But it was a Conga Line. Somehow, Veggie Girl got drafted as the leader, despite her protests. Everyone we passed was dragged in, until the whole room was full of this dancing line.
One literally had to be sitting in a corner to escape.

A very strange dance--the jackets and shoes
One of those get-to-know each other things. Everyone switched suit coats, shoes, partners, and so on.
That's my SIL Debra in the foreground.
GolferGirl Kris, pb, SIL Sharon, and BabySister Pam
From here on, the photos are mostly a mixture taken of my family and friends. We partied some 5-6 hours, eating, drinking and dancing. Lots of visiting.Saturday, November 18, 2006
What's wrong with this picture?
Dressed to kill, and looking like death. I don't know why I'm so unhappy-looking here. Actually I don't much remember even coming in at this time. Any of the staged stuff annoyed me. And everyone else, I guess. We wound up eliminating stuff as we went along. I highly recommend doing that. If it gets too stagy, kill it. If it's too difficult, eliminate it, and everyone will thank you. The one thing I keep hearing from well-wishers is a big thank you for eliminating the reception line. It didn't happen on purpose, it just happened. The kids are pros at throwing a party and they simply rolled with the punches. And like most weddings, there were plenty of punches. The following pictures are presented in no particular order.
Sisters in Law, Baker side
Debby K. Baker and Sharon D. Baker. Hadn't seen them in just about forever.
Brother in Law, LIttle Bro and Veggie Girl
Beloved Brother in Law Patricio Tapia,
"Little" Brother Matthew, and VeggieGirl Katrina
This is so much better
Outside the Inn just before the festivities. My Baby Sister Pam Baker Tapia, Yours Truly and Husband RJ.
All done, all good
Once we got past the usual stuff, Emily and Geoff were able to relax and enjoy some Red Cat, the official wine of the kids and their friends.
