The wedding went off without a hitch. It was a simple, charming ceremony followed by a fun reception. Here are a few pictures, the second of which includes Lee, a friend of Brad's who is probably one of the nicest guys I've ever met:
Before I got here, the only person I knew was Brad. But everyone in the family, wedding party, etc., was so nice, and they all made sure I was having a good time. After the reception, several of us went to a real, actual, genuine honky tonk bar called Mr. Norm's...that played serious country music...where people can still smoke...and I had to drink Bud Light, a beer I haven't tasted since high school. The kicker is that it was located in a strip mall. It's easy to make fun of, but damn, it was fun. Here's me and Jill, one of Kristy's bridesmaids, sitting at our table enjoying our Bud Lights.
One more funny story: now, I understand people from different regions of the country have accents. In particular, people from the South have southern accents. But nothing...NOTHING is as thick as the accent in Alabama. Case in point: Kristy's Mom's name is Dorris. Until a few moments ago, I thought her name was Darcy, and they just called her Darce for short. Think about it.
And so, in conclusion, the past few days in Alabama have been interesting and fun. In a way, it kinda reminded me of what it was like growing up in a small town. Special thanks to Brad for giving me the honor of being his best man. Congratulations and best wishes to you and Kristy.
