A traditional part of a Marine/Navy dress wedding is the tunnel of swords. After the newly married couple exits the tunnel, the final man swats the bride with the face of the sword. Dom's elder brother and Marine Joe got to swat Cristie as Dom suppresses a smile. |
The already large Dobson family expands yet again with the addition of Cristie.

The boys had a blast at the reception. Nicholas was a dance hazard for much of the night when he wasn't charming people at the tables. Alexander enjoyed the decadence of a party hat, flower garlands, glow necklaces, and lots of food. |  |

We saw Disney's Beauty and the Beast off Broadway. Nicholas was entertained enough to be subdued, but Alexander didn't make it to intermission before dozing off, here next to cousin Elizabeth. |  |

We spent one full day in New York, walking to Ground Zero, Battery Park, Chinatown, Little Italy, and Times Square. |  |
