Today my old friend (and ex-sweetie) Beth got married to Kam's high-school friend Catie.<\/p>\n
The story of how they met is an entertaining one, but not one I can tell without indirectly revealing personal information like Beth's last name, so I'll leave it out for now. But I was pleased to have indirectly played a role in their getting to know each other, and I was pleased to be asked to join their wedding party.<\/p>\n
(This was only the second wedding I've attended this year--third if you count S&S's reception thingy that wasn't actually a wedding but played an equivalent social role. My friends aren't getting married as often as they were a few years ago.)<\/p>\n
The brief ceremony went smoothly as far as I could tell from my somewhat dazed position in the midst of it. It was outdoors, at the Temescal Beach House<\/a> in Oakland, overlooking Temescal Lake<\/a>. Both brides were lovely in white suits. We attendants wore black, plus matching rust-colored shirts and yellow calla lilies (I think?) for boutonnieres and corsages.<\/p>\n Bunches of friends were in attendance, but I didn't get to talk much with most of them, alas. I did get to chat some with the people at our table (half of whom read this journal--hi, y'all!), and with the other attendants.<\/p>\n I took a whole bunch of photos, though not, of course, during the ceremony.<\/p>\n I think I had more to say about all this, but it's late and I'm tired, so I think I'll sign off here.<\/p>\n Yay, Beth & Catie! Congratulations again!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today my old friend (and ex-sweetie) Beth got married to Kam’s high-school friend Catie.
