Nick and Rachel get married!
Our friends Nick and Rachel got married yesterday! The ceremony was in a beautiful athenaeum in Providence, RI. The officiant made quite an apt comparison between a hall of learning like the athenaeum and the friendships and cultures of those around you, which are all collected in one room during a wedding.
Afterwards, we drove to Gracie's Restaurant for cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, dinner, speeches, and dancing. It was a wonderful evening of catching up with friends, dancing to hits from our middle school days, and talking about old times. I didn't go to school with this crowd, but I've known everyone for about ten years now, so through exposure to stories I almost feel like I was there for a lot of it.
The highlight was likely the last song of the night, "Hands Down" by Dashboard Confessional. I was pretty thrilled to find that there were at least 20 people besides me who were screaming all the words and jumping up and down. Who says DC was all just "emo"?
Anyway, I think this is a wrap on wedding season for us. Glad we ended it with a bang!!
