I have now officially been to 4 weddings and a funeral. The fourth was possibly the best I have been to. We left last Thursday and got to see Sam and Leah and mom and my dog along the way. We included: me, Rock, Mr. Rock, Mrs. Rock, Grandpa Rock, Brother Rock, Sister-in-Rock, and Germany. The wedding was really great because I got to meet tons of new people. Also I got to spend a bit more time with people I had only met briefly. Rock's cousin Cam was cool, and Jenn's (Rock's new sister-in-law) brother has to get a special mention because he stood outside for 3 hours to get an XBOX 360 for a wedding gift. And it wasn't even a core system! Sure, that doesn't have anything to do with me, but it's still cool. I ate at Denny's 3 breakfasts in a row. Original Grand Slam, ahh yeah.

The actual wedding was on Saturday. It was on an icerink at SilverStar Mountain in Vernon. It was there because that is where the proposal took place last year. My hands were cold. Why didn't I bring mittens? The reception/dinner was nice and had a hockey theme because Jason (groom, other brother to Rock) is a hockey fanatic. Some guy asked me if I knew someone in Hun City named Adelle, but I didn't. Do you? Some reports suggest I was became somewhat inebriated at some point. I had a good 8 or 9 drinks, mostly wine, does that count? Anyway, I was pretty talky and dancy, which was my goal. Better to be a bit goofy and outgoing than just sit there and not make a fool of yourself. I did the Elaine dance from Seinfeld and various other spastic things which amused me. The funny thing about dancing is that about 95% of the population (including me) can't do it, which makes me feel better. I don't think my comments in the wedding book made any sense. That's ok. There was supposed to be karaoke, but no one did it, and I didn't want to be the only person. But I was totally ready to bust out the Celine Dion! I did actually sing that at some point without a microphone. But I do that most days anyway.

Anyway, it was a very positive experience altogether, due in no small part to the generosity of Rock's parents, letting me ride in their van and stay in their hotel room etc. There are some more pictures here.

Completely unrelated: here is a video of celebrity Jeopardy with Will Ferrell. Here is another one. The funny.
