jennythereaderTom's & my delayed wedding party was today, and in spite of the weather it went really well. The pavilion was big enough that no one felt trapped or overcrowded (as far as I know).
Dad, Tom's brother Jim, and our friend Mark all took turns manning the grill. We were a little paranoid about having enough food, so Tom & I bought huge quantities of the things we were providing (burgers, hot dogs, bread & buns, chips, and soda). In the end, between what we bought and what folks contributed for the potluck, we probably could have fed a group twice the size. We had tons of leftover bread, soda, and meat and ended up sending a lot of it home with people.
We had music for most of the day, mostly fun songs that people can sing along to. We did three SCA dances (Hole in the Wall, Female Sailor, and Korabushka(sp?)), and even succeeded in dragging some of the non-SCA guests in to the dancing.
People gave us some beautiful & generous gifts, and we will be sending out thank you notes when we get back from DC. My brothers Bobby and Jon get extra bonus points for the foot massager. Thanks guys!
Oh! I figured out why my feet were hurting so much: I wasn't wearing the shoes I had thought I was. I had meant to wear my new sneakers, but when we got home and I took my shoes off I looked down and realized that I was wearing my work shoes. Nice shoes, and comfortable enough for office work, but not suited to standing almost all day on a hard concrete floor. I must have been pretty distracted this morning when we were heading out.
