My mom also gave me the shrunken version of the hankerchief/quilt that I could actually carry during the ceremony.
So the wedding party all headed for the church then, to do a quick set of group photos and get those out of the way. The photographer had left before us but went to the wrong church, so she was a little late starting our photos. Since we had a relatively short list of group photos it worked out fine and we had time to relax, hang out with friends and family that came early, and have some fun.
Most of the pictures below are somewhat random and candid pictures of the wedding party hanging out before, during, and after the formal photos. The wedding party consisted of: Mike (groom), Maya (bride), Corey (best man), Carmela (matron of honor), John (groomsman & groom's brother), Teri (groom's sister), Ty (bride's brother), James & Marlene (groom's parents), Sonia (bride's mother), and Gene, Howard, Darren, and Chris (ushers).
