And in the Darkness Bind Them

Alison and I were wed this past Saturday, August 12 at the Liriodendron Mansion in Bel Air, Maryland. The weather was perfect, and both the ceremony and reception came off without a hitch. The "cast" of the wedding was as follows:

• Team Grondul: Alison and Michael, duh!
  
• Bride's Chick, First Class: Ashley, sister of the blushing bride
  
• Bride's Chick: Lisa
• Co-Best Dudes: Tom and Shuaib
  
• MC: The Reverend Doctor Nick
  
• Walking-the-Bride-Down-the-Aisle Guy: Frank, uncle o' the bride
• Poem-Reading Girl: Melanie
  

In addition to the above, I'd like to thank the following for helping make the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception go so well:

• Melinda
• Leah
• Amy
• Greg
• Ketan
  
• George
  
• Sharon, mother o' the bride
• Mary, auntie o' the bride
• Candace, auntie o' the bride
• Mickey, mother o' the groom
• Chuck, father o' the groom
• Lynn, cousin o' the groom
