*I* got to go to a wedding last Saturday.

It was the wedding of these two bloggers.

Aaaaand… since they successfully completed the gauntlet of planning, organizing, and surviving ceremony, reception, and groovin’ concert party… they’re taking some well-deserved time to get-the-hell-out-of-Dodge and enjoy a honeymoon. Hence… They will NOT HNT this week.

But, hey. That’s what friends are for. So we’re HNT-ing FOR them. Because that’s how we are. Lecram‘s camera captured the following, and I’m sure you’ll see other comments and perspectives from some of the other bloggers who were caught enjoying the festivities.

The bride, with a particularly HNT-like pose:

The groom. No… not that guy… THAT guy, to whom he points:

Aren’t they cute?

And, of course, there were many bloggers in attendance.

Me… with the bride (I swear, I adore this woman):

And another of me with this blogger, and of course you know THAT guy:

And, a bonus photo. My very own podling with 1/3 of the Suicide Lounge, the Fabulous Fingers B:

The evening was lovely, the happy couple looked… well, very happy. And everyone there was happy FOR them. Great food and drink, great company among those who love and care for the bride and groom, then later, a GREAT show by Ticket To Ride and dancing off of feetsies. While the band took a break, a beautiful moment between bride and groom engineered by friends because of a SNAFU with the vows at the ceremony. I’ll let others describe the situation. I’ll just say that in my opinion, such a SNAFU made the evening more sweet for those watching because of the friends who went out of their way to make sure that vows WERE said in the manner intended and… well… Somebody else tell the story, because I wouldn’t do it justice.

It was just wonderful to see two such amazing people be supported by friends who love them so much.

Happy HNT to everyone. And Congratulations and Best Wishes and MANY Happy Returns of the Day to Zx3gurl and Fishstick. I wish you a wonderful forever.

Update 9:59 a.m.

Generik took photos at the wedding too. They’re here. (In case you didn’t see the link he left in the comments for this post.) Some really great shots! I’m totally stealing the ones with the podling in them.

Ok, so who’s going to pool all these various photos into a site/blog for Zx3gurl and Fishstick?
