I was directed to retrieve the garter using my teeth only. Far be it from me to disobey a direct order!	"THAT'S NOT MY GARTER!!!"
The darn garter had no spring left in it which made it difficult to toss.	I had to get my nephew Luke to help me toss the garter.

After the rehearsal we all went over to my parents place in Bells Corners to have a great dinner (Thanks Mom & Dad)!	Paule and I gave out gifts to our wedding party. We really do appreciate all of your help.

Henri giving me a hand getting my tux on. He made sure I packed some extra t-shirts for later on...good call Henri!	(no picture)

Our first week was spent at the very nice "Bear Trail Resort". Paule is seen here with two necessities...a Corona and a bottle of "Off".	Every morning we had breakfast brought to our log cabin and we usually ate outside on our deck. Excellent food! We had a private spot on Galeairy Lake which extends into Algonquin Park.
We went mountain biking one day.	We went horseback riding the next day...which wasn't the smartest thing to do since the seats on the mountain bikes left us with sore butts!
We spent a lot of time around the heated salt water pool soaking up the sun and ordering awesome Pina Collatas!	This is a picture of Paule on our deck at Sunny Point Cottages (Otter Lake).
