Kristen's Wedding

It seems like only yesterday, sorry Kristen, that I baby sat Kristen for the one and only time. She was old enough to talk, but still was still wearing Diapers .
  Now she is married and I feel no older then I did then, except for a few gray hairs, some would say more then a few, but I only got a few hairs and an extra thirty pounds I feel the same.
  The wedding was beautiful, the day, cold and over cast. The day before was warm and sunny, as was the day after. It didn't take anything away from a great wedding.
  They were wed at St. Anthony's old church, a very beautiful church. When ever there is a wedding in a Catholic Church the stories about lying to the Priest always start to circulate. To blow my own horn, I refused to lie to the Priest, so we didn't get married where Teri's parents got married, in Nyack. It was over the questions the Priest would ask. The one about will you raise your children as Catholics, I told Teri I would not, this was about the time of all the sexual allegations about Priest. If we ever renew our vows, I will raise any further children Catholic.
  The reception was at the Rockleigh Country Club, nice place, been there, done that before. Mike Marsico was married there in 1988
.
  We walked into the cocktail hour a little late. I could be happy with just the cocktail hour food, this was even better then normal. Elena and I hit the French Fry and slider station first. I then went to the calamari and other Italian food station. I should of quit there, but I went on.
  After the Cocktail hour we sat down to an abundance of food. There was bread and butter, there was more food then I can remember. I had a great steak, some chocolate covered Strawberries. So much food that I could not look at the wedding cake when they served it. It looked good, couldn't touch it. Best wedding I've been to in many a year.
