Review: Phil`s Wedding

Last Saturday was Phil's wedding. Phil was one of the last people I expected would get married. He's basically a big kid and perennial bachelor. His ceremony was lovely. I had the great honor of manning A/V and did my best. Just as Pastor Andy began to speak, his wireless mic started fritzing. A few people that knew me looked back towards the A/V room with the look of "fix it!" Alas, there was nothing I could do from my little room. So I had one of the ushers run up and hand him a wired mic. It's nice being a part of a wedding, even if your participation is fairly minor.

The cocktail hour was okay. The highlights was a raw bar consisting of oysters and clams. Most of the other guests hadn't discovered these gems, so M, Sara, and I gorged ourselves on several plates of oysters. There was also this roast pig that was very good. The meat was tender and flavorful. The skin was too tough and not worth the effort. There was also a patte that was very good. Went very well with the mustard.

The actual reception food was mediocre at best. After going to several weddings, I've learned my lesson and order the fish now.

But the music was great. During the actual meal, it was a lot of Lite FM type of music. It was kind of odd when M knew the lyrics to every song, save one. Then came the 80's music. M tried to keep me and my shenanigans off the dance floor, but I was having too much fun being silly.

It was a great time and hope the best for Phil and Susana.

Congratulations!
