Fascinating Weekend
Many interesting things from last weekend.
Attended (or should I say, participated in) the most fascinating wedding of all time. Wendy and Gary's - both are very creative, Wendy works with S at the Minnesota Historical Society, and Gary is a corporate trainer by day, and plays base in a Springstreen tribute band by night. Highlights include - the wedding was held at the Progress Center on the MN State Fair grounds, complete with food on a stick, and goofy hats (the Gedney's Pickle Hat, and the Pig's Ears).
The "homily" was a series of readings from the Betty Crocker cookbook, 1950 edition. The service was interrupted by King Boreas who objected to the wedding because it was being held in the summer when everyone knew the couple first met at the Ice Palace at the Winter Carnival. The Vulcan person (king, god??) interrupted Boreas to argue the couple had actually met at the Fair. The two then put on several puppet shows with alternative stories about how the couple really met.
After the vows, Tim Sigler (vocals), Dan Chouinard (accordian), and Dick Duncan (washboard) performed Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash.
Dinner on a stick and entertainment provided by a battle of the teenage bands - two friends of the couple have children in bands so they set up on opposite corners of the for a showdown - it's funny to hear high schoolers play Free Bird and Smoke on the Water with a straight face.
Told S that I just wanted to go home, locate our wedding video, and throw the damn thing out. Gary and Wendy have redefined the marriage ceremony.
