Thank You...

Thanks to all who came to the wedding and made our day so special. From the smiles i saw when walking down the isle...to the hugs and kind words during the reception, we appreciate all of you who participated in our wedding day. I've already received some amazing pictures from Cassie, Mike Sego & Lee Ann Jung that I will post soon! Everyone looked so beautiful! April took many pictures of the reception & guests on the patio. All of these will be available online...go to www.aprilrietze.com & choose "Preview/order" & choose "carrico wedding". She has them categorized & makes it very simple. I will shoot an email when they post. I want to apologize for the sparkler injuries including Marjie Pippin (foot), Cris Whelan (hand) & Misty Miller who got her hair singed. April said these pictures did not turn out well! But the effort will not go unappreciated...thanks guys for being such great sports! Thanks to those who joined us on the dance floor...we had a great time! For those of you who could not stay or could not leave the perfect weather on the patio...the "Come on ride the train" choo-choo & the two lines on the dance floor were awesome. & thanks to Emme & Sophie Page for the "Kidz Jam"! You girls were great! & Owen's relentless break dancing was a sight to see...incredible. I don't want to forget Richard Drier (Mike's old friend), Lana & Robert Soza, Lee Ann & Chris Jung, Mom & Randy & the Owensboro crew who also busted some major moves...it's great to see people having fun & lettin' loose! We had a great time & can't wait to see everyone's pictures! I'll keep in touch & hopefully we can all get together soon to reflect on the weekend and our family & friends who shared this day with us.

I want to especially thank Rena, Emme, Sophie & Pete for their time (showers, parties, driving from knoxville), effort (bachlorette party, engagement party, wedding prep-dresses, etc) & support during this time-they all were amazing in their individual roles in the wedding; Will for his enthusiasm, excitement & awesome toast as best man; Jenny, Todd, Stephanie & Tom for helping so much with Friday night; Jenny & Stephanie for tolerating my stress Saturday morning & keeping me together; Todd for helping Will & expediting the golf excursion; Mom & Randy for helping Friday, Saturday & Sunday-cooking, cleaning & running last minute errands all weekend; Barbara for bringing the sweets/supplies & taking care of Zadie & Mike for his beautiful reading; Jon for making the trip from Milwaukee; Cassie & Mike for helping Friday afternoon; Mark & Misty for being here for everything; Kelly (flowers) & Melisa (DJ, etc) for everything!; Robyn, Zoe, Anna & Tony Risley for making the trip; Charlie & Katrina for driving in early saturday for golf; Heath, Michelle, Sydney for driving from Chicago & Sydney rocking her role as flower girl! & thanks again to Dr. Points who took time out to spend time with our family and officiate the ceremony. You guys are awesome! Tom & steph who traveled from texas & leo, ju & alexander from new york get the longest trek awards! & jason wilson gets the "can't wait to see you" award from the group (thanks for making the trip from memphis!). & misty cartwright from atlanta...we're still laughing about "brown chicken-brown cow"!
