Wedding of the Century: Live Blog
Cool... I found an open wireless network here at the wedding site. I'm running sound for the event, so I'm here with my computer and stuff and will endeavor to do live blogging of the wedding in updates to this post, and answer any questions or pass along any messages that appear in comments. It may well be that everyone who is interested is already here, but we'll give this a try.

A little more than an hour to the big event. No sign of the bride or groom yet. Hmmm. The florist and catering staff are scurrying around. The head of the catering staff is a megabitch. The florist and I just about told her to piss off. If she gives us any more lip, we will. Photos coming in a couple of minutes, then I'll go change from my regular clothes into my suit.

Bride and groom are both here and seem to be holding up well. Jon brought a bayonet to use for cutting the cake. Oleg is running around photographing everything that moves.
