SUCCESS AND SMILES.

Well, I'd have to
say that the whole Wedding Thing went better than I could have imagined.
My parents put on a great spread for the rehearsal dinner the night
before and I really gotta thank them for that. It was awesome. As for
the wedding day, it was just about perfect. Everything clicked and I do
believe that all attendees had a good time (even the person who got wine
sloshed onto them) and everyone was nicely sauced. Thanks to everyone
that came. The weather was gorgeous, all the vendors did a great job, the ceremony was beautiful, the Thunder Stix were a big hit, the Hyatt staff was
outstanding, the food and booze were good, and most importantly, Beth
and I had a blast. After the ceremony, everything is kind of a blur (no,
not from the drinks), but the photographer took some great pictures at
the reception so that jogged my memory a bit. All in all, I'd have to give the
day an A+. Good times! Definitely.
And now...the marriage.
Let's do it.

NERVOUS?

HEY MON.

Surprisingly, I wasn't nervous at all for the wedding. Barney went
around afterwards and told everyone I was drunk at the ceremony, but I
really wasn't. Seriously. I was just amazingly happy. Right before the
ceremony I was greeting people and giving them big hugs and I was being
quite the big goofy grinning idiot. And at the ceremony, I didn't have
butterflies, I didn't have the weak-knees, and I wasn't even sweating
(despite being in the sun in a tux). Wow. They say that your wedding day
is supposed to be the happiest day in your life and I can honestly agree
with that.

Oh, yeah, the
honeymoon. We had a grand old time! Sandals was outstanding and I truly
dig The Bahamas. And I think
I consumed my weight in frozen drinks (each day, probably). We didn't do
very much besides sit by the pool, eat six times a day, drink at the
piano bar, and, uh, play checkers, but relaxation is what we were aiming
for and I think we accomplished that goal. We did get to pet the
dolphins on a boat trip and we also went golfing in the killer heat, but
beyond that we were just two slugs. Two very happy and relaxed slugs.
What a fantastic time.
OK, I think
that's enough superlatives for today.

We really raked in the presents
(thank you everyone), but I did have a small Wedding Present Accident: I was pretty excited about using
my new
microplane grater until I shaved off the tip of
my thumb.

TRASHED AND TORCHED.

MANATEE.

Well,
despite my best efforts, my nice friends paid me back for my prior
escapades at their weddings. You see, I was owed quite a bit for my
notorious penchant for trashing people's cars (plus one person's
hotel room suite) on their wedding day. Yep, I had it coming. Not only
did they get into my house and completely trash the place (paper
shreddings everywhere, furniture in the bathtubs, every light bulb
removed, etc), but they also
found my truck (by pure luck, though) and decorated that as well.
However, on the bright side, I duped Barney into thinking that I hid my
truck in the Dulles Airport economy lot. Apparently, on my wedding day
he drove around that humongous parking lot for quite awhile in a failed
attempt to locate my truck. Heh. That almost offsets the disaster at my
house.
