Friends Get Hitched
Some people thought it would never happen, but my friends Ed and
Kristin got married this past weekend. I have to say it was quite the
lovely ceremony, officiated by another good friend, Eric. Seemed like
this wedding was perfect for these kids. Set at a bed and breakfast in
Tryon, NC, overlooking the multi-colored leaves of the NC
mountains, with a small group of close friends and family, the event
was full of charm. Not to mention the fact that Abby and I had a
ball. We are lucky to have friends like Ed and Kristin, so seeing them
get hitched was quite a treat.
Prior to the event, six of us went to the US National Whitewater Center
near Charlotte for some man-made river action. Joined by a guide, we
attacked the raging river resulting in some severe wetness and a lot
fun. Highly recommended if you are ever in that area of NC. However,
I would tend to think that warmer weather would have been better suited
for this activity.
Things I learned this weekend:
-Our first weekend away from Myra Grace was not bad at all
-Ed looked long and gangly in childhood pictures (as opposed to now?)
-A.A. Milne says pooh a lot.
-Cigar smoking should be left to the experts
-Always remember to pack your cooler or else you have to buy a new one (has happened twice now)
