I am back from the wedding. I took tons of pictures but apparently my camera is kind of crappy, so most didn't turn out. It was a very busy weekend, what with the wedding and Shannon's birthday and all.
The bachelor party was simple. Trey isn't the kind of guy who wants adult entertainers and drinks until you can't walk. He wanted a Christian party, so that's just what we threw.
It began at Speed Zone (imagine go-karts, but for adults) throw in a couples of beers and some video games and you got yourself a party. Which was great because that was exactly what we were trying to throw.
From there we went to Papasitos for fajitas and drinks. Then finally we went to Trey's sister's house for the rest. His sister was at the bachelorette party, so it was her husband and us in a 3,000 Sq Ft House. It was nice. They are obviously living the American dream: Having everything you could ever want in exchange for massive, massive debt. We drank beer and played poker for about 4hours. I'm not that experienced in Texas Hold 'Em but I managed to hold my own, even coming in second in our mini-tournament against guys who make a killing when they hit Vegas.
The next day was the wedding rehearsal and dinner. Not much to say here, lots of joking around. No one took it seriously. The bachelor and the rest of the guys went to Oklahoma to gamble, I however stayed because it was Shannon's birthday weekend. We went to a showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show at a movie theater in Ft. Worth. Beneath the screen, performers acted out the film. It was... unique.
Then it was the wedding day. We made some last minute adjustments to the positions of groomsmen and bridesmaids on the stage, then us men went in the back and got dressed. The Groom himself, Trey, seemed pretty calm right up until the point when we had to leave. Then it hit him, that this was really happening.
The bride was feeling the same, as the wedding was delayed until she could catch her breath. It was a pretty ceremony, they both looked incredibly happy.
The reception was just as fun. 5 course meal, dancing, wine. Then came my toast. They let me know about 5 minutes until Go Time. I had to make one at the same time as the Maid of Honor. She was way too nervous to go first, so manned up and broke the ice. Surprisingly, I managed to make the wedding guests laugh. From what I hear, it was a nice toast.
Finally the night ended with Trey and his new bride Jen hopping on a Gondola instead of a car and being rowed down the canal for a nice relaxing romantic trip as man and wife.

Awww.. that sounds cute and fun. I support your Christian bachelor party much more than a nasty stripper fest. That's just gross.
