Well we made it to St. Louis, and Dad and I were going to the wedding. On top of that, Dad had to be at the rehearsal so he could practice walking down the aisle.
The groom, Jake Exely, myself and the bride, my niece, Candice J. Cherry-Exely
So while at the dinner, he and the bride (Candice Cherry at the time), his granddaughter and my niece, had a happy moment together.
My Dad, Jim Eades, and his granddaughter (my niece) Candice J. Cherry. (This was before she was married.)
Dad met the groom at the rehearsal and gave him the grandfather seal of approval. There is absolutely no proof that a shotgun was in the area at that time. (Tee hee hee).

The wedding day started out a bit chili, as evidenced by the frozen ice on top of my car.
It was a bit icy, as evidenced by the top of my car that morning.
Then it was time for the wedding, so here are a bunch of photos from the wedding, mainly of the walking down the aisle.
Dad walks his carefully rehearsed walk down the aisle at the wedding ceremony.
A.J. Cherry, the bride’s oldest sister, walks down the aisle.
B.J. Cherry, the next sister of the bride walks down the aisle.
Danielle Cherry, the youngest sister of the bride, walks down the aisle.
The bride, Candice Cherry, soon to be Candice J. Cherry-Exely, walks down the aisle. She’s absolutely glowing. Oh, and that’s her dad Clif (with one f) walking her down the aisle.
Okay a post wedding photo…

The reception was held that evening. Many members of the family came from Indiana to see the occasion, and joined the party, including my Aunt Judy Eades, who is married to my Dad’s brother Phil.

That’s about all the photos I have of the Wedding of Candice Cherry to Jake Exely, but it’s enough to show one of the reasons I went on this Adventurous trip with my Dad. After that day, we went on to Madison, Indiana.
Here is a link to the previous post, the day with Dad in St. Louis.
