Denelle Dilulo & Don Doescher

When: Sunday, June 28th, 2009
Where: Grand Forks Clarion Inn
1st Dance Song: "Another Side of You" by Joe Nichols

This is actually my third wedding this same weekend, and only my second wedding on a Sunday in my 11 years. This weekend also saw my first Thursday night, and Friday delayed by a tornado.

The last time I saw Denelle before today was July of 2006, at her Matron of Honor Erica Speidel's wedding, catching the bouquet. A photo (left) I was more than happy to dig up from the archives. Side note: At the wedding this photo was taken at, the toss bouquet was missing at the reception and we used the spare I had brought.

The wedding party was huge. I announced a total of 20 people into the room for the Grand March.


Once I had dismissed all the tables for the buffet we got Denelle & Don over for their cake pictures. Rather than worrying about him smashing her face with the cake, she should have worried about crumbs. Apparently a chunk of the cake fell into the bustier of her dress and had to be fished out.

We started our dance a bit differently. Rather than Don and Denelle themselves, it was Denelle and their son Trey (Photo: Right. Before he got too cranky - it was past bedtime), and Don with his mom, Gloria. Then Denelle and Don got to dance together. We also had songs to recognize Denelle's dad, her mom, and, of course, Don's two little girls.
