walker
She came late, but she did come, and it was good to see her for the first time in a while.
Matas and Best Man
I need to get a hold of that program!
Valerie
While she normally has a big smile like that, this was far bigger than usual.
Ring Bearer
Awwwww....
Flower Girl
She couldn't make it through the wedding, so her mother had to actually do the flower stuff; but she was all up for having her picture taken!
Stephan and Angie
Fairly recently married themselves, these two were the ushers.
Getting Ready to Sign
I always try to get some shots of the actual document signing too...
The Couple, Again
At least Valerie's only in half-blink this time!
The Couple plus Maid-of-Honor
Her name is Mary, I remember that. And she's only blinking in one eye!
My Section of the Wedding Party
Toly, Sarah, and Sean, for those not keeping track.
Playing with the Flower Girl
Yes, that sleeve is in fact transparent.
Couple and Flower Girl
As I said, she was all about the pictures.
Couple and Flower Girl, II
Quite a ham, that little one.
Valerie's Family
The true master stroke of the wedding was getting her parents to agree to stay out of their marriage!
Groom's Side
Matas, Justas, Keith, Sean, and Toly
Groom's Side, Looking Sideways
That title just amuses me.
Bride's Side
Karen, Mary, Valerie, Sarah, and Emily
Both Sides
That's the party! Oh, and a head.
Both Sides, II
No more intervening head this time.
Both Sides, III
And this time there's actually some light! Not bad.
Kissing Time!
Any discussion of posing with a kiss is doomed to make Valerie burst out in laughter.
Wedding Kiss
I like the cheering.
Insane Groomsman
HE'S LOST HIS MIND! AAAHH!
Anand
Another member of our fine group.
Bwang and Anand
Once one of us sees a camera, we all come running.
Bwang, Anand, and Eva
Well, at least when nothing else is going on.
Eva
I don't even know what her pose is supposed to be. Oh well.
Jenny, Anand, and Eva
Best college friends sometimes stay friends forever. Isn't it nice?
Keiko
An old friend of Valerie's. I think they met in Japan.
Tim and Jenny
I wish I could see Jenny more often... though it's going to drop down quite a bit from our already infrequent schedule when she moves to South Africa.
Eva Again
We all look pretty good when we're dressed up.
