Favorite Parts of the Wedding

1. James introduced himself to our booze purveyor as “the Bride”.


2. I had to push my glasses up in the middle of the ceremony - and once during the first dance.


3. My cousin-in-law explaining ampersands to his wife and being accused by her that he was playing a joke (English is her second language).


4. Everyone laughed at the “Cantina Song” being our recessional music.


5. My grandmother liked the Buddhist vows.


6. Our after party was in the same spot as another wedding’s after-party and the bride did not seem amused and blew me off.


7. Wedding dress at the gay bar.


8. When James changed our FB status he announced it to the crowd, interrupting a song, because “it’s not real until it’s on the internet”.


9. Both the photographer and I were bummed he did this without us.


10. Fun photo shoot of a wedding fight wherein I’m hitting James with my bouquet and my fist.


11. The bartender - she was sweet, fun, and poured the drinks heavily.


12. Our breakfast was brought to us on a rolling trolley and Eggs Benedict were cheaper (and tastier) than the hotel’s version of a Slam thing from Denny’s.


13. The third day of being married was spent eating another breakfast, which was cheaper, and then going to the Aquarium. “Loaves and Fishes” I dubbed it.


14. My hairstyle looked like Leia - unintentionally.


15. All of that stuff about marrying my best friend and being surrounded by my favorite people, yada yada.
