April Snow Showers

Derrik and Holly got hitched.  One more down, two to go.

Personally, I'd put fifty bucks on Nat being next.

But maybe JP will run off to Vegas with a waitress...I can never tell with that dude.

The wedding was a beautiful winter wedding.  In April.  Maybe not planned to be a white wedding, but wonderful all the same.

The wedding site was in a lodge up in the mountains around Salt Lake.  The actual lodge was up on a little hill, with a stone walkway down to the road.  After the reception all the guests lined the walkway with birdseed in hand.

One of the groomsmen told us a horrific story about birdseed and weddings.  At his wedding, the guests threw birdseed at him and his new wife.  Some birdseed went in his ear and wouldn't come out.  They went to Cabo for their honeymoon, but he suffered from a horrible ear pain the entire first half of the trip.  One day, they were sitting on the beach, relaxing, when suddenly "POP!".  His ear popped and a little pile of birdseed fell out of his ear and on to his shoulder.

Gross.

I'm still debating whether he made that up to see if anyone was gullible enough to believe him.

I was.  I'm always that anyone.

Either way, I'm now adding birdseed to things that scare me.

Ethan was not scared of the birdseed after the story.

Oddly enough, the story made him feel like he needed to eat the birdseed.  So he did.

If I have to hear "I'm on yellow" one more time...I might ninja William's face.

The guys all went to an Urban Warfare center to take a defensive handgun training course for the bachelor party on Thursday night.  They are the strangest guys ever.  The rest of the weekend, they all kept referring to their alertness levels in colors.

Someone kicked the coffee table, one of the guys swoops in to catch the glass of rum and coke before it spills all over the floor...

"Whoa dude, I was totally on the red right then!"

Driving through the snow storm to the rehearsal dinner "You're on yellow right now, aren't you!?"

We walk into a restaurant and I hear four guys mutter "head on a swivel" to each other as they scan the room.  Do you know how hard it is to sit six of the eight people you're with against a wall in a restaurant, because they can't have their backs to the door or window?

It's also unsafe for me to stand anywhere near a closed door now, especially in hotels with our friends, for fear that one of them is going to "take the room by force" and kick the door in.  Yes, that happened this weekend.  And yes, I almost died.

You know those eTrade commercials with the baby that talks in a grown up voice?  They get me every time.  Tonight I heard a new one, and it did not disappoint.

"You know the odds of winning are the same as being mauled by a polar bear and regular bear in the same day, right?"

Classic.
