Lee + Stacy's Wedding

It took me a while (and some coaxing from a few friends [thanks!]), but I finally made it onto the dance floor. Several people took it upon themselves to make sure that I had a good time dancing. There's some unwritten rule that states 'when a girl asks you to dance, you dance.' I was only following the rules.

TJ's Dad Tony is the frontrunner in the 'luckiest man of the evening' contest, earning the honor while he danced with Jen (left) and Michelle (right). TJ calls him "his Old Man", but he looked right in place along with these youngsters. Tony's a great guy, and I really enjoyed his company when we went up to Lomira for Lee's bachelor party. (Now that's an interesting story...)

Coming in at a very close second is Brodey. While Tony was hitting the floor with Jen and Michelle, Brodey took the time to dance with TJ's Mom Karen. The two got along quite well, and Brodey even offered to take her to lunch sometime in the near future.

In order for there to be lucky guys, there has to be someone who is unlucky. Same famous guy once said that, what was his name...oh yeah, Jesus. Everybody needs somebody to love, someone to love. Now I know who said that, it was the Blues Brothers.

Aaron and Karl get down and diiiiiirrrrty on the dance floor, but it seems as neither of them really care. That's the greatest part about hanging out with friends and family.

The two fisted slobber (for all you County Stadium fanatics) makes a triumphant return in the body of TJ. He spirited through the room with dynamic flair, and all was well.

3's are always better than pairs. If you're questioning my statement, see the Three Musketeers, the Three Amigos (yea Chevy Chase!), the Holy Trinity (yea Holy Ghost!), not to mention great movie trilogies (Mighty Ducks and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). So it only seemed right that the three of us (Scott. Lee, and Aaron, notably in ascending order, like a staircase) pose for a picture.

Two generations of Bodden's stand together, each of them embracing the bond that connects them as father and son. Tony must be offering up his drink to me as a token of his respect for me (and all of TJ's friends) for being themselves, but I return the favor and offer up my drink to him, and everyone present at this occasion.

Well that's it for the pictures. We danced, we laughed, and celebrated good times. It was truly a wonderful event, and I thank Lee an Stacy and their families for allowing me to partake in such a lovely day. I had such a great time, and I count myself lucky to be amongst such a great crowd of people. Words can no longer express the thanks I owe to everyone (Jen, Michelle, Gina, Liz for making me dance and have fun; Aaron for riding a tank a providing me with perhaps the funniest picture ever and doing the Electric Slide; Lee for being my best friend and my best roommate ever that year at Oshkosh; Richie and Millie for letting me stay in their room so I wouldn't have to drive home that night; Jeff and Brodey for providing everyone with entertainment that those two can only provide; and everyone in Lee and Stacy's family for all of the hard work that they put into this to make such a memorable event possible. If I left anyone out, I'm worry, I didn't mean it and you'll always have a special place in my heart.)
