Sunday, August 8, 2010 (220/585)

Day after my brother's wedding:

Found in the morning lying next to the refrigerator.

Beach.

Help put things away. Take a swan dive into a sea of folding chairs that were still set up for the wedding from the night before. Why? Because I thought it would be funny. It was.

Go into town to pick up 8 pizzas with no shoes, and wearing my groomsman shirt, open. Got scolded by the clerk. Townie.

Drank with the wedding party until midnight, talking and eating pizza.

Hung out with this chick, drinking on her deck overlooking Lake Michigan from midnight to 6 A.M.

Jorge, my “+1” to the wedding, and my cousin Timmy C, at The Village Green (behind the Soda Bar) sweeping and helping to get things tidy for the reception.





First comes love . . .





. . . then comes marriage . . .





. . . then comes my niece awkwardly passed out and taking a nap for the big night of dancing ahead.





I wasn't aloud to wear my pink Ray-Bans for the wedding party photo shoot. So instead I had to wear these. I look like I'm ready for a night of date-rape at Sound Bar.
