Lance and Traci's wedding was fun. Friday night was the rehearsal dinner at Shorty's BBQ . The food was very good. I'm not a huge barbecue fan but this stuff was fantastic. The food was served buffet style and included: Pulled pork, pulled beef, ribs, whole chicken, baked beans, green beans, cole slaw corn muffins and bread. Shorty's doesn't load up on the sauce but has two different sauces on the table so you can load up on it. The restaurant is owned by the Mancy's family which owns 3 others in the Toledo area.

The wedding took place at the Mansion View Bed and Breakfast. The mansion is a 10,000 square foot house built in 1887. Pretty cool house to visit but I can't even begin to think of what it would be like to vacuum the place!! I arrived to the mansion about 2-1/2 hours prior to the start of the wedding and I think that we were starting to worry the bride and parents. The bride kept sending people into the room that the guys were supposed to be getting ready in and we were just sitting around shooting the bull and never really moved from our seats. Finally the photographer comes in the room asking if we were ever going to get ready; it took us all of 7 minutes to do so! We were ready a half hour before we needed to take pictures. After the ceremony we took the traditional limo ride around town and finished off about 3/4 bottle of Jamison's (three of us) and two bottles of bubbly. Did the reception thing during which time I totally bombed the toast. I had the first 3 pages pretty much memorized but the rest of it was a disaster. Thankfully no one ever remembers the toast anyhow.

Sunday was pretty much catch up day of cleaning, laundry and running errands.
