Wedding

Shane's brother, Tommy, married his fiancee, Farrah, on Sunday, March 8th. It was held at the Hotel ZaZa, a very nice hotel on Hermann Circle. I told Shane anytime he wants to surprise me with a night out that he could take me there. Apparently, it is frequented by famous people. While there, we saw Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, and Hershell Walker. I will say that although it is a nice hotel, it is very weird too, meaning the artwork is kind of out there. When it was time to go, Shane and I ran up to the groom's room to get his bag. While in there, I used the restroom. On the wall in the restroom was a racy picture of an almost nude woman that looked like it belonged in Playboy magazine. What was the purpose of the picture? Is that room always a groom's room? Are there pictures like that in every room? Weird!


Anyway, the day before the wedding, we all met up at the Hotel ZaZa for the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. The rehearsal dinner was held at Benjy's. Benjy was a client of mine when I worked at Arthur Andersen so it was neat to see his place finally. It is in the Village off of Dunston. I highly recommend it as the food was great. We ate off the brunch menu. Here are some pics from the lunch:

The next morning, or the day off the wedding, Jacob woke up with a 101 degree fever. Mom and Dad were nice enough to keep him so I could attend the wedding. The wedding was beautiful. I wish I had a better picture of Farrah in her dress (my camera battery went out and the extra was in my other purse...man, was I mad at myself.) After the ceremony, we had a four course meal, which was delicious, and then dancing. Here is the only picture I have of Farrah. Far left is Christy, Shane's sister and a bridesmaid. Also in the picture is Shane in the very back, Shane's dad, Shane's grandfather and his brother Bill.

Here is the best pic of all...Shane dancing with Lillian. Lillian is Shane's grandfather Thurman's girlfriend of many years. We consider her just another grandmother. She really got down on the dance floor.

Tommy and Farrah were lucky enough to honeymoon in Costa Rica for 10 days. We are excited that she is a part of our family and very happy for Tommy.

Jacob continued to have a fever for a couple of days. He missed 2 days of school. He had a sinus infection and bronchitis...I didn't even know he was sick! That makes me feel terrible. Well, he seems better now and did well last week skiing in Colorado. I have lots of pics to share from our trip...next post!
