Current Mood: Chillin

If you followed the sporadic Tweets this weekend, you’d gather that Char and I attended the wedding of a couple of friends.  The day was perfect, the locale was perfect, and there was free booze at the reception.  I couldn’t find a fault.

Since I picked a holiday (albeit an odd one) to mark the occasion of our wedding, one thought that crossed my mind this weekend was the question of how many couples are actually married on holiday weekends and if that number outweighs any other weekends of the year.   While the data might be interesting, it doesn’t seem that any such statistics are easily available, so I’ll be left to wonder.

As is to be expected, it was a wonderful day for the bride and groom, who are rather enamored with each other (as should be expected).  My bro gave a kick-ass speech.  I was pretty proud of him for finding the words he did, completely on-the-spot.  I think if he bothered, he could be a hell of a writer.

As for the rest of the weekend, we spent a night at a hotel in the nearest half-sized town to the wedding, ate breakfast at some Greek joint, and then headed to my parents for some much needed R&R away from the rat race that is GR.

Pictures from this weekend will be found in the Gallery in the next couple of nights (I have to get them off the laptop).
