This weekend I had another wedding to attend, and this one was the polar opposite to Christine’s. My friend David, whom I’ve worked with now for 5 or 6 years, finally got married to his long-time partner, Tony. It was my first gay wedding, so I didn’t really know what expect. The ceremony was short, devoid of any religious nonsense, and focused on the two people involved. While I’ve been to my share of weddings, and seen a lot of happy people devoting their lives to each other, I have rarely seen two people look at each other the way David and Tony did, with such obvious love for each other. It was pretty special.

This was a relatively good sized bash – held at Bridges restaurant, (thankfully) stumbling distance from my home. There were a fair number of friends in attendance, and it was a big party that went well into the night. Which almost caused a major disaster for my trip to Atlanta the next morning…
