I'll be honest, when they first told me what they wanted to do I was a touch unsure. Now they were willing to jump through enough hoops for me to be sure that they were serious about the marriage and I've always thought that the wedding ought to be however the bride and groom chose, but when they said they'd be dressed as pirates and fairies, well, that gave me a chance to see how much I really believed that. But fair enough -- it's their wedding, if they'll show me they're serious, I'll roll with it. And so they did, and so I did.
And it was awesome. Don't get me wrong, I think being able to join two individuals in Christian marriage is one of the greatest privileges around (2nd only to baptism, probably), but it's not necessarily something that I get all jacked up about. It's time and stress and being around people's families at, all too often, their worst. But this one? This was just fun. Check out the pics below, they're not the best but they're the best that I have.
And now, Mudd and Rachel, it's up to you two make your marriage as awesome as your wedding. God be with you, it can be done.
Note on colors -- although the free-agent signing of a bona-fide all-star IS worth keeping Flogging green, we're approaching the "other" all-star break, and the Phillies are in first. Here's to another parade this October, fellas!!!
