Attended Lola & Jay's lovely and enjoyable wedding this afternoon. Lola danced up the aisle to \"Whatever Lola Wants<\/a>\" from Damn Yankees<\/cite>; her brother officiated, starting with a heartfelt and entertaining appreciation of the couple; great ceremony (I know weddings are a very solemn occasion for lots of people, and that's great too, but I'm always delighted when there's a sense of fun at a wedding); a bunch of cool people among the attendees.<\/p>\n

After the ceremony, there were several really nice toasts from family and friends, then a lunch\/reception, then dancing. I chatted with Ray E a bit (he's nearly seven! Time flies!) as he played with a decorative fountain in the restaurant courtyard; he explained to me that water is made up of tiny transparent birds, probably chickens.<\/p>\n

(I wore the new suit, but what got attention was my dress earring (the blue one that Mary Anne got me a few years back, matching my tie and pocket square); when Kam and I were at a cafe down the block before the wedding, I was standing in line and someone behind me said, \"That earring looks good on you.\" Because of the \"on you,\" I assumed it was someone I knew, so I turned to say hi, but found two strangers. I said thanks. They noticed it matched the tie, and one asked, \"Do you always match your ties?\" I had to explain that I don't normally wear a tie.)<\/p>\n

There were bubbles blown (I hadn't encountered this wedding tradition before a couple weeks ago, but I like it), and a cake-server in the shape of a high-heeled shoe, and all manner of niftiness.<\/p>\n

Anyway, good wedding, and the bride and groom looked happy through and through. Congratulations again!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
