Tonight was Brent's wedding. It was also the first time I'd ever met his wife, although I still doubt that she could pick me out of a crowd. Not that I can blame her, it was her wedding day, she doesn't need to remember people. The ceremony was very nice. It wasn't over-the-top or showy, it was very much about the two of them. There was a slideshow with pictures of them growing up, then when they were dating, then engaged (as evidenced by the showing off of the ring). I had flashbacks to Wedding Crashers during the reading from Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians, but you can't really avoid that when you choose that passage. In the (huge) wedding party were a guy who used to live two houses down, another I knew from high school, another from college, and a girl I went to middle and high school with (who happens to be Lee's distant cousin). I also knew a few attendees, including some who didn't put forth the effort to wear a jacket and wouldn't have worn a tie if their Mommy hadn't made them. I'm looking at you, Wellikoff. Both cakes were very good; I had to try both to be sure. It's hard to judge, seeing a couple together for the first time at their wedding, but they both seemed very happy and very much in love. I wish them all the best as they go forward in their new life together.
Another reason Ashley might not be able to pick me out of a crowd is that Brent didn't introduce me by name. Instead, he and Ashley walked over, and he introduced Lee and me as "Rocky and Bullwinkle." Lee mentioned a couple days ago that she refers to us as that. It led me to start putting the Bullwinkle quotes at the bottom of the page, which led to the other quotes. They didn't stay and talk long, they had more people to greet and talk to. I had talked to Brent a minute before the ceremony, then spoke again before I left, so they met their "talk to all the guests" quota with me, if no one else.
I have more of my day, but it can wait for another entry. I want to keep this one about the title characters. They better bring me something back from Hawaii. Maybe a hula girl, and not the kind that goes on the dashboard.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.
More tomorrow.

Don't feel bad about the introduction to Brent's wife, he didn't even introduce me to her at all.
You were in the wedding, I would think she could figure out who you were.
Also, good to see your family at the wedding.
