Weekend was busy

I typed up a whole thing but deleted it because it became tedious to type, let alone read.

Highlights of the wedding weekend: delicious food, seeing many of my relatives, dancing, dog wrangling, the entire afterparty

Lowlights: staying up very late each night and waking up at 7am, a girlfriend of one of my brother's friends getting very drunk and being weirdly obsessed with my dad and then asking invasive questions about each of the family members

I'm still recovering from the absolute messing up of my sleep schedule. I was the only sober person at various points, so I drove S and L over to the hotel where we hung out after the wedding and then home, so sleep time that night was at 1am. They did ditch a lot of the traditional wedding nonsense like groomsmen and bridal party, the traditional dances, speeches, all that stuff, so the ceremony and reception were very streamlined and nice. Lots of socializing time plus the food was amazing. I got to take care of the dogs and walk one down the aisle and then take them home, which was a nice little break and I got back in time for the reception.

The afterparty was a lot more fun, some absolutely delicious BBQ and lots of sitting around chatting, then I played volleyball and then we all hung out by the bonfire. We cleaned up all the party stuff Sunday relatively quickly, which surprised me. My brother was up until 7am that morning and woke up extremely hungover around 2pm, which was about the time we had wrapped up cleaning up everything.

Yay, that's over!

(and you had more fun than not, from the sounds of it.)

I’m glad it was fun, particularly the after party. That’s where the main folks party for themselves, not the parents.
