HOMESTAY PROGRAM:
Part I: Ben & Becky's Wedding
Section C: Ceremony and Party.

The sun was shining as it had never shined before. It shined like a freshly minted loonie pressed into the still-wet cement of a sidewalk in a new subdivision in Baden. It was the shiniest rehearsal ever. The next day, for the actual wedding, it poured (rain). I kept telling anyone that would listen that "adversity unites people" and I think this was the main reason why people had such a good time despite the dismal weather. Ben, you're welcome.



This is Ben and me dancing to Dave Matthews Band "Crash Into Me". We pretended to have a lady with us in the hopes that a lady would see us, take pity on us for having imaginary partners, and come join us. It didn't work, probably because my tie was askew and what woman of integrity wants to dance with a man with a skewed tie?


The Rob dance.
My dad, Morio, dancing. I dragged my Mom onto the dancefloor where she humoured me as much as her dignity would allow. My dad joined us a few minutes later, bopping his way over to us. My dad is a natural bopper. He always bops and hums when he's heard a song that's moved him - i don't think he realizes that he does it. If look carefully at the photo, you can see his right foot bent at a 135 degree angle and his heel slightly off the floor. Together with this motion, he taps his right leg with his right hand (pictured) and thus loses himself in the joy of dancing for minutes at a time.


The Cousins Lichti: Derrick and Todd sing Thunderstruck. As you can see, it is not just a great rock song, it is a way of life.


Ladies in reeeeeddddd.... Steph and Lindsay, dancers and song-knowers esquire.
