Non-trad

Tom and Erin's wedding this past weekend was enjoyable. We had a lot of fun hanging out with friends and eating good food.

The wedding itself was very nontraditional. The ceremony was held in a Unitarian church and was over in about 30 minutes. The vows were written by the bride and groom and were funny in a cute way. They seemed to enjoy doing them.

The reception was unorganized although not necessarily in a bad way. No assigned seating meant we could choose to sit with whomever we prefered wherever we prefered. Except that we chose the head table (unmarked) and were promptly relegated to the corner. The food was family style serving which allowed for large portions and was excellent. The music was a playlist set up by Tom on his iPod. The dance floor was disappointingly small but the crowd was disappointingly not into dancing and vanished soon after dinner. We still managed to dance to many wonderful songs, ending with the epic "Fernando." Thanks Tom.

Also: awesome first dance.

It was a great time hanging out with Marty and Megan of course, but also Ross, Howie, Ben, Tom, and Britney. Also many thanks to Jay and Valerie for putting us up on their futon. I was waiting to post this until they sent us pictures but Jay is still trying to figure out how to make the magic box make drawing fly through space.

We then drove to Indiana where I played some Ultimate with the UIC guys. Many swilly hucks were had by all.
