Waiting for the entrance of Kheayali & Thomas at the reception hall. I tried to get the names correct of most of the people at the reception and throughout the event, but some were just a bridge too far.

For Thomas' rap song, he had his kids doing the refrain. This Rap Song that Thomas did received a standing ovation and was, without a doubt, unbelievably good!!! There is an embedded video after these pictures. With my limited abilities, I could not control when the video starts, so when you come to the video, I would recommend you restart the video and watch it to the end.
Kheayali, obviously loves it
She couldn't stay in her seat any more, she had to go and hug him
Isn't everything worth it when you see the smile on her lips, the hug and the adoring look on Thomas' face. Priceless!!
A good time to link to the speeches click here
What a song, what a couple. They are in love!!!
