While some people stayed here at Union College and spent some quality time on with their beds, some of us decided to drive 20 hours to Pennsylvania for a wedding. We left Wednesday night. Half an hour into the trip, Tony was pulled over for going "about 7 or 8 over." Fortunately, he was able to talk his way out of it, with lines like, "Well, you can't catch all the fish in the pond." The rest of the trip went pretty smoothly though. Well, except for the time that Jon stalled the car in the gas station, or the time he stalled it at the stoplight, or the time he stalled it at the tollboth . . .
We drove straight through the night, and the next afternoon decided not to stop until we got to Lance's house. Then we decided to stop at Ellen's place for the night. Then we decided not to stop at Ellen's. Then we actually talked to Ellen and decided we weren't going to Lance's we were going to Ellen's.
We spent the night there, watched Robots, and went 4-wheeling. Some of us got our shoe stolen and buried by Max, while others of us endured bovine feces and Amish farmers.
The rest of the time, we stayed at Lance's, thanks to his and his parents' generosity. It was nice to see Lance and Sophie for a bit, though things were kind of busy. The outdoor wedding was, of course beautiful, and the reception was exceptional. Of course, I may be prejudiced because all the bridesmaids were in purple (or lavender, if you must). It was a pretty small wedding which was nice, and I felt very privileged to be on the shortlist. Still, the weekend was ideal, and kind of what I think a wedding weekend should be. Friends and family gathered all around to show their support and just be with the couple.
A dance or two, some great cheesecake, several rewinds, and 40 hours of driving later and it's back to class again . . . for now.
