We decided to do the whole traditional “grand entrance” thing at our reception. That was the funny thing about our wedding… we ended up doing a lot more of the standard wedding traditions than we originally thought we would. It just kind of worked out that way. Anyhow, we wanted to do our first dance before dinner was served so we did the grand entrance and then went right into our first dance.
We had two songs picked out for the entrances but they were too obscure and our DJ didn’t have them in his collection. I planned to bring them on CD for him and I totally forgot about it! It was no big deal, though. Mr. Radish made a last-minute executive decision and we used “Rock and Roll” and “Immigrant Song” by Led Zeppelin. Not necessarily your common wedding-fare, but Mr. Radish is a big old guitar geek and loves the Zep.
Before the newly minted Mr. and Mrs. Radish were introduced, the rest of our wedding party got their moment in the spotlight.

My grandmother escorted by my step-father. She had a knee replacement surgery about 6 months before the wedding, so she was really happy that she healed up in time for the wedding and she insisted on walking out for the introductions. We were going to just have her stand from her seat, but she wanted to show off her new knee!

My mother escorted by my uncle. She decided to walk out with him instead of my step-father because my uncle walked me down the aisle. My mom always makes a stink face in pictures. She’s very intractable.

Now for the bridesmaids & groomsmen…




A lonely groomsman. We were short a bridesmaid so he had to fly solo.

More cute kids…

Here we are!




This is actually a non-pro picture from my uncle… but I like it.

Up next - our first dance!
