They did the mash.
God I would have loved to have used “Monster Mash” as my wedding dance song.
Oh, did I mention I got married on Halloween? If not, I just did. There. Wait, details? You want details and pictures but mostly pictures because you really don’t like reading a lot? Well, all right.
Actually I don’t have pictures just yet. I’m waiting for those to be mailed to me via DVD. Our photographer, who also happened to be my best man, took around 500 photos of the whole event, so to go through all that is going to take some time, but as soon as I have pictures available I’ll post them. It’s likely that I’ll just post them on Facebook but why are you coming to Livejournal to look at pretty pictures anyhow?
I won’t go into severe detail on the wedding but needless to say, it went perfect. There were a few minor hitches here and there-mainly our best man dropping our rings-but nothing detrimental. Our ceremony took place at a local inn, which is a house from the 1900s that has been restored and maintained. There are five rooms and some of the bathrooms in the room have old fixtures from the 1900s, like a clawfoot tub. The room we stayed in didn’t have that but it did have a bathtub with Jacuzzi jets in it. We also had those glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling above our bed; it is the only time I’ve ever seen those stars purposely used and not there because they were left over from the previous owner of the room.
As I said, the ceremony went well mainly because the woman running the inn was also in charge of the wedding. She planned out when everything was going to happen and made sure we were on schedule so there were no idle moments. For me it was a lot of standing around and picture taking. After the ceremony the wedding party went downtown dressed in costume for dinner. I was dressed as Sweeney Todd with Beth as Mrs. Lovett. I’m really hoping there were a lot of pictures taken during this time because a lot of the costumes people wore need to be photographed, particularly our friend Jenny who went as a victim from the Saw films, complete with syringes in the arm.
Other than the wedding, there was a lot of running around San Antonio with family and friends since Beth and I were the honorary tour guides for the trip, which meant plenty of trips to the Alamo. Anyone looking to vacation in San Antonio know this: the Alamo needs to be remembered but it doesn’t need to be visited. Seriously, it’s just an empty building that you take one good picture at and then it’s over. You know there’s nothing to do there since across the street is a Ripley’s Believe it or Not Museum. It’s as if Ripley said, “Hey, people are going to be bored with that Alamo thing within five minutes, let’s give a reason they spent $20 to park downtown.”
Oh, and I just want to apologize to those that didn’t get invited to the wedding festivities. It’s nothing personal, it’s just that we started off planning twenty-five people and that maximum got filled pretty quickly just by family and a few friends (mainly best man and maid of honor). In the end though we wound up only having 17, which means a lot more people could have been invited and I’m sorry I didn’t invite more of our friends. If the wedding had been in Orlando it would have been a lot bigger and included a lot more people but sadly, I don’t think it would have went as swimmingly as ours did. Still, I appreciate everyone wishing me congrats on the wedding and just know that the wife and I (weird to read that, isn’t it?) will be in Florida again and I promise we will visit.
