The Wedding

I was too exhausted last night to post, but as I've been mentioning, my Sister's wedding was yesterday. And if you're wondering why I'm posting this on a Sunday morning at 5:30 AM…I just awoke with a cramp and can't go back to sleep…blah.

The day started for me with breakfast with the groom/groomsmen at the bowling alley. They have really good French Toast apparently. Anyway, it turns out my aunt Terry is also waiting tables there now. She snuck up behind me and whacked me with a menu. Ow… After breakfast, back to my place for a bit so I could entertain my dad after he got kicked out of the house (the bride and bridesmaids were using it to get dressed.) We ended up playing a little Madden 07 on the Wii and then got all dressed and headed over to the church.

The ceremony was cool. I had to help usher people around. We had a bit of a problem to start off with since my entire family pretty much showed up at once, so we ended up having like 8,000 people sitting on the left hand side of the church and nobody on the right. There wasn't any restrictions as to bride/groom side at this one, but that's how it ended up working anyway. Thankfully more people showed up to even things out…

The notable thing that I can remember from the ceremony was when they kissed for the first time, my cousin Matthew yelled out "Ewwwww!!" That had everybody in the church laughing.

After the ceremony we went over to the town park for pictures…lots and lot of pictures. Standard stuff. Of course then we went over to the fire department and did some pictures with one of the fire trucks since the groom is a volunteer firefighter. Then we rode around in the limo for a bit and headed to the reception, which was also fun. The food was really good, especially the salad. I need to know what dressing they used on that. After that the other groomsman kept going out for "bathroom breaks" where "bathroom" really means "alcohol" and "break" is another word for "shots". I didn't participate since I didn't really want to get drunk.

Overall I had fun, despite the fact that it was really really hot in the Tux. It was cool seeing some of the people I knew from High School again after so many years.
