Bit of confusion about whether breakfast came with our room or not: I thought it did, the front desk didn’t. Oh, well. The Houston and DC contingents went shopping, but I stayed in the room and tried to reload on sleep. Got to the reception at 5 (the ceremony itself was family-only), and started visiting with everyone. There was eating and dancing and ululating and everyone was happy, as a wedding should be. Greg dared me to get drunk, and, for some reason, I agreed, so Greg started ordering. It was an open bar, and over the course of the evening the bartender was quite generous with the Jack in my 4 Jacks and Cokes (probably closer to 6 or 7), followed by Glenlivet, and finally ending with 2 Long Island Iced Teas. So, for only the second time in my life, I got smashed. Unfortunately, I didn’t bring my camera to the reception to document the debauchery, but there is video evidence that I’m awaiting. Portions of the alcohol removed themselves voluntarily from my system shortly when I went to the restroom before going back to the hotel, and some more decided that the trash can Melissa placed at my disposal would be a more appropriate destination. Big thanks to Melissa, Greg, and Gil for tending to me in my reduced state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
