OK, the title is a bit deceiving.

I handled Ian and Natalie's wedding on March 14, 2009 and Ian's sister, Taciana, had her baby just a few days later.

I had been hired to entertain at Taciana, and her husband Dan's wedding a couple year's earlier, so I was looking forward to seeing them at the March event ... BUT Taciana was expecting so it was not possible for them to make it out from Chicago.

Through the power of a laptop and SKYPE, Taciana and Dan watched Ian get married to Natalie.

Later, Taciana gave a toast VIA SKYPE 'patched into" our awesome sound system. After her toast, I asked Taciana to stand up to show everyone her belly. Even though the laptop screen was small, friends and family could see the screen fill up with her belly and responded with cheers and applause.

A few days later, little Lauren came into the world a few week early and she is an angel. Take a look at her at 10 days old:



My congratulations go out to Dan and Taciana.

Many years of health and happiness!
