Congrats!!

This is Nicolas and his lovely bride Renante. They got married here on the 8th of April. Nicolas is our right hand man, chauffer, you name it he does it guy!

Along with Janine & three other young ladies we had here for a week, we prepared all the food for the reception, decorated both the classroom for the reception and the rooftop for the ceremony. Janine & I went dress shopping with Renante for her wedding dress, helped her get dressed on the big day and then were the photographers for the wedding. Everything didn't go quite as we expected, with some unexpected guests at the reception - ANTS! When we came down from the ceremony (thankfully we were the first ones in the room) the trays of cookies and sandwiches were covered in ants! So, off to the kitchen, shake off as much as you can and put them on new trays and back into the reception. This is ant season and trying to help ourselves out, we had put most of the food over early so that we wouldn't have to worry about getting bumped by the guests as they went in, well we learned our lesson!!
