We made it back from San Diego, dear readers! My friends’ wedding was wonderful and joyous, and I got to embarrass myself when I was called one to do Just One Thing: introduce the new couple.<\/p>\n

I stood by the gate that led into the reception in the courtyard of the church<\/a>, got everyone’s attention, and announced, “It’s with the greatest joy that I introduce Ian and Jessica Kelley!”<\/p>\n

At that moment, the delivery truck for Raphael’s Party Rentals pulled up outside the gate. Ian & Jess were not in this pickup truck, and the photographer was not excited about taking pictures of the bride & groom with Raphael’s truck in the background.<\/p>\n

So the wedding planner<\/a> asked the truck to move. I waited till I definitely saw the happy couple a few steps from the gate, and said, “It is with slightly less spontaneity but just as much joy that I introduce Ian & Jessica Kelley!”<\/p>\n

And everything worked out. There are even pictures<\/a>, if you don’t believe me. (Amy will post hers soon, and they’re SO much better than mine, so check back at her site<\/a> for them.)<\/p>\n
