Lindsey's father came by at 9:30 this morning. He told Lindsey that he and Kathy thought I'd be more comfortable if I had a dress shirt to wear to the wedding. So, he gave Lindsey money for that ($40) and another $30 for a present for the Veronica and Kenny. I took a shower and shaved while she ate breakfast in the kitchen with them. I was nearly out of shaving gel.
At Target we bought a white shirt for $18 and three cards—one for Kenny (Laura's brother), Gammy, and another in which to put the Target gift card. We printed out their registry, but everything was already bought except for a $52 item.
Next to Patrick Henry Mall to search for a tie. We looked in a couple different places for a ring for Lindsey (not engagement, just a ring, like the other day, also). We didn't find one. We found a $5.99 plain navy tie at one of those island thingies.
Lunch was again in the mall. We bought two pieces of pizza. A meat combination for me and pepperoni for her. It was very good. We then went back to Gammy's to get ready for the wedding. Gammy took a picture of us right before we left for Lindsey's parents' house. We were there for only a minute; her mom tied my tie.
The wedding was nice. It was recorded, with the screen displayed on the projector. We were in frame most of the time. The reception was at The 19th Hole (a country club type place). It was nicely decorated with red and white—balloons, things on the tables, etc. Christmas decorations were still up in both the church and this place. When Lindsey and I went to her practice a couple days before this, they were in the process of taking the Christmas decorations down. Veronica came when practice was over and was upset because she had asked them to leave them up. So, of course, it was all put back into place. Anyway, the reception was very fun. They had Little Smokies; no big even is complete without them. Many people danced, including Bud and Kathy.
We left early, right after the cake was cut. We went back to Gammy's and changed. We then went to Laura's for Kenny's birthday get-together. We stayed for thirty minutes or so. She and Lindsey exchanged Christmas presents. We gave her a walking, shaking, oinking pig called Oinkin' Ollie (Laura loves pigs). Lindsey received an electric candle and a book (something about dead people in the Bible). Andy was there.
I did a U-turn back to Laura's right away because Lindsey forgot her purse.
We decided to eat at Cheddars. We had wanted to go see "Birth" as well, but we ran short on time. It was a nice dinner. I had chicken tenders, fries, and green beans. She had the chicken tenders and shrimp plate. We ordered a Cookie Monster, but the cookie was too well done. The second was delicious.
