Paola Town Square First Look

Andrew never lets a night go by without a big show and his wedding was no exception. Since Andrew was an Army ranger, he had many other ranger and Special Forces friends at the wedding. “All of a sudden, the DJ calls ‘all unarmed men’ to the dance floor to catch the garter,” Alexis says. “I thought that was weird, but sat down on a chair on the dance floor. Then, out of nowhere, Andrew and four other guys come storming in with airsoft guns. They did a standard room clearing like they would do in the military. They even had a firecracker for when they acted like they were knocking down a door!” Andrew acted like Alexis’s dress was a potential bomb and they were unarming it. “It sounds silly but everyone loved it and thought it was hysterical,” Alexis says.
