Congrats to Greg & Susan Nedrow

Rodney and I were fortunate enough on Saturday to be able to attend the wedding reception/party of our good friends, Greg and Susan, over in Wellston, Oklahoma. I have known Greg since 1970 and Rodney has known him a few years longer than that. We met Susan last year when they came out and spent a weekend with us. Susan was perfect and fit right into the old gang. Greg owns and runs a very successful print shop and Susan, like Rodney, is a CPA. So we all have a great deal in common. We also had the opportunity to meet the wives of a couple other people we have known since High School, Ray and Paul, and to plan a get-together some time this summer. This was a great party that started at 3 in the afternoon and went into the night. Catered meal, beautiful wedding cake, lots of interesting people and live music. Fort Worth musician, Danny Robinson, was awesome, and he played a wide variety of music. I greatly enjoyed listening to him and will be adding some pics to my gaylasgarden website. He played sometimes by himself and sometimes accompanied by others. Rodney got to jam with the other musicians and I even went up and did a song with them. But the day was really about Greg and Susan and it was a perfect day all around. It is really a wonderful feeling to watch two people so much in love. I think they are absolutely perfect for each other! They make each other happy - and that's what really matters. I believe this is an ideal marriage that will last forever.

I was most amazed with Greg's son, Terrell Nedrow - remember that name. This guy is young and already an amazing musician. I think you will be hearing more about him in the future. He has natural talent - which is rare, and is very comfortable on stage and interacts really well with the audience. He has a quick wit and a huge repertoire of songs already. Excellent guitarist and perfect lead singer to front a really good band. I predict he will go far in the music industry. I am hoping to help him out with this endeavor. He has the talent....he just needs a break! As I told him - we have to MAKE things happen. "Luck is preparation when it meets opportunity."

Thank you Gayla for sharing the news of our marriage with the world. We had a wonderful day! Although our wedding ceremony was private, we still wanted to celebrate with our friends and families. And celebrate we did!! Big thanks go out to both of our Mom's for all the help they gave us, and to Tina for working all night to keep the place cleaned up - the next morning we could barely tell there had been a party of 50 people. Also to Vickie for delivering the beautiful wedding cake (what a brave soul). Terrell and Danny - big thanks to you for leading the entertainment long into the night - you were both fantastic!

For those of you who weren't able to make the party, don't worry - we'll celebrate again when we get to see you.

Somedays I still pinch myself to be sure that this is not a dream. I've never met someone that I connect with on so many levels. I've never been happier than I am with Greg by my side. -- Susan

Your party was a blast! What a great way to celebrate your marriage to Greg too! I am so happy he found you Susan. It was also great getting to meet your mom and Greg's mom and so many of your friends. We need to get together much more often!
