I spent Friday night watching movies and sort of moderately cleaning around the house. Nothing exciting. Saturday was mostly errands in the morning and early afternoon, including finally getting a haircut. (Which isn't a very good haircut.) And then I drove to Madison and went to Liz and Zig's wedding.
I arrived about quarter to five (the wedding was to start at 5:00 PM). I spent a few minutes looking around at all the people who I usually see dressed in funny clothes, who were almost all wearing suits and dresses and ties and shades of formal and nearly-formal attire. Lots and lots of people were there, and I said hi to a few before we all trooped in and sat down.
The church was pretty neat, though very warm. The groom was handsome, the bride was pretty, nobody tripped or fell down; everything was as it should be. And the vows included some of what Laura and I said at our wedding(s), thanks to Rusty. The closing song was 'Storybook Love' by Mark Knopfler, as performed by Matteo (who probably has a real name), which was a perfect choice.
After the ceremony I waited to go through the receiving line and then followed some other cars to the reception. Which was also warm, but not as much as the wedding itself. And we could get up and stand on the porch, which helped. I hung out, had dinner, and generally relaxed; talked to many folks, and left not long after the cutting of the cake.
Sunday morning I ran some more errands and settled in at home around 2:30 to spend the rest of the day doing small hand-type projects in front of the tv waiting for my wife and son to get home. They arrived around 6, and we had Georgie Porgies for dinner while we watched Pink Panther 2. Ben, who hadn't had enough excitement for the day, joined his friend Mike at Summerfest, where they stayed until the wee hours. Laura and I, as a contrast, went to bed at a decent hour.
Tonight is D&D. We have no plans for the rest of the week (except fighting on Thursday), though we have to do some WW planning now that the wedding's done.
