What I learned at JL2’s wedding

2. If someone forgets to unlock the doors to let the processional exit, make sure you have good ushers who are willing to scale walls and jump over bushes to open the doors from the inside.
3. Do not let your step-father talk to the bag-piper prior to the ceremony.
4. Be sure to seat the immature people together. They’ll have much more fun that way.
5. If you have candles at the tables, make sure you leave a book of matches for candles that go out. Some guests might take matters into their own hands…
6. Don’t invite people who have known you a long time. They have a few too many stories…
7. Leave embarrassing pictures of the groom around. People will sign them and leave happy notes.
8. Hotel, ceremony, and reception in the same building — the drinking never stops. Ingenious!
9. Lotto tickets make for awesome wedding favors. (Ian won $10!)
10. Every wedding must have the electric slide. It’s just not a real wedding otherwise.
It was a fun wedding. Got to see some people I haven’t seen in a while. (Namely, the bride and groom.) I finally met JL2’s father. I’ve only known JL2 12 years… I don’t know when I would have had the opportunity to meet him. Caught up with Roy and his girl. Hung out with the girl, mostly, while Roy was off doing groomsmanly stuff. And that’s about it. Lots of eating, drinking, and dancing.
Oh and the cake! One of the cake layers was red velvet cake. It was fantastic. Kudos to whoever chose that layer of the cake. The other layers were good, but just completely over-shadowed by the red velvet. Yes, Ian and I tried all the layers. :P
