Big weekend for my family |
Lead | |
|
My first child to get married did so in New Orleans on Saturday. My daughter Heather, who some of you know, is now Mrs. John Warren Doyle III. I'm not an
expert on weddings, but I think this one was outstanding, and it went off without a hitch. Rehearsal dinner for 250 at Antoine's, ceremony at the St.
Charles Presbyterian Church, reception for 500 at the New Orleans Country Club. It was all first class. I include a photo of the handsome couple. My sister
did the wedding cake, and it was absolutely a work of art. Here's a photo. Those flowers were hand made by my sister out of colored sugar. I was a bit
sad to see Heather married, but also happy, because Warren is an outstanding young man, has an advanced degree from Vanderbilt, and has a great family. They
were lucky to find each other. Many people are never so lucky.

Congrats Mirco. Glad to see your daughter, who is a very pretty young lady, got her looks for momma!
P.S. That is a very nice cake. Good job by sis there.

There's extra "proudness" when a daughter gets married and especially when the guy is special too. Both of my daughters are married with great
husbands that are fine sons-in-law. I have three grand-sons, all have my first name as their middle names. Like George Foreman says, just call one and they all
answer.

2 Acres, one of the biggest worries of a parent is that their kid will marry a dipshit. (some, like Tejas, Easy, Jumbo, and Booley, might say that my
ex-wife's parents' worst fears were realized) Anyway, Warren is a great kid from an outstanding family, and he just dotes on Heather, and vice-versa.
Expensive? No kidding. Try renting the most expensive restaurant in New Orleans on a Friday night, and the whole New Orleans Country Club on a Saturday night for size when you're talking expense. Therefore, I will be serving actual road kill at tailgates this Fall, and it'll be cheap road kill (but tenderized by Goodyear). I need to get out on the roads and start filling up that freezer. |

"one of the biggest worries of a parent is that their kid will marry a dipshit" Very true.
Still, in the case, that appears not to be a concern for either family. Congrats and good luck to all. |

Congratulations, micro. I'll echo other's sentiments--she is a beautiful bride, and looks appropriately happy.
Surprised that this has not been brought up, but you obviously raised your daughter correctly. She knew not to get married during football season. |

Good point, Mad. I could have lived with a wedding during the season had it been on a road game weekend. I've heard some horror stories about guys whose
wives made their husbands miss games to go to the weddings of people they barely knew. That's just not right. I've NEVER been that pussy-whipped.

Congrats David!! Nice looking couple and a beautiful cake! Who knew that you could make something so pretty? Like Tman said..she got her momma's looks.
Seriously though, I HOPE my two girls are so fortunate when they reach that period in their lives.

Congrats to your family.
You certainly are one of the people who deserve an outcome like this. BTW, you said "2 Acres, one of the biggest worries of a parent is that their kid will marry a dipshit. (some, like Tejas, Easy, Jumbo, and Booley" I understand why you didn't include 'waco in that group, since he is gay. |

Can't believe such a beautiful woman is related to a such a dipshit. Tell them the truth...the wedding reception was held at Antonio's Mexican
Resturant off Canal Street...way off. Guest got an enchilada plate with a cup of ice tea.
