10:30AM<\/strong>: Welcome to DC! Kristian and I got in late last night and are now enjoying tea\/coffee and toast while we wait for our host to get back. Jenn(ie)’s wedding is in five and a half hours.<\/p>\n

A family friend was nice enough to put us up for the weekend. He had plans last night, but still made us feel totally welcome.<\/p>\n

Witness:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There were two cupcakes, but we ate one as a midnight snack.<\/p>\n

Once again, a trip to see Jenn(ie) went ridiculously well. Our flight was a breeze, we got beverage service AND pretzels and our luggage was waiting for us when we got to the carousel. Note to self: never fly anywher again, unless it’s to see Jenn(ie).<\/p>\n

Riding the Metro last night was an interesting experience, to say the least, because everyone was in costume. There were some people that I hoped<\/em> were in costume… Like the woman in the tinfoil hat and the woman in the green velvet cloak. Neither of them looked particularly celebratory, so, ummm, yikes.<\/p>\n

11:00AM<\/strong> Jenn(ie) is still answering emails. I just crowned her Queen Dork. Long may she reign.<\/p>\n

12:30PM<\/strong>: I bought new shoes for the wedding and they are tall. Very tall. Wish me luck in not breaking an ankle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2:00PM<\/strong>: Dan dropped us off in Georgetown and we’re getting brunch. I ordered a mimosa. Is it rude to drink before a wedding? I think the OJ makes it socially acceptable. Our waiter is all kinds of awkward. He just took our our order and said, “Ok I’ll see you guys later.”<\/p>\n

There are some out of control kids at the next table over. Their moms are drinking cosmos. If I had kids like that I too would be drinking heavily.<\/p>\n

Kristian just pointed out that adult beverages + catholic mass = oh lordy lord please don’t let us fall asleep. My happiness and excitement for Jenn(ie) will keep me alert.<\/p>\n

I’m pretty sure that brunch is supposed to take more than twenty minutes. I guess we were hungry or something. This would be a lot more enjoyable if I wasn’t wearing foundation garments. And if those kids would shut up.<\/p>\n

4:00PM<\/strong>: The wedding was beautiful. Jenn(ie) looks fantastic. Good call on the waterproof mascara.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4:20PM<\/strong>: We’re on the shuttle bus to the reception. I’m watching two people who don’t know each other and who are now sharing a seat flirt with each other. It’s kindof hilarious. I so do not miss attending weddings solo.<\/p>\n

7:00PM<\/strong>: This whole live updating thing got to be too much work. But I have to brag about the fact that I just got Jenn(ie) with my camera flash during her first dance. Totally cracked her up. I rule.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
