The Reception Party 2

Well here we are back at the Ellis Dance studio.
As a father I believe you always keep a  watchful  eye on your children to make sure no harm comes to them. In the first 3 pictures of this show it  might be construed that the old white haired gentlemen was not really a gentlemen after all  when he asked Amie,  my daughter a  special  question. You have to understand that at 68 years old, for him to make a suggestion like that it had to be special. All he really wanted was a second dance but Amie   handled her answer to him in a most graceful way. I believe her answer was something like no way!  The real question is Who was stepping on who's toes. By the way in case someone else is viewing these slides we never did identify who the old white haired one was . He kept saying  "I am a family member I am Walter Ellis the grand old patriarch of this family" Of course no one believed him, they figured he was just an old  wedding crasher there for a free meal and some booze. 
Between the dances the bouquet  was tossed, and you can see Tracey was ready for it. When the garter was tossed, taking no chances, Cory planned to keep his eyes closed  Boy was he  surprised to find it in his hand when he opened his eyes. Next came the ritual  of the cake smear. The party continued going downhill from there so some of the  some of  the younger family members had to leave. The last pictures were taken the next day at the brunch at the Checkoway's before we went our ways. Amie to Florida, Tom back to Maryland and Jen and Don were off to the Amtrak to New York City.
