the wedding last night was so much fun. we met at randy’s house at 4 to carpool, and phil and i arrived at the same time so we walked up to the front door together.
me: “i’m so excited, it’s a wedding, hooray!”
phil: “see, this is the difference between men and women.”
me: “what?”
phil: “you’re going ‘ooh, wedding’ and i’m just wondering if there’s an open bar.”
i took a ton of pictures, but many of the shots in the reception hall didn’t turn out too well because the lighting was dim. but here are two good ones from the ceremony and just afterward:
buzz and ron moments after being married…
darby, buzz, ron, and jeremy. (jeremy was best man and darby was another groomsman.)
i had such a good time. it was a small wedding, with just their families and closest friends. it was great because all of us from houston know both ron and buzz really well, and we all know each other really well, so it was just like a fun party where we got to celebrate two of our friends finally get married. it was similar to leila’s wedding in that sense…just a fun time with some of our best friends. there was an open bar (as phil was pleased to see), and barbeque, and a dance floor, and we all just had a grand time. betsy caught the bouquet, edgar caught the garter, and we laughed because the two of them have been dating for almost two years now anyway.
i’ve known ron for almost six years now; he was a great friend through school, a great roommate for two summers here, and a great person all around. he’s always there when i need him. and i’ve finally gotten to know buzz better since she moved to houston after all their years of long-distance dating. so last night, it was just really good to see two people that i really like finally get married, and be so happy about it. it made me feel all warm and fuzzy.
when things finally wound down a little after 11, chris and phil and i finished the night with a trip to the waffle house. it just somehow seemed appropriate.
yay.
