Sassy gets married

Let me tell you a little story of a gal named Sassy McDammit, aka Shannon. She and Nick got married on 10/15/05, the same day as the Gopher/Badger game. The Gophers blew it, but that was expected. Damn that Glen Mason and his coaching staff's inability to pull of a great win! Zing!
Anyways...the weather was wonderful, a beautiful October day, sunny, mid 60's, but a bit windy. I'm not a fan of Mr. Wind, but it wasn't a damper on the mood.
The ceremony went off without a hitch...and then came the reception. All was going well until the dollar dance, when Carrot Juice began a love affair with pinot grigio on the dance floor. Which led to longer and longer dances with the groom, since she was in charge of the groom's line, and eventually she left her post to go talk to Bob, the best man, who was running the bride's line. Or she would cut in and dance with the groom. After I finally got to spend my dollar on Nick, I walked over to Shannon, grabbed her by the arm, pointed her towards C.J., and said, "Look at her." Hilarious! Eventually she left the reception early, but Ty-bone and I caught her being led out past the bar, and she had one last run-in with Mr. Wall before disappearing around the corner. Oh me, oh my!
After the ceremony ended, those of us still standing went up to my room and had a couple of nightcaps and some delicious Dominoes Pizza. The next morning, my friend Q, who now lives in the ATL but was up for the wedding--couldn't miss this party!, told me that some guy came pounding on the door at about 3 AM, trying to get in because he thought it was his room. Luckily I was sleeping in the back room, because if that would have been me dealing with him, it would have been ugly:
1. I don't like to be woken up in the middle of the night like that, especially once I've hit my REM sleep
2. I don't like stupid people who pound on the wrong door insisting they are in the right place.
We all had a great time at the wedding and are looking forward to the next edition!

Had you been in the front room, there would have been some serious ass kicking, I was too out of it! What a great night. There needs to be another wedding, thank you Kirsten! :)

I wish I could have experienced all the glory but I was too busy dancing with EVERYBODY and their BROTHER...while Kirsten was busy dancing with my man instead of taking cash.
