back inside, once the bridal party got there, they had a few minutes to catch their breath from the whirlwind of the day and then lined up for announcements.

each set of bridesmaid and groomsmen were announced with extra descriptions about themselves.  things like “hailing from painesville… he secretly likes chickflicks… and he loves hot bubble baths!” it was a really fun addition to traditional announcements.

meanwhile, becky and ed chuckled about what was announced.
