Love that Dirty Water

I spent this past weekend in Boston to attend my brother’s wedding reception. It was a great event, here are a few of the highlights
* For the introductions (when the bride’s & groom’s families are introduced, followed by the bride & groom), Jen sported a Red Sox jersey over her wedding dress and John donned his Red Sox hat as they entered to the Sox’ “Dirty Water” theme song in a tribute to the teams’ recent World Series victory. Somehow my parents managed to not notice this at all, allegedly because they were still getting back to their seats, but they were introduced before I was, and I was back at my table already….
* The DJ was great as well, he did a good job of keeping the crowd energized and entertained. He also did a few cool things like the Love Compatibility test, where John & Jen had to answer questions like “Who is messier” and “Who has more ex’es” and see if their answers matched.
* The Dance Contest: as part of the “who gets to keep the centerpieces” process, a dance contest was held with one male and female from each table. Fisher and his girlfriend busted out the “Running Man” to get themselves into the finals, where they were defeated by my Aunt Mary and Uncle Frannie, whose dance moves can only be described as indescribable.
* The Toast: The Best Man (who shall remain nameless) gave a fabulous and well received toast which has both humorous and touching. You know you’ve struck a chord when the groom says “OK You can stop now”. Perfect timing, I was done anyways…
