Juan and Cristina's Wedding
Juan and Cristina wed on March 8, 2003. The weather was beautiful (especially considering the awful winter we had), and the bride was even prettier. I know Juan through work, he's one of the computer tech guys, and also a lunch buddy.
	Juan and Cristina worked together at Enterprise car rental in Miami five or six years ago; they moved up here when Cristina was offered a job she couldn't refuse. The ceremony was held in a beautiful Catholic church, Saint Ann's, in northwest DC.
	After the ceremony, I got a picture of Andy, Daniel and John in their brand new suits. I think they are doing some sort of GQ version of Charlie's Angels. Don't they look suave/ready to kick some ass?
	Cocktail hour started at 5:00, which gave everyone enough time to change for the reception (the ceremony was at 2:00). Looks like Juan is enjoying coctail hour to the fullest, or maybe I just took the picture while he was talking.
	Everyone circled around the couple for their first dance and blew bubbles *resisting urge to tell bad Michael Jackson joke*. Other than making me weary of how slippery the dance floor became, the bubbles were a very nice touch.
	Here's an alternative picture of the couple's first dance. Daniel was playing with the camera's settings, and took this macro shot. I thought it looked pretty cool.
	The reception was at the Ritz Carlton at Pentagon City. The food was wonderful, the service excellent, and the dinnerware in abundance. I think each setting had six glasses.
	John, Andy and Dave all work with Juan in Internal Computing at AOL.
	Daniel gives this union two thumbs up.
	Erica, Dave's wife, didn't have to participate in the bouquet tossing tradition. Lucky her. The rule this time was that if the bouquet hit the ground, Cristina would have to throw it again. She had to throw it three time (and it almost hit me each time) before finally giving it to one of her bridesmaids. All the other single women avoided the bouquet like the plague.
	While compiling this album, I noticed there weren't any group shots that included Daniel and myself. I guess we never got our pictures with the bride and groom. Oh well. Here's a better shot of Daniel's taylored and sharp suit, and my elegant and fun dress. (I couldn't help including this picture. My apologies to those who are here to see pictures of the bride and groom.)
	Finally, the cake cutting. Cristina and Juan were very nice and didn't try to smoosh it in each others' faces. By the way, the cake was awesome, as was everything else. Congratulations on a beautiful wedding, and as the best man said in his toast, may all your ups and downs be between the sheets.
