Marriage. Through the Eyes of the Best Man.
Last month my best friend since 10th grade got married to a wonderful girl, who I'm happy to call one of my best friends as well. I was fortunate enough to be the best man in the wedding and of course my camera went along with me to try and tell the story of their big day.
The Rehearsal. One night left until Death Do us Part.
Tomorrow when we look out the pews will be full of friends and loved ones.
Mother of the bride getting in a few pre-game shots.
Kristen and her dad all smiles for their practice run down the aisle.
The Big Day. The Myers Syzgenda Wedding.
Bryan talks to his big brother, Jason, who you notice is dressed and ready for the photographer who is scheduled to arrive in 5 minutes. The groom on the other hand not so much.
Moving in the right direction.
David is ready and Eric is getting there but what about the groom?
Finally... progress.
Mr. Myers and myself checking out our tuxes one last time before photos.
Best Man Supplies: Marriage Certificate to make this official. Flask incase the Bryan gets nervous at the church. Not pictured but safely tucked in my pocket are the Wedding Bands.
Bryan skillfully pins on Mom's flowers.
No worries no cold feet here.
We're ready get the party started.
Of course Myers has a knife on his wedding day. Performing some last minute surgery on Eric's tux.
Looking sharp Bryan waits to head out into the sanctuary.
I definitely had the best view in the house... well except for maybe God.
Officially Bryan and Kristen Myers.
Hurry up and Wait. Picture time.
After a job well done minister and family friend, Chad Delaney waits to get his photo taken with the bride and groom.
Rainy gazes at the stars on the ceiling of the limo while we wait out the photo shoot.
The King and Queen of winter head to the limo after photos at the church.
Keeping warm during the out door photo shoot at the skating rink. Being in the wedding party is hard work.
We Finally made it to the hotel.
Time to make a grand entrance.
Introduction to everyone for the first time as Mr. and Mrs. Myers at the reception.
Kristin getting some attention from the photographers.
A civil ending to a cheesecake war.
Byan proves his Manhood.
Father Daughter Dance.
Bryan gets some words of wisdom from Mom during the dance.
Chicken Dance.
The party continued well into the night, but this is where our story ends.
I have to say thank you to Kristin and Bryan for letting me be apart of the most important day of their lives thus far.
There will be more posts coming soon from my new location in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. So keep checking back.

One Month and One Roll of Toilet Paper Left
Walking the family buffalo.
I have been in India for 5 months now... i've neglected my blog for almost two months, but for good reason. My options were to either blog or to sleep, for once i actually chose sleep. I have so much to say and much has changed since my last post but there just isn't enough time to put it all into words. So here are a few numbers.
I've clicked my camera 11,549 times as of yesterday
On Dec. 19 I will finish up my 4th and final class of spoken English students
I'm currently working on 3 journalism projects
I have 1 roll of American toilet paper remaining (tp is difficult to come by in Umarkhed)
The evening English class of young kids has grown from 3 students to 12 students in 2 classes one taught by me and the other by Kelly
I have attended and photographed 3 Hindu weddings
I have exactly 30 days left
My internet is extremely slow today so I can only upload two photos. In the next few days I'll try to add a few more. For the rest you will have to wait until I am home or until I can launch the India section of my website www.dennyculbert.com

Nagpur, Bombay, and Umarkhed
Taking tea at 4 am in Bombay with two Muslim men before their morning prayers on the second to last day of Ramadan.
This post is mostly to put up the photos that I have been saving for way too long now. I haven't had much time to post recently because I am working to get the English classes working again at Gawande College. I will try to post another update soon. Until then I hope you enjoy the photos.
