Tracey and Yan's Wedding
The Bride and Groom - Tracey and Yan Tremblay
"You may now kiss the bride"
The three bridesmaids, all in a row
The dress (notice what good taste Tracey has - no frills!!! No Fuschia!!!)
A traditional Scottish wedding - men in kilts (commando and all!) and bagpipes blaring
Dancing at the reception
The man removes the bride's garter with his teeth - for good luck. After this feat, he tosses it into the crowd of bachelors - rumour has it that the man who catches the garter will be the next to marry.
A late night for the kids - they decided to sleep in the corner.
Tracey's newest neice: Emma, 2 months old
The happy couple, the day after their wedding
