wedding crashers...

i know i'm going a bit out of order given all the miami stuff i need to update with, but since this is my blog i'm doing it my way (wow i sound like burger king. anyway...)

here are some pics from matt's wedding from this past weekend. i have known matt since 6th grade and he's probably one of my oldest friends that i still keep in touch with (which is easy to do since we went to the same jr. high, high school, undergrad, and now grad school). in the pics are matt, myself, and two other friends (john and jeremy), a group which has been close friends since jr. high. pretty crazy that three of us (john lives in indianapolis) live right here in the A2 area.

anyway, the wedding was a lot of fun and probably one of the most elaborate that i have ever been to, and as of the past several years i have been to quite a few (and that excludes the many i attended that my dad performed over the past many years). too bad i was really wiped out from the miami drive on friday or i would have been able to eat more at the FEAST we had at an italian restaurant for the rehearsal dinner. as usual, jeremy and i were running late leaving MI, but luckily he was able to get my civic up to about 100 mph to get us there pretty close to on time.

ok well more talk later, here are the pics (i didnt take as many myself, but i'll probably add ones that others have taken at a later time). this was a great time for sure, and we were happy to be a part of detrow's (matt) big day.

oh yeah, as you will see, this was a jewish wedding since amy and (recently) matt are jewish. i've been in several weddings, but this was my first jewish wedding and it was quite interesting to be part of some of their traditions. and yes, we did that dance around in a circle dance, picked matt (and other family members) up in chairs and carried them around, and of course wore yarmulkas! <:><
no flash = blurriness in low light, but this one has kind of an abstract quality to it; this is matt and amy signing a document which is an important part of the jewish tradition.

the four friends: me, jeremy, john, matt. jeremy and i were both groomsmen in the wedding.

john, jeremy and i were able to sit back and make comments (as usual) at the reception; and no, ALL those drinks at the table were not ours (that wasnt even our table)!

jeremy and i found it necessary to take photographs of the photographers.

in my ongoing conspiracy to take you down from golden child status...i think i may finally have a plan.
i will tell mom and dad that you converted, and are now jewish. i have the pics to prove it! muhahaha. throwing in the religion card may be the card i've needed all these years.

yah, you can tell that i'm really tired. shooooot.
