A Wedding in Baltimore
We had the very great pleasure of attending a wedding in Baltimore. Micah was a high school friend of DS, and though I haven't seen much of him, I've always had the impression that he and his family were, well, family. So you can imagine how happy we are to only be 1.5 hours from him now. This means a lot more now that the wedding has occurred, and he's no longer frantically preparing for it.
The cathedral where the wedding was held, and I do mean cathedral in the strictest sense of the word, was absolutely gorgeous. Having catholic family, but not being raised catholic myself, I did my best to keep DS and myself in check throughout the ceremony and not embarrass ourselves. At the reception I discovered I probably should have given all his friends a quick primer as they were confused, but no one did anything strange. All standing and sitting went as expected.
The reception was held on the top floor of the Admiral Fell Inn. There was an open bar. I can tell you I danced. A lot. Not necessarily on the dance floor. Apparently I felt the need to encourage everyone else to dance by whipping my head around a lot. My neck has never been so sore. It took 3 days to recover.
In all honesty, my night should have ended with the reception, but instead we all headed over to the Greene Turtle to watch the South Carolina football game. Where there were more drinks. And my husband decided to enjoy the company of his long lost friends and let me be as I went back to the bar. *sigh* At some point I was handed a Jägerbomb... The next 36 hours were trying, let's put it that way.
For your enjoyment, here are a collection of photos of the beautiful church, and the parts of the ceremony DS and I managed to capture before things got too crazy. We can't wait until Micah and Anne start visiting.
