80s Dance Party!

Last night we went to a wedding in St Paul and had an awesome time! The couple was married in a beautiful church and we all threw birdseed at them as they came out. We got covered in it as well - as soon as it hit the ground there was a gust of wind and the chaff flew up and coated everyone on my side. There was lots of brushing off for the next couple of minutes. The couple got into their rented DeLorien and drove away - how cool is that??

The reception was held on a college campus in a huge room. When they did the wedding slideshow five screens came down for us to watch it on! It was really well done, although both Nick and I were struck by the fact that the groom looked a lot like Adam when he was younger - maybe he is a long-lost relative? I'm also jealous of the groom's ability to take pictures of himself and his new bride; when we do that all we ever get are our faces, not great skylines and details of what's behind us. Maybe he'll post some tips when he gets back from his honeymoon and has a chance to read this.

And then the dancing began. All the lights went down and they had colored lights instead. The DJ did a great job of working up the crowd. Almost every single song they played was from the 80s! It was awesome. We had so much fun out on the floor dancing. It was a great wedding, congratulations to the new couple.

PS There's something about weddings - when we got home I HAD to pull out our wedding DVD and watch that myself. :)

Hmmm...I think the grooms tip for better pictures would be that he has a longer arm than you. :) I'm having a bubble machine at my wedding. Maybe a Willie Wonka feel with lots of candy.
