Reception

Saturday, October 4, 2003
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Dinner - 6pm

Introducing the wedding party... here's the Best Man (Matthew O' Meara) and Maid of Honour (Susan Benjamin)

The Head Table with the Wedding Party

The kissing game - Wedding Plinko, provided by the DJ... the MC Plays it first


The more people try to get the couple to kiss


They succeed in getting the couple to kiss


"...Welcome to the family James..."

"...Welcome to the family Josée..."


I'll drink to that...

Thank you to everyone for making this day special


Dancing - 8pm


Our First Dance:  "But I Do Love You" by LeAnn Rimes from the movie "Coyote Ugly" which was the first movie we saw alone together

Father & Daughter/Mother & Son dance:  "Unforgettable" by Nat King Cole and his Daughter Nathalie Cole... appropriate, wouldn't you say?

Beautiful (and yummy) wedding cake...

 

 

Right before cutting of the wedding cake


Man, Margaret Pepper (James' ex-girlfriend - it's ok, we are all friends) really wants that bouquet!!!

 

This picture is deceiving - looks like Pierre (the bride's brother) will get it, but Greg (the MC) ends up with it...



The Maloney girls (James' Mother's side) do their traditional dance around the couple to the song "I will love you forever"

 


Looks like everyone is having a great time!!

 

Look!!! James is dancing with his mom!!! (catching him on the dance floor doesn't happen often)

Can't forget the sock dance - where the older sibling has to dance in his sock feet if the younger sibling gets married first... Dance Away Pierre!!  "Rasputen", the song was 4 minutes long - longest 4 minutes of his life!!

Getting ready to leave in our royal chariot... a '68 Cadillac

We left at around 12:30am

One last toast before we head to the hotel..

Bye everyone - see you tomorrow for the Brunch!!
