it's an American wedding!

that is to say, i went to my friend Lauren's weddding yesterday evening and couldn't help feeling like Hugh Grant...

just a few things:

1. Jon and i being the "cutest gay couple" at the wedding with photographers taking lot's of couples photos of us

2. my friend Katie who i hadn't seen in 8 years with her new beau Jason Jesse...Jason Jesse the legendery 80's
Santa Cruz pro Skateboarder...he couldn't stay awake so he went to sleep in his car...anyway, you may remember one of his more famous decks, the Neptune God graphic (see also the Aztec Sun God graphic)...


4. Lauren's cousin from Orange County who kept asking me for cigarettes and as soon as we would get outside would start feeling me up...meanwhile she was doing the same thing to Jon...and then suddenly there was an exposed breast and i was like "this is an American wedding!"...

5. Jon and i realizing that if we were gay we would totally boyfriend each other...and then getting affirmative nods from the bride and groom...

6. post wedding rendevous at the Duck Club in Lafayette...tapas and cheese plates and good scotch with the bride and groom (staying in the upstairs hotel) and the bride's sister (who i wanted to kiss but didn't) and the bride's sister's frind Pi from Australia...

anyway, point of post is that before last night i'd never been to an American style wedding...only seen them in movies...last night seemed like a movie...Neruda Sonnet, non-priest officiating, 25 minute ceremony, crazy horny cousins, divorced parents, groping and irreverence, proffesional skateboarders, good food, being gay for the night, tapas, rock and roll dancing, sister crushing, politics and lot's of nap breaks in the car...

last night was really really fun...
