We (Mrs. DTG and I) were honored to attend the wedding of our good friends, Chris & Whitney Dodge in the last couple weeks. Besides enjoying the spectacular fall weather and local amenities, we were pleased beyond measure to see not only old friends but meet new ones as well; a good time was had by all, to say the least. The reception dinner was superb; the cake topper was unique, and clearly stated what could have been the catch phrase for all of us who attended:
“I’ve got your back!”

We extend our best wishes for a happy marriage and life to Chris & Whitney!
That’s right, my like minded friends. We got hitched. Mr. Tactical and I, enjoyed many friends and family coming together for an amazing evening of food, fun, music, and cake, that ended in us being a Mr. and Mrs. Thank you so much Mr and Mrs DTG for that awesome post, and I am so glad that you both could make it to celebrate with us. It really meant the world to me and my Mr.
As anyone that has ever had a wedding before, can tell you that it’s one big cluster fuck of flowers, colors, favors, and a mass of decisions that matter to no one else but you, but damn it, those table decorations will be perfect. Basically you put yourself, your significant human, friends, and your parents through wedded bliss hell, for just a few hours of well planned lovitute.
I will tell you that we are very relieved that it’s over, but in all honesty, the day could not have been more perfect. Yes, things went wrong, but hey. The weather was amazing, my dress fit, and my tacti-husband was waiting for me at the end of that brick road (it wasn’t yellow, but home was still there regardless). So there you have it. After about a year of planning and panic, one week of wanting to vomit out of sheer stress, one day that breezed by quicker than I would have thought possible, and one week in the wonderful warm Florida weather (with an amazing room and food…and stuff), we’re back to reality, and stocking up for the impending doom…I mean, Election. Thank you to everyone that came (I know some of you read the blog) and we appreciate everyone that could make it out, and understand for those of you that could not. Love our Framily (friend/family).
WE’RE HITCHED BITCH!
WMD out for now 😉

I could tell both of you were happy.
My only objection to the seating arrangements is that me and the table guests would have had to shoot our way out. Or were we the “reserve.” 🙂

That whole room was the “QRF”! Between the .Mil and SWAT, I knew you guys had it “Overwatch”.
A very sincere and huge congratulations to you both. Here’s wishing you many happy years together.
Thank you
Congratulations to you both,may you have many happy anniversaries.
Plus 1,000 on the ‘cake topper’-bet whoever made the cake never made a wedding cake with that one!
Thanks Buddy
Thank you etsy.com for that one. Figured it fit us the best 🙂
I showed the “cake topper” to a friend who’s a pastry chef-he loved it-said heifl would have made it out of chocolate and used some creative decoration for the top of the cake.
Congrats to you both,and here’s to a long and happy future together(I’m toasting with coffee).
On a side note,enjoy the pics of you smiling,I knew you could do it and would get caught one day!
Thanks
Brother – and sister – may God richly bless you both, and keep you safe. And may the smiles shown in the picture, remain with you always… from a gnarly ol’ bastard who’s been there and learned… remember this:
be kind to each other, and do not let the sun set on your anger. You will disagree, you’re human… keep in mind that words can hurt, and; like bullets, cannot be recalled. Again, be blessed, and be good to each other.
(oh hell, what do I know…)

Thank you very much
Congratulations to you both! And I love the cake decoration.
Excellent!
