Andrew & Eric: Wedding #9

This Saturday we attended wedding/blessing ceremony number nine: Andrew & Eric's. It was AWESOME. Talk about the classiest, and yet least traditional, wedding celebration ever, followed by a truly fun and relaxing reception. A few tips, should you, too, want to replicate this classiest-ever-wedding experience:

1. Marry a gay guy. Be a gay guy yourself. Make sure both you and your partner have an impeccable sense of style, which will be reflected in the dress of the entire wedding party, and decorations.
2. Dress everyone in black & white, with red flowers: gorgeous.
3. Include music in your ceremony. In particular, have about 30 of your friends, mostly recent alums from Luther College's Nordic Choir, form a choir specifically for your wedding. Have Tim & Sandra Peter (conductors) from Luther College come to direct this choir of angelic voices. And, just for kicks, throw in a brass quintet as well.
4. At your reception, have a board game or trivia game on each table, along with crayons and paper tablecloths to draw on. An open bar helps, as well as delicious appetizers and dessert for everyone to snack on as they mingle.

So, this was a particularly fun wedding for us. Andy read a lesson, and Jess just sat and basked in the glory (literally) of the choir and quintet. Here are a couple pics, as well:
