july 16, 2005

a very special day. july 16. ginger rogers birthday...and, more importantly, corey feldman's birthday. the day "catcher in the rye" was published. the day apollo 11 was launched. all important events. but none as memorable as taryn and dan's wedding in san diego. it was a beautiful event. the ceremony was touching and heartfelt and the reception was a great time. i've got lots of pictures, but first, a few of my favorite memories from their wedding week...

- meeting all of the very cool mid-west people that i've heard about for years. shout outs to Tim, Matt, Jay, Sydney, Will, Andrea and all of the others. i only wish that that silly wedding hadn't gotten in the way of me chatting with you more.

- taking full advantage of the open bar at the rehearsal dinner and shocking sweet elaine with my antics.

- being ditched by dan (and matt) not once, but twice on friday night. ahh, the pq posse has never been treated so badly.

- arguing with great passion about movies at claim jumper and tgi friday's.

- watching helen get a little lost on her way to the bridesmaids' spots at the front of the church.

- stacy's, matt's, and mr. o's speeches at the reception. so perfect.

- hiro's d.j. announcements that had such feeling.

- poor poor dancing on the dance floor all night by myself, my new husband, and all of our many friends.

i had such a great time and now i feel like i really do have to go out to madison to visit taryn and dan. perhaps one day soon.... in the meantime, enjoy the pics.

The happy couple...can you see the glow over the internet?


This picture is here to merely highlight my "cheerleader" hair as many called it. The hair was a result of a very unfortunate hangover. I was left helpless and my mom curled and pulled and did god knows what. The result made me look like a 15 year old cheerleader but the bride should look a hell of a lot better than the bridesmaids anyways.


Aren't the men handsome? Even hidden behind green bamboo grass.


The PQ Posse cleans up good.


Listening to speeches...


A very unfortunate shot of the husband. Man, was he tearing up the dance floor...for better or worse.


Check out these two sexy dancers.


Did someone say "whip it"?
