The wedding went wonderful. Even though I absolutely hate that kind of attention on me (just look at any blog written on July 26th) I got through it with no nervousness. I guess the most awkward thing was having to hug and kiss people I didn't know. I met 120 people, I remember 50 of them.
Even though there was some shadiness with the staff, the ceremony looked great, the bridal party looked better, and then of course the bride looked the best.
The food was great, the drinks were sub-par until we bothered the bartenders, and the music was exactly what we asked for... sorta.
All in all though, it was fun. I loved hanging out with everyone again and smoking cigars with just about every man on the premise. (And a few ladies) I actually danced and once enough shots were in me tried to bust open a pirate pinata. (It took four tries and I almost cracked my head open on the flower bed)
Thanks to Zak, Eric, Cory, and Matt for not screwing up and looking damn good in those tuxes. I would drive to any city in Missouri to be in any of your weddings. (Probably Kentucky too)
Thanks to Beth, Beth II, Mary, and Lacy for looking oh so hot in those dresses.
Cory and Matt for pulling off two very obviously impromtu speeches. They were hilarious.
Thanks to the parents to pulling this thing off.
Allan and Becca for flying across the country for this. I wish we got to hang out more, but Sallie wants to come to Salt Lake someday. I think I sold her on the brine flies.
Zak and Lindsay for traveling across several boring parts of the country. It was great to see you again.
Amanda for getting out of Mississippi and seeing me for the first time since October.
Everyone that used up their Labor Day weekend to drive to Cape. It was the most fun I've ever had at a wedding.
The guy that drove by in the alleyway blaring Nickleback during our ceremony. Its just not love without Chad Kroger.
Our drunken D.J. that taught us that you can be 45 and still do the same job you did in highschool.
No one had a hangover afterwords... everyone had allergies. Go figure.

Any time you want to come, we are happy to have you. You may want to avoid February. Chances are good that month will be hectic. But you can come anytime before or after if you want to meet the prodigy. I hear the brine flies are particular rank in July.
This is the "word" I had to type to verify that I am indeed human: qbasbqfo. Why does that look like some kind of racial slur to me?
