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. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

(That certain little someone had a pretty good time herself.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

(Photos shamelessly stolen from another friend’s FB page.)<\/p>\n

Moving on was great for my career, I don’t regret it for a minute. But, damn, I miss those guys sometimes. <\/p>\n

(Because, yeah, IT Department. It was like 90% guys).<\/p>\n

(Kristian and I met when we worked in that same department, so you know our friends’ marriage got a good start!)<\/p>\n

I didn’t take a single picture (whoops!), but rest assured it was a beautiful wedding. Our friend Scott Langley<\/a> was their photographer, so I’m sure there will be some awesome photos eventually. <\/p>\n

Also, as was befitting a wedding of two nerds who got married on Pi Day, it was  awesomely<\/i> nerdy. Like, the totally awesome<\/i> 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. <\/p>\n

\"\"?<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

(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.)<\/p>\n

(I had the full support of the bride for that one.)<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

I think we need to get out more. That wedding was awesome. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
