Keeping myself honest

Saturday evening was a very special day in the life of two of my very good friends, now Mr. and Mrs. Josh and Joanna Zaslow. After all the stress (for them not me, all I had to do was remember how to tie a half Windsor) and running around and waiting the big day was finally here.

Unlike most subjects I write about there’s not a lot to say even for this somewhat unconventional wedding. There were only 30 people in attendance and it was held at the pub just around the corner from our house. The ceremony was short and sweet and I had a very awesome chair, and the first and only dances that followed were nice.

The rest of the evening was simply hanging out with the bride, groom and rest of the guests chatting about memories and congratulating the newly weds (and some shots too). The event was low key, as what probably should have been expected from the two parties involved, but it was nice and intimate and reminded me of seeing your favourite band in a lounge as opposed to a stadium.

Even with the lack of spectacular fireworks the night felt very genuine and still was one of the best parties I’ve been too in a long time and even had a few surprises including us convincing the groom’s parents to do shots with us.  This made the night easily the most memorialble wedding I’ve ever been too and a great event to partake in.

In closing to my dear friends I know I don’t say it enough (and you’ll probably never stumble into this corner of the internet) but I wish you all the best. It was very obvious from the first time I saw you together that you both made each other very happen and were going to make it to this day. The way you both are able enjoy yourselves and each other in one of the healthiest relationships I’ve ever seen gives me hope that statistically I might be able to find someone before I give up. It was a privilege to be able to partake in your wedding and share in event.

Here are some pics of the evening:

One of the rounds of shots

The final bar tab looked like a laundry list and came in at just under $1000. I think in total I drank:
- 2 Pints
- 1 Bottle of Beer
- 3 Rum & Coke
- 1 Irish Carbomb
- 1 Yager Bomb
- 1 Shot of Something Blue
- 1 Shot Liquid Cocaine
- 2 Shots of Swedish Berry
- 1 Shot of Vodka

I’m impressed that I was able to consume that much and then go one my run the next morning without dying, now we’ll see how I fair on my birthday.
