Ruhroh (weather again)

BIL's wedding is this afternoon. One of the GMs's flight was delayed, so I'm an emergency GM.

We're wearing black suits.

I'm thinking that we should be handing out free Big Gulps to anyone who shows up to the wedding.

Yikes! I hope you guys stay cool!

I hope there are a lot of areas with shade at the ceremony for you guys!

You'll survive! One flask alcohol, one flask water.

is an emergency GM absolutely necessary though? is this so the pictures are pretty with matching # of attendants? regardless...not my wedding, and not me in the black suit! i would've fought a little bit, though

The actual GM showed up, they didn't realize he was getting in at 11 am instead of pm lol. So I'm back to being camera man.

the wedding is a little award but everyone is having fun now that cake is served. It's SO GOOD, it's from this Japanese bakery in Tangle town that they like. The food was good too!

I like KMC's idea for staying hydrated

Lol. You gals are hilarious.

So, first let me say the good things, since this board is all puppies and rainbows:

• The cake was totally the best thing I've ever eaten. They had a chocolate cake and a lemon cake with blackberries & raspberries mixed in. I think I ate 4 slices of the lemon cake. I love Kelli, but if I get a birthday cake for W it's coming from Hiroki Desserts.
  
• The DJ was a really good DJ -- there was an awesome mashup of fun mashup of Madonna's "Vogue" and Duck Soup's "Barbra Streisand".
  
• They're both really into birds and the bird theme really worked.
  
• BIL's stepgranddad (it's ... complicated) prepared a really nice poem.

And now the side-eyes file. Maybe in the end there were only a few things.

• BIL's W wrote vows for both of them (??)
  
• Best man (BIL's brother) totally phoned in the toast.
  
• After that toast, another groomsman and W made "toasts" if by "toasts" you mean "3 minutes of nonstop mocking of the groom".
  
• No one from her side of the family prepared a toast.
  
• DJ was about the least exciting emcee ever and clearly didn't care about having a microphone & speaker setup good enough for people to hear her.
• Sign I am getting old: the DJ played songs that I would consider totally inappropriate for a wedding where there are little kids. I guess Usher/Ludacris/Lil' Jon's "Yeah!" is alright, but LMFAO's "Shots" is totally not kosher. I can't believe I'm writing this, as a kid I used to hate it when adults talked about what I could and couldn't listen to.

So, I dunno. Nothing as faux pas as that cash bar wedding from last week.


Last but not least, and nothing to be judgy about, from the blooper reel:

BIL: I, BIL, take you, W, to be my husband. ... I mean, husband annd wife. ... rest of vows
W: I, BIL ... I mean, I W, take you, BIL

oops!
