Chelsea and Branden's Wedding

This past Saturday, July 12th, our family attended the wedding of Chelsea and Branden Thompson. It was held at Kumler Chapel on the Miami University campus, a beautiful church modeled after a chapel in Normandy, France. We woke up that morning to lots of thunderstorms, but luckily they cleared up by the time the ceremony began. Rain on a wedding day is supposed to be good luck, of course maybe that saying was coined by someone who had rain on their own wedding day!

We got to see lots of friends Chip and I graduated with over a year and a half ago, most of whom had not met Trey. He was so alert and quiet when we arrived, but once the music began, he fell asleep right away. I think it's because I always have his radio in his nursery set to the classical station while he sleeps, and now whenever he hears classical, it's like Pavlov's dog, he's conditioned to go right to sleep! The ceremony was beautiful, with many of our musically talented friends performing.

We decided not to attend the reception, which was in downtown Cincinnati, thinking it would be a little too much for Trey for one day. We did however meet up with some friends at Wendy's for lunch, still in our formal clothes. We made Wendy's a classy place that morning!
