Ceremony and other Wedding Traditions

The KISS! The KISS! The KISS!
(Funnily enough, we forgot to plan the "retreat" after the ceremony. We simply stated, "Everyone return where they came from in reverse order." So we did that. We all did that. Including the Bride and Groom. I remember turning around after it was over and starting to walk off with my parents. But something wasn't quite right. I looked up and said, "Aren't we supposed to walk off together?" And my mom, my dad, my sister, my friends, all stood there with BIG grins on their faces and said, "Umm hmm." So I turned around and yelled at Michael (who was halfway across the room) that we were supposed to be together. There's a great picture of this incident in the candid shots, captured by Dawn's mom, Harriet.)
