Christy waits for Fritz.  Fritz waits for Christy

The musicians, Sarah and Jonathan Palmer, Melodie McDonald, and Phillip Calvillo, follow the instruction of pianist, Carrie McDonald, soon-to-be Hinrichs.

Tom and Joanne Hinrichs               

The bridesmaids: Elizabeth Bawcom, Tracy Amano, and Naomi Woods.

Groomsmen: Jon Andreas, Jon Petersen, and Joseph Hinrichs.   Pastor Bawcom encourages the couple to honor God in their marriage.

The vows are made.

Fritz and Christy wait eagerly to be pronounced "husband" and "wife".

Fritz kisses (gasp!) his bride.

The groomsmen (led by Jon Andreas, surprisingly) pull a prank on Mr. H. but they really did not lose the ring, much to the delight of everyone involved.  Pastor Bawcom prays for the couple.

Husband and Wife!

Flower girls Emily Hope, Rachel Faith, Anne Grace, Rebekah Joy, Kate Charity Andrews, Kirianne Olsen, and Ringman Samuel Thomas Andrews.

The toasts

Fritz and Christy waltz to the "Blue Danube" and then break into a Louis Armstrong "Heebie Jeebie" swing.

Jeremy Yergler does an excellent job of calling the folk dances while our lively band plays.

Sarah Palmer teaches Addison Hinrichs a few dance steps.  (Or is it the other way around?)

The strawberry champagne cake! Fritz and Christy make the first cut.

Christy tosses the bouquet, which scatters across the room, on purpose!

Christy seeks comfort from Fritz after a long, happy and tiring day.

The Honeymoon, Part I

Our car was merrily decorated by Joe, Carrie, and Mrs. Tom Hinrichs. Their sense of humor appropriately connects our marriage to some computer lingo.
