it was a lovely wedding

I attended a family wedding in Biloxi, Mississippi this past Saturday.  My brother and I drove down for his grandson's wedding.  We were invited to the rehearsal dinner on Friday evening.  The Mexican food was excellent and it was fun catching up with relatives and ex-relatives.  I had a nice visit with my ex-sister-in-law (the grandmother of the groon) whom I hadn't seen in several years and a quick chat with my great-nephew's half-sister whose three children were in the wedding.  Also met the mother of the bride who is very nice. No surprise there.  Her daughter is very nice.  On Saturday we all gathered at an interesting historic hotel on the beach for the wedding, which was held on an outside terrace facing the ocean.  I'm sure the wedding pictures (and there were many of them) will be beautiful, as long as the goose bumps don't show.  It was a cloudy breezy day with a temperature around 57 degrees.  I sat there for the ceremony, which was very nice, bundled in my rain jacket, and watched the bride's maids standing and smiling in their sleeveless dresses.  The bride was also in a sleeveless, very pretty dress.  She was probably too excited to feel any cold.
The groom, on the other hand, was not in such great shape.  Turns out, due to flu or nerves, that he was really sick all day.  The wedding was held at 6:00pm.  At 4:00pm the groom was receiving a transfusion to rehydrate him.  He made it to the wedding, danced with his bride, and generally carried on like nothing was wrong for most of the evening.  
I'm sure the pictures will make it all look just lovely.
