Well Margaret-Ann and I are still playing catch-up in posting pictures of some of our past events. These ones, a mix of scanned images and digital photos taken by friends, are of our daughter's wedding. Enjoy!
The wedding and reception were held at the Millcroft Inn in Alton, about an hour northwest of Toronto nestled in the rolling Caledon Hills.
The Inn started out over a hundred years ago as a woolen mill. Here the mill pond ripples gently in front of a covered patio.
The reception area, below the fine dining restaurant, overlooks the pond's spillway.
The wedding ceremony was held outdoors on the lush grounds of the Inn.
Meredith and Margaret-Ann take a break and share a hug before rushing off to get ready for the ceremony.
Mike tries to relax with one of the guests before the ceremony.
Getting some last minute advice from father, Keith, and Best Man, Alex, doesn't seem to relax Michael very much.
The Best Man makes sure he has the rings.
The guests assemble in the late afternoon shadows in front of the gazebo.
A last minute hug between Meredith and John as the ceremony begins.
The proud father walks Meredith down the aisle to awaiting Michael.
Michael and Meredith take their vows.
Jeremy, Meredith's brother and acting Maid of Honour, serenades the guests as the newlyweds sign the registry.
The minister introduces for the first time Michael and Meredith as husband and wife.
The two families ... Michael's side on the left -- sister Kate, Keith, mother Eilleen, and Alex; Meredith's on the right -- John, Margaret-Ann, and Jeremy.
After all the hard work, Michael finally gets to relax a bit.
I don't think Meredith could be any happier.
At the cocktail reception, Margaret-Ann's family assembles for a rare picture together. Brother Jimmy, on the left, and mother Margaret came from Toronto. Brother Bobby, in the middle, came from Lethbridge; brother Bill from Sudbury, and sister Patti from Dallas.
Michael's uncle Roy, from England, is the only one without a drink, but doesn't seem too upset.
Meredith tries to sneak some beer into John's wine glass.
A good time was had by all at the cocktail reception!
After travelling through the UK for a week, Michael and Meredith wrap up their honeymoon in the British Virgin Islands. Here they check out "The Baths" on Virgin Gorda. It looks like Michael finally got to unwind!
