The Mortons' Wedding - Saturday, May 26, 2001

Cruising around the day of the wedding.  Huss at the wheel of the Cirrus (the ol' Camry was prematurely retired) with Tom riding shotgun.  We're on our way to Bob Evans for some breakfast with the groom and best man.  The groom managed to choke down some fruit, that's about it.

The battlefield before the big show.  Unfortunately, the picture did not capture Morton on his knees in the aisle with his hands outstretched toward heaven.  Trust me, he's there.

Mort getting ready for the main event.  The women were weeping in the streets that day, let me tell you.

Leake.  You know, for once before a wedding, I actually had a good night's sleep.

Hussle-T.

And the 402A roommates:  Huss, Mort, Leake, and Tom.  Who will be next?  That one's up in the air, but if I were a betting man my money's on Tom.  The other groomsman was Morton's cousin, Josh.

After the ceremony:  Mr. and Mrs. Ryan Morton.

Arriving at the reception.

The bride and groom taking their seats as Heather tries to maintain her composure.

Best view in the house:  Josh (Best Man), Ryan, Monica, Heather, Katie (groom's sister), Whitney (groom's sister), Amy, and Kelly.

Alas, Heather could take it no longer.  Josh (Best Man) and Heather (Maid of Honor) giving their speeches at the reception.

The newly-wedded couple dining.  I guess I felt it necessary to capture their every activity.

1 down, 3 to go:  Tom, Jeff, and Ryan.......

......though Jill does have dibs on one of them.  Here she is at the reception.

And the OU crowd present at the event.  In the back row:  Kurt, Ryan, Chris, Jenni, Brad, Jeff, Tom.  In the front row:  I'm not sure who the two on the left are, but Tammy, Heather, and Jill to the right of them.

The first dance of the evening.

The bouquet toss:  the victor was Morton's sister Whitney.

And the removal of the garter belt.  Huss was the lucky winner of the garter belt toss.

And the traditional placement of the bridal garter on that woman that caught the bouquet, in this case Morton's sister, Whitney.  Something tells me Mr. Morton, Sr. was keeping his eye on matters.

A congo line broke-out later at the reception, headed by the bride and followed by Tom and Jill.  Kurt and Leake just sat and watched.

Graduates of the grueling OU T-Comm program:  Hortense and Kurtis.

The groomsmen snuck outside for some preparation of the couple's departure vehicle.  Morton's cousin, Josh (Best Man) and Leake very proud of their work.  What was I again, Mort?  Was it Groomsman #4?  I see how it is.

Huss and Leake taking a moment to admire their work.

Actually, Kurt did the whole thing.  We didn't even know about it.

The groomsman stole away for a bit to catch a breath of fresh air, and to nip on the Jack Daniels.
