Saturday night, a really good friend of mine got married. It was a beautiful wedding (It’a been so long since we’ve been to one that I forgot that weddings always make me cry!). It was also a metric shit ton of fun.
I mean, it was gonna be fun on principle, just because a certain little someone had a sleepover with her auntie and uncle. Which meant that Kristian and I got a hotel room near the wedding venue. Which meant a) adult beverages and 2) sleeping past 7am.
(That certain little someone had a pretty good time herself.)
My friend and her husband (who is also a friend) met when we all worked together. Which meant that the wedding up ended up being a mini-reunion for a bunch of us. None of us is in that department anymore, and we were all really close when we worked together, so it was definitely bitter sweet to get together.
(Photos shamelessly stolen from another friend’s FB page.)
Moving on was great for my career, I don’t regret it for a minute. But, damn, I miss those guys sometimes.
(Because, yeah, IT Department. It was like 90% guys).
(Kristian and I met when we worked in that same department, so you know our friends’ marriage got a good start!)
I didn’t take a single picture (whoops!), but rest assured it was a beautiful wedding. Our friend Scott Langley was their photographer, so I’m sure there will be some awesome photos eventually.
Also, as was befitting a wedding of two nerds who got married on Pi Day, it was awesomely nerdy. Like, the totally awesome kind of nerdy. There was a Mario Kart tournament. And board games. I think that might have been the most fun Kristian has had at a wedding in a very long time. So many mutual friends to hang out with. So much stuff to do. So much me not begging him to dance with me.

They had an achievement card to get you to partake in all the wedding had to offer. I unlocked all of my achievements at once by makings request of the DJ, to sing karaoke, while drinking the wedding cocktail, eating a piece of cake, introducing myself to the dads, and having my picture taken with the maid of honor. What song did I sing? Total Eclipse of the Heart. The Wedding Crashers version. Natch.
(I might need to retire that one from my karaoke repertoire, because I’m pretty sure that it can’t get any better than that.)
(I had the full support of the bride for that one.)
I danced all night. Allllll night. Like, I hit 19 thousand steps on my Garmin Vivofit, danced all night. They ended the evening with the Weird Al Polka Face medley. Epic.
I think we need to get out more. That wedding was awesome.
