The wedding of the century!!
Those of you who have been reading my columns in The Oklahoman know that I have been feverishly planning my wedding which took place Feb. 22. Well, the great news is that the wedding went off without a hitch, mostly. I did cut my finger pretty badly while decorating the venue and later bled on my dress a little, but otherwise, the food was great, the flowers beautiful, the wine and beer flowed freely, people danced to the wonderful music provided by some of our great friends, the photos turned out incredible and everyone seemed to have a fantastic time. Here are a few photos from the wedding, all taken by Chris Landsberger.
The ceremony was beautiful. My daughter, Amber, cried her eyes out throughout the entire ceremony. Tears of joy, tears of relief that the whole thing is actually happening. She really loves her new stepdad.
After Andy kissed the bride, it was time for the reception, and party, to begin.
The cupcake cake was a huge hit. Every time I looked up I saw an adorable child walking by clutching a delicious cupcake with a look of sheer anticipation in her eyes.
The slideshow full of photos of Andy’s and my family and childhood was really neat and the band, which started out as just Chris and Rob from The Sugarfree Allstars rocked. Andy got up and played some drums (he was the original drummer for the Allstars) and then, Gordon Lazama and Matt Blagg joined the crew adding their horns to the mix. Andy’s dad, David Moore got up and shredded on the electric guitar, one of the groomsmen, Ty, joined in with his guitar stylings and I was even convinced to sing a tune. I chose “At Last.” I know, cheesy, especially since I sing it almost every weekend at someone else’s wedding but it was all I could think of in the moment and I figured, why not? At least this time, I was singing about my own love coming along:)
The UCO Jazz Lab was a great venue… The tables and chairs were perfect and ready to be decorated easily. The stage was just the right size. The big windows overlooking 5th Street in Edmond were lovely and the stage lighting made the room glow warm colors. I loved the venue.
I even got my baby brother, Scott Hill, out on the dance floor for a few minutes.

What a handsome couple! A beautiful event to mark a wonderful union! Quite possibly the single greatest achievement in human history….well at least it’s right up there with the wheel, the construction of the great pyramids of Egypt, putting a man on the moon, microwave popcorn, and other awe-inspiring feats of mankind. Who would have ever thought that Andy would find a girl to settle down with (and she’s a looker too!). Of course I kid, but I had to post a quick hello so I could be the first to do so. It was a great event, so congrats and may you have many wonderful years!
