Today, a Wedding.
Yes, peeps. Today marks the day that the offspring (in this case, a daughter) of two of the Usual Suspects (Captain Arthur and the “Good Sisterâ€) is getting married. This, of course, means that all the Usual Suspects will all be at one place at the same time. Perhaps we should hire security.
In any event, it promises to be quite the shindig, fueled by an adult beverage or two.
But, wait! There’s more!
The day after the most recent marriage of a Usual Suspects’ offspring (in that case a son), the aunt and uncle of the groom (the “Good Sister†and Captain Arthur) hosted a “breakfast†in honor of the lucky couple. I put the word “breakfast†in quotes, because that it was it was supposed to be. The plan was that we would all gather for a nice breakfast spread and maybe even enjoy a Bloody Mary or a Mimosa and then go home to take it easy. However, in true Usual Suspects fashion, the “breakfast†lasted damned near twelve hours, with a couple gallons of vodka and damned near a case of champagne having been consumed.
So, not surprisingly, after raising hell tonight, we will all gather tomorrow at the home of Ken, my bodyguard, and the Deckmistress (the uncle and aunt of the bride) for yet another “breakfast.†This one may even involve some guitar pickin’. (The groom plays.)
You may not hear from me for a few days.
God give them joy!
We’ll be here when ya get back. I’d ask you to post pictures, but… well, er, no.
:o)

Status update on Mr. Parkway:
I saw Mr. & Mrs. Parkway (at the cocktail hour) after I finished the ceremony.
Just to let you know so no one worries: He was standing up and as of yet had no guitar in his hands.

Damn shame there was no guitar, but I’m betting everyone had (or is having) a blast.
Congratulations to the new bride and groom – may they have many happy years together!

Wow, Hairboy…you must be breaking wind, I mean sucking wind (whatever it’s called), pretty badly.
Will a rescue and recovery team be needed? Just the thought of “gallons” of vodka, and, well…sometimes pacing yourself & moderation are the key [/hypocrite].
Mazel tov to the happy couple. Will you play guitar at my wedding one day?
