The fantastic story of the wedding of Lisa and Aaron began on the evening of July 1, 2005 with a rehearsal of the wedding ceremony at the Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Baltimore. The big surprise of the night was Lisa and Aaron asking Rick to do a "reading" during their wedding. Rick who has not taken the pulpit before, was a little shocked but honored by the request. Assurances that "Crown Royal" was next on the agenda for the evening convinced him to complete the task without wasting too much time thinking about the situation he was now in. The rehearsal dinner was in "Little Italy" at Chiapparelli's restaurant. We had a very nice private room on the second floor where we could enjoy our meal, our friends, and soon to be new family members. After a few drinks we made a few toasts, told a few funny stories and contemplated what was to be the BIG wedding day.
