Part 2: The Wedding
Preston and I got ready to head to the
wedding at his place, and luckily Preston knew how to tie my tie or I would have been out of luck. We were also getting pretty hungry, and as I didn't want to pass out in the heat, we stopped by Walmart to grab some snacks. After that, we swung by Jake's place to pick up him and DW.
Of course we arrived late to the wedding, but we didn't miss anything, so it was okay. After quickly saying "hello" to everyone, I went with the other ushers to stand at the front of the aisle and escort people to their seats.

Being an usher was extremely easy considering that the aisle was so short. I was definitely more nervous about it than I should have been. Most people opted to just walk to their seats alone anyway, but the people I did take were more than happy to have some assistance. I actually got to be a part of the ceremony, which I wasn't expecting, when I walked Grandma from the house on the property to her seat at the very beginning. After that I sat back and watched what turned out to be a very nice wedding.

Jake recorded the whole ceremony and made a short little video that you can see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCNQrQp3nL8.
After the ceremony, of course, comes the reception and the dance and all the good stuff. The reception was held at the same place, feet away from where the ceremony was held. The dinner was Mexican cuisine which I was extremely happy about. I got to visit with everyone in my family and overall we had a really good time. I don't know that I could have asked for a better birthday celebration, being with both my family and my Texas friends.
After the reception ended, we went to Jake's for a little bit and just hung out. The next day I needed to be in San Antonio around 12 to pick my mom up from the airport, so we got to bed kind of early. All in all, though, the day was awesome, and I'm so happy I was able to make it down from Chicago to attend such an awesome wedding. Now I'm wondering which on of the Bondesen cousins will be next!
