MrsDarwin here, just now surfacing to say that the wedding was the most beautiful I've ever attended, bar none. The day was a superlative. Even nature cooperated -- there was 70% chance of showers, but instead the day was overcast and the light diffused, making for some marvelous pictures in the park. My sister was the most radiant, lovely bride, and the wedding mass itself went without a hitch. Many thanks go to the celebrant, Fr. Schnippel, who recognized us as The Darwins even though we were in our street clothes.
And the reception was about the most kickin' event ever. Good food, good company, old friends, and several special live performances made this the best reception in the history of receptions. The bar has been set high for any other wedding I attend from now on, because I'll be thinking, "How does this compare to the Egan/Wolf wedding of '09?"
As the groomsmen were all standing around the parking lot of the reception hall, waiting for the ladies to arrive for pictures, they were talking about needing an omen for the day. At that point, one of them looks up and says, "Look, a hawk with a snake!" Sure enough, there was a hawk circling above them with a snake in its beak. Anyone want to read the entrails and interpret for us?

Did someone leave a giant wooden animal outside the reception hall? Cause if so my advice would be to get out of dodge.

Here's a good example of how a classical education might come in handy.
My interpretation:
"Good birdie."
It was beautiful indeed...I only wish I would have been able to get to bed before 3 AM...hehe...
It resembles the symbol on the Mexican flag--portent of a honeymoon in Acapulco, perhaps?
Blessings and best wishes.
Glad everything went great, I knew it would because they Chillicothe is beautiful this time of year. I trust you have pics of Darwin wearing a lampshade on his head.
