Our friends tied the knot back in Orlando on this day five years ago…it was on a Saturday then too! Awesome because we turned this wedding into a mini-vacation, I can’t remember why we didn’t go on a formal vacation anyway.
The weather in Central Florida was muggy but slightly warmer, nicer than when we left Austin. Warm enough to use the hotel’s pool. The flight sucked which is why I didn’t have to convince Somara too hard into having dinner at a nearby Black Angus. Actually, I had never heard of this place until the Patton Oswalt schtick.
Nancy and Jose had a nice ceremony. Contrary to what Christians believe, Atheists don’t spontaneously combust when entering churches…or temples, mosques and synagogues. The reception was quite a shindig. I think it was pretty large compared to past weddings, then again, I don’t take a census. All weddings were big compared to ours.
Now they live in Dallas, so much for escaping the hot, sticky weather.
Wish them well and congratulations.
We sent them an Alamo Drafthouse gift card to use when the new franchise in Dallas goes online next Spring. The traditional gift was supposed to be wood. I went with a syllogism (I think) to rationalize Alamo. Wood becomes pulp, pulp makes paper, paper is used to make movie tickets, movie tickets are working toward the 21st century!
