Our very good friends PJ & Heather got
married on June 7, 2003. We went to Maryland for the festivities and
had a great time. We really enjoyed meeting the family and friends,
although we were guilty of spending a lot of time with the big crowd of
Houston-ites that made the trip. It was a very nice wedding weekend,
everything was convenient, they fed us 3 meals, and had an open bar.
With our crowd, that's really all it takes for a successful
weekend!

 |
| Day 1 we hung out in Baltimore and waited for our friends Amy
& Tammy to arrive. |
We toured the USS Constellation, this is looking up at
the mast

 |
 |
| The Inner Harbor from the deck of the ship |
Harbor Place - a shopping & entertainment area on the water |
|
|
 |
 |
| Amy arrived around 2, here we are having lunch |
We walked up the hill to a park, this is the view back to Harbor
Place |

Tammy arrived at 4 and we headed to Columbia, MD
for the first event of the wedding weekend - the rehearsal
dinner to which all guests were invited. Cool! |
| |
|
| |
|
 |
 |
Stacey with Annet & Ozzie - they came all the way
from Aberdeen, Scotland for the wedding. |
To be fair I have to tell that PJ & Heather traveled to
Iceland for Annet & Ozzie's wedding. That's where PJ proposed!
It was very romantic... |
| |
|
 |
 |
This is PJ & Heather making gift presentations and saying thank you's.
The picture is so dark you'll just have to trust me on that one. |
| |
|

|
PJ saying something outrageous |
 |
| |
Amy, being serenaded. This happens a lot to Amy! |
|
|
 |
|
| I have no idea what's going on here, but I love this
picture! |
They must have gotten the point across, now they look smug
& content |
|

 |
|
Heather's Grandma
She is a sweetie! |
| Ray, the party animal. He was a force on this
night. |
|
| |
|
Heather seemed quite pleased with herself
all weekend. No doubt because she got a
great husband AND was on her way to Hawaii!
|
 |
| |
|
| |
|
 |
 |
| Stacey & Michael, though he really doesn't look like
this... |
PJ seems pretty pleased with himself too - and he
should! |
| |
|
|
|
OK, I admit it -
this picture was staged.
We're bad, but we did
at least use glasses! |
 |
| |
Heather's parents (Howard & Jeanne) her sister Kerri,
and PJ's brother Richard |

|
 |
 |
| Jennifer & Eric Enos with Heather's parents |
These two look so much alike it's amazing! |

The Wedding
It was a Jewish Ceremony, a first for many of us. They thoughtfully
provided a handout to explain things to us. I was polite (for a change!)
and didn't take pictures during the ceremony.
|
 |
 |
| This was a chuppah. It symbolizes the new home that they
will create as husband & wife. |
Crowd shot of my buds
|
| |
|
 |
|
|
After the ceremony we had a social hour with
appetizers and drinks while they transformed the room into the reception area.

The Perfetta men - looking dashing

| Here we are at the reception, Eric is wearing his party
face |
Michael says, "Bring on the food!"
|
| |
|
 |
|
The first dance,
it was very pretty
Pretend that the light
behind them is romantic
moonlight and not the
videographer's light. |
| |
|
| |

|
Here's Eric & Amy in
a more realistic pose |

These girls are always the life of the party
|
| |
|
| |
|
 |
 |
|
I decided to get into a couple of pictures, you can
tell Michael was thrilled
|
| |
|
 |
 |
| Cute picture of the Chodzkos! |
Catching the bouquet |

 |
 |
| |
The garter removal starts out normal... |
| |
|
 |
 |
| But ends up a bit risqué! |
A well executed garter toss |
| |
|
 |
Aahhh! |
|
Here they are, getting tired of having their picture taken |
| |
|
| |
|
 |
Here I got caught
attacking my husband
- oops! |
Eric & Heather got a dance that started out nice... |
| |
|
| |
|
 |
 |
| But seemed to degenerate into laughter |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
Eric's got all the ladies going, it's like
Chippendales all over again
|
| |
|
 |
 |
|
I didn't know what they were doing then, and I have
even less of an idea now.
They were definitely having a good time though!
|
| |
|
|
PJ - he's so cool he's hot
|
 |
| |
I'm not even sure I should have put this picture in here,
as I can't tell what's going on. This is, after all, a family show. |
|
|
|
The band, they were very good |
 |
| |
Yes, this is our feet. |
| |
|
Now Michael is getting attacked - I'm sure he didn't mind! |
 |
| |
I don't remember if we were doing the hokey pokey or what |
| |
|
I think she loves him, what do you think?!
|
 |
| |
Here they are thanking us all for coming... |
| |
|
|
|
and encouraging us to leave.
Just kidding. The party continued
upstairs but Eric & I were too tired
to go on.
The next day was a brunch and then
we left for the airport. Good trip!
Best of luck PJ & Heather, we wish
you many years of happiness and love!!
