The Bishop's Dinner for The Cathedral of the Madeleine



Marshall & I got the opportunity to go to a galla for the Catholic Church this Saturday. Since he is the new guy at a Catholic school they extended him the invitation. It was $1,500 for a table (luckily his school flipped the bill ;o)) It was an experience. When Marshall asked what the dress code was the principle of his school told him to wear the nicest thing he owned because there were going to be furs and diamonds and she was not joking! When we got to the hotel security was EVERYWHERE! Apparently the gentleman that spoke was VERY high up in the church. It was really amazing. We walked out to have a little socialite in the garden with ushers wandering around with wine trays, just like you see in the movies!!! Then we went into a very elaborate, very large room in the hotel and listened to a talk while we ate an excellent dinner. After the speech there was a band and a dance floor and if I do say so myself, we cut some serious rug! It was a great experience. I wish we could have taken more pictures but I thought that may be a tad inappropriate ;o) So these were before we left. WOW-E we looked smokin'!!! (Sorry about the glare at the bottom... that's whfat happens when you take your own pictures with the timer i guess)
