The Bridal Party!!!

Our bridal party consisted of 2 bridesmaids (Alex's 2 younger sisters) Annette and Helene. We had a best man who was a mutual friend, Mitch. Our 3 Bear Bearers were Zenon and Larissa (twins, friends and neighbours!) and also Jacqui who is Mitch's little sister! Liz and Deanna were ushers and Alex's school friends.  They greeted guests as they arrived, handed out bags of dried rose petals and order of service booklets.  During the service Liz read the Epistle and Deanna held the plate with the rings on them.  Later they held up the Gospel as the priest read from it.
