The Sound of Settling
K and B's wedding went very well. Click here for some pictures (not including ones of the ceremony)
An overview: Thursday M and I drove down to V,WA to meet up with K and help her do whatever needed to be done (which was very little) and just hang out.
I ate three times that day, not including breakfast and lunch - once at a surprise burger joint called Gorilla Grill hiding in the corner of a quickie mart (a delicious cheeseburger awaited me), another time at a taqueria that had all the various types of tacos for only $1.5o and was a sit-down place, not a bus, and then a third time at a tapas restaurant in the Hawthorne district.
Then the boys split off and B commenced his bachelor party night which was fairly unplanned, so no time to book a stripper. Us chicas went home to the apartment to tsismis and groom.
Friday brought the birth of Bridezilla (rowr!) pronounced with a Japanese "L". K was actually the least scary bride ever, so it was mostly a joke that was funny to us, but probably not anyone else. Lunch was at Billygans and then rehearsal dinner was at a tea house in La Center. They had crazy good mashed potatoes and tasty tilapia as well as good cheddar on toothpicks and fresh strawberries. Also it was their first event of this sort and went very well, despite the fact that we couldn't see half of the people there, but that's okay because we were busy making phone calls at the kids table. (btw, K's fabulous hair that night was my doing. I knew I did okay when B first saw her and made that funny cat sound boys make when they like girls. rrrrrawr!)
Nighttime was very chill. Most of the wedding party just hung out at the bride and groom's apartment until they were both too tuckered out and fell asleep on us. We informally answered some trivial pursuit and watched an episode of Full House, complete with Bill and Ted look-alikes (Stephanie learned that older boys that drive fast cars can be dangerous!)
Morning time I woke up with a bad allergy attack. Apparently my nose was whistling all night, keeping J up. My air mattress deflated once again. I wonder if I have warranty on that. I walked to the store to get some allergy drugs and then returned to the store with B to keep him company while he bought us breakfast. Hair salon, then back to the apt, then off to the wedding site. I have some pictures but tried to leave it to the professional, so I don't have much to offer. The ceremony itself was just the right amount of time and just the right amount of sentiment. B surprised K by changing some of his vows - a real tear jerker. K's sister K sang and then they exchanged rings.
Reception time went well because the dj was more of an emcee than a dj, which worked out okay in this instance. He kept the room and mood up and made sure to space out events evenly. B tossed a grey argyle sock instead of a garter and most people donated twice to dance with both bride and groom for the money dance.
The night ended with a sparkler walkway for the bride and groom to follow to their car, which K drove away like the good woman she is.
Good stuff. Megan's totally next.
