Ken's best friend got married this weekend. They had a beautiful backyard wedding and then a reception at a nearby, old-school Italian restaurant. The backyard ceremony was beautiful.
A couple of dozen guests, a native ceremony, and a gorgeous cake made by the bride. How great is this? I didn't know what to expect from a native ceremony but it was beautiful and I see why they chose it.
Strongheart Turtle officiated, starting the ceremony by stating "his G.S.T. name." I guffawed under my breath, that was so funny. Unfortunately the rest of the guests didn't get it or didn't think it was appropriate to laugh so I had to suppress it.
I was only misty-eyed for the first 10 seconds, when I saw Maya coming up to the back door of the house. But then I turned around and saw Erik when he saw Maya coming into the backyard, led by her father. Erik was completely overcome and started crying as soon as he saw Maya. I still get teary when I think of it.
Ken was the best man and did a great job. He and Mark, the other best man, also gave a nice joint speech at the restaurant. Here they're doing their fun photo poses. All in all, a beautiful day, especially since the sun was shining all day, unexpectedly!
