Congratulations Paul and Nicole!

The wedding this weekend went very well. The groomsmen and bridesmaids listened very well and took very good directions. The one exception was the best man who was constantly drunk. I suppose he has some good qualities, but I sure didn't see them.

The bachelor's party was fun with boring parts in the middle. I must have inhaled more second-hand smoke that night than almost any other time in my life. The groom was plastered by the end of the night... so much so that he couldn't put together a sentence.

On Friday Marie and I went shopping. It was a useful, but expensive outing.

On Saturday, I took a little walk and sat in a park where I saw a deer. Then Mom and I went shopping while Marie got her hair done and such. When the time for the wedding rolled around the groomsmen did a bang-up job seating people. I marched the groomsmen in only to find out that someone had left their kid in the aisle! So we had to move them out of the way to get by. Nicole took her time showing up and then, once we were all up front waiting for her, she didn't come through the door! So there I am at the front with the groomsmen and the bridesmaids and about 75 people staring at us. It felt like we waited five minutes for her, but it was probably more like two or three.

FINALLY she comes through the door and everything beyond that went off with hardly a hitch.

Anyway, we generally had a nice time and things went pretty well. We went out with my friend Erin and her boyfriend Kris on Friday night. That was a lot of fun. I drank way too much though. I woke up at about 5 AM feeling like I had been in a gutter all night. All-in-all it was a nice little vacation.
