The trip started like this. Basically a lot of driving and nail filing.
Of note, this blimp was spotted. It was moving up and down like an old-timey boat which gave it a very surreal feel. Also, we were in the middle of nowhere, so what the heck was it doing?!?
We stopped at this mom & pop ice cream shack. There was no public entrance and hence no bathroom to be had. But we did get some HUGE ice cream from the front windows. The best part was when the clerk opened the screen door to take my order and then closed it again to make the ice cream. Not quite sure what that accomplished. Maybe he wanted to make sure that my order didn't have to pass through the symbolic filter of mesh.
Then the roads started to look a lot like this:
and this.
Oh, and this, too. Geez, enough with the beautiful scenery already.
Just before we arrived at our destination it looked like this.
We made a wrong turn and ended up on Dairy Lane. Clever name.
Finally we arrived at this mind-blowing farm wherein the wedding was to take place. We felt frightened and confused until Uzo and Alyssa spotted us. They would remain our constant companions for the remainder of the evening, whether they liked it or not.
This is where the ceremony was. It felt like something out of a hugh grant movie. Very picturesque, romantic. And british.
Just before the wedding happened a wild turkey walked by. Those 7 dark pixels in the middle are a turkey. You're just going to have to trust me.
Then the magic happened. Seriously, it was a beautiful ceremony. Afterwards everybody went up and threw rose petals into the river. Melissa gave me that "we didn't throw rose petals at our wedding" look. And I felt shame.
We went and stole some corn afterwards. Note the pinkness of my shirt.
The party favors were these great stilts. Everyone fumbled around on them the rest of the evening. It was great.
Then this happened. Everybody go: "awwwww."
Much delicious food was eaten. And those totally sweet pink glasses were the real favors. At least I hope they were. Cause we sure took a couple of them. And some silverware. Ok, and a plate or 2.
Uzo was seriously moved by the speeches. Weren't we all?
When it got dark it got even MORE beautiful. What was with this place! And for some weird reason it smelled a lot like when I was at the HFStival. Not quite sure what that was.
My camera couldn't quite hang with the night shots, but this was the best it could do. The full moon was so bright: this doesn't really capture the moment. I plan on suing Sony.
And there you have it. The only thing I didn't get a picture of was me almost falling asleep 39 times on the drive home. That was the funnest!
