Man Weekend


This years Man weekend was filled with all sorts of manly events, and I have the wounds and lack of hair to show for it. Manly men doing manly things such as dragging trees through the woods with an ATV, exploding substandard domestic beers in the firepit, and human flame retardant experiments with everclear (exhibit A to the right). Ah.. such a gratifying weekend. I think i'll go belch and scratch myself for awhile now.

Brian and Janet's Wedding


Brian and Janet's Wedding
Originally uploaded by jrossjr.
Two weekends ago Brian Tweddle married Janet Daig. I had the pleasure of playing the role of Best Man for the days festivities. There were some worries the night before at the rehearsal because the pastor could not remember Brian's first name, nor pronounce his last name. On top of that, he randomly inserted crass jokes such as "What are the two ingredients to a successful marriage? Good cooking, and good lingerie" Which isn't that bad I suppose, but they added up after awhile. For the actual ceremony he was much more professional, and I think everyone was relieved. My largest task was to keep control of the ring bearer during the service. Eventually I ended up making the executive decision to allow him to go back to his mom after standing still was no longer even plausible. :) He sprinted down the aisle to everyone's amusement.
