8:00am — Phuket, Thailand — The wedding itself was beautiful and flawless. I wasn’t nervous at all and Sara looked wonderful. Our photographer, Dan, just did an amazing job. He knew everyone’s name, which made it go quicker and was just so encouraging. At the exchanging of the rings, I had a little surprise for Sara! I had a purchased the platinum matching wedding band and had Clinton slip it slyly out of his pocket after bringing the first two out. He slightly paused, and she didn’t instantly catch on what it was. She actually took a double-look. It worked out perfectly. Brian Doten’s eyes teared up a little. — In his brief message, he said we were faithful (something else starting with an ‘F’ that has to with being unselfish). and fun. The ceremony was very classy and elegant. The string quartet helped contribute to that as did the organ which played the traditional wedding march when Sara came down the aisle and then for the recessessional as well. After the entire party had exited, we went back in and excused each row one by one. I was disappointed by the number of people that failed to attend who said they would (many of whom said they thought it was SATURDAY). But, quite a number did come, which made me very happy.
