After our first dance our DOC immediately handed Mr P and me pints of beer so we could settle in for speeches from the dads. Best DOC ever!
*All photos by Amore Studios unless otherwise noted.
The dads were all that was keeping us from yummy food so we were appreciative that their speeches were heartfelt and brief.
FIL Pretzel had a lot of practice. Three out of four of his children got married in the 2009/2010 years and Mr P and I were the last. The advice he shared with us was solid and tear inducing.
Papa Pretzel is my rock and my best friend. I was nervous that his speech would have me a blubbering mess. After some words of congratulations and welcoming Mr Pretzel to the family my dad did something so thoughtful. He read a poem from his baby sister. My Aunt M couldn’t make it out to Seattle for the wedding (she did party her butt off with us last November at our hometown reception though) and she sent my dad with a poem.

Papa Pretzel’s speech might not have been long, but it was really special to have my aunt’s words with us.
Did the dads keep it short and sweet at your wedding?

Mrs. Pretzel, Seattle Age and Occupation: 32 Learning, Training, and Development Specialist Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28 Manufacturing Engineer Engagement Date: September 2, 2009 Wedding Date: July 2010 Venue: Catholic Church & The Engine Room at Georgetown Studios About Me: I’m just a thirty-something girl who never dreamed of weddings, poofy dresses, or ritzy receptions. I am a rabid knitter, except recently, wedding projects have replaced my yarn and needles. I’ve been fiercely independent since the age of 2 and 30 years later I think my family and friends had given up on me settling down and getting married. Ironically, I had to go all the way to Seattle to find a boy from Purdue. We fell in love over Seattle Beers and cooking together. I love NASCAR, he loves Legos. I can talk like a Muppet and he can fit a whole McDonald’s cheeseburger in his mouth. We are a two reception couple, currently planning a brewery inspired bash.
