Nerds! Nerds! Nerds!
 

WOW, what a weekend I have had. The wedding was awesome. I want to share all the details with you. Here it goes:

Friday morning I woke up at 3 am. We set off around 5:30 ish. My brother ended up getting stopped by the cops in Georgia. He was going 75 in a 60. Supposedly it was a construction zone but there was no sign of construction. No trucks, etc only some traffic cones.

We arrived around 12:30ish. Got to the Hotel and napped a bit. Then it was off to the rehearsal. It went well. The dinner was at a french restaurant. Yummy food. Open bar :). Then we walked down the river walk to the welcome party for all the guests. My brother and sister-in-law had booked a band called Chairman of the Board. They are an r&b band that had a few hits in the 70's. They were AWESOME. My husband and I danced a lot that night. I think we probably expended most of our energy dancing on Friday. My husband even thought about doing the splits but he believes that was the alcohol talking...lol :P.

Saturday: Myself and the other girls spent most of the day in the hair salon. Most of us have long hair so it took hours. Then it was time to get dressed. They had rented out a trolley for all the wedding party to arrive in. My brother and sister-in-law decided to have "first look" pics and the rest of the pictures done in various places in Wilmington before the ceremony.

The ceremony was at an historic Lutheran Church. It was very beautiful inside. They had two violins, a cello, a trumpeter, and an organist. Very lovely ceremony.

Then, after the ceremony we paraded down to the reception with streamers in our hands while there was an accordionist that played German music for us.

The reception was in an ante-bellum Mansion. The food was in four rooms representing four countries: England, France, Germany, and Italy. The first three represented their trip to Europe where my brother proposed in Germany. The fourth (Italy) is where they are having their honeymoon. The decor was very southern style with pretty flowers, cake, etc. Very elegant.

They had a pavilion outside with dance floor, bar, etc. There was another live band and a DJ. The live band was an 80's cover band called the Chicago Spazmatics. These guys were hilarious. They acted like nerds and dressed in propeller caps, helmets, nerdy glasses, pocket protectors, etc. All the guests were encouraged to get "nerdy" pictures made using nerd props. One of the favors were nerdy glasses which everyone was wearing. It got very crazy as the night wore on.
Especially when the band asked the crowd to give their best footloose imitations. One of the guests mistakenly thought it was Risky Business so he took his pants off and strutted on the dance floor...LOL.

Anyway, I had a ton of fun and now I have to recover again because I am sore from dancing, etc :). I have another wedding to go to in two weeks! Argh!

Wow that sounds amazing ma tsmuke! I'm so glad you had as much fun as you did, sounds like a blast! And wow another wedding? Get some sleep so you can dance all night long again! And those nerd guys sound awesome! Haha that brought a big smile to my face, glad your back :)

Rapunzel you are the best :D
, you deserved a break and looks like it payed off immensley. I'm glad you had a good time, hmm another wedding, you might as well keep your dance shoes on XD

Welcome back and thanks for sharing! :)

Welcome back! :D

Glad you had a good time, sounds like it was an absolute riot. :)

Thank you Stanley. I was thinking while I was there that this might be the sort of wedding that several of you on TOS would have liked. It was crazy! I will definitely get some sleep. I want to have fun at my friend's wedding.


Thank you! I needed the break :).


It was!

LOL, here is the Chicago Spazmatics. Apparently there are two bands with the name. This is the one that performed at my brother's wedding:

Seems like a lot of fun :D I think I should go to more weddings from now on.

And BTW, welcome back!

Glad you enjoyed it, happy to see you back :)

Welcome back, tsmuke! :D It sounds like you and your brother had an awesome party...just what a wedding should be! :party: (Your description of events had me laughing! :D )

Aww, I wasn't invited?...:P

Sounds like you had a great time. The food from four different countries would have been my favorite part...;)

Wow, judging by that video, I would absolutely LOVE to have them at a party of mine! They are so beast! :P

They're actually pretty good too...

Aww, thanks. Yeah, it was pretty hilarious.


I would have been surprised if they hadn't done something like that. My brother has been to most of the countries in Europe and Germany, Italy, and England are probably his favorite. Besides, he proposed to her in Germany when they went on their Europe trip.

They were very funny. They also did a good job keeping the party going too :).
