#melowedding2022 - Not so Melo

Canada Day is a day to Canada's confederation.  But Canada Day 2022, it was more then that.  It was a day to celebrate the marriage of two very good people.  It was a day to celebrate the marriage of Jayme and Deanna.  I've known them for a good five-years.  But they've become friends in that time.  Jayme and I along with the rest of the guys have had a bunch of good times thus far since I've known them.  The reception was another.  There is more to come.

The reception was at a quaint little venue in the heart of the hood part of Alphabet Soup on 20th.  Never heard of it prior to this.  That's besides the point.  The reception was a great time.  A banger as they say.  The drinks were flowing, there was food all around (they classed it up with McDonalds cheese burgers and Junior Chickens), dancing, laughs, and an all around good time.

I was hoping to get ready to rumble for the garter belt.  But c'mon Jayme.  You could have done better than that.  He just tossed it on the floor.  So I went and got it.  The bouquet toss was as you expected.  Women always rumble for the bouquet.  But seemingly a first, someone used their dress to block.  Jaclyn got the bouquet.  The ones that got the garter and bouquet had the option to dance.  So we did.  Why not?  The song played for the dance was "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" from the Lion King.

Jaclyn, thank you for the dance.  Riley, you have a good one.  Don't let her go.

Marriage is something that people think you have to do.  It's something that needs to happen right away in your life.  Jayme and Deanna have been together for 18-years or so.  They're proof that you don't have to get married right away.  They've enjoyed life, had kids, and built a great family.  It's admirable.

People come and go in your life, but some stay.  I'm grateful that they're in mine.  Thank you to my cousin Drew for introducing me to Jayme and Deanna.  They are good people.

Cheers to Jayme and Deanna on their wedding on Canada 2022.  Congrats, bay-bay!
