Wedding Photos #2

As is some sort of Scottish-derived tradition, the bride and groom cut the cake using a "wedding sword" given them by the best man. This one is a bit larger than custom really requires. Then again, some might argue, so was the quantity of cake. 2004:12:14 21:32:03

And here we go, continuing the documentary spree, as it were. Below, a bit of setting.

Late update: Xylo the groomsman has his version in photos, for those of you so inclined.

The wedding took place in a lovely old Episopalian church in downtown Atlanta. As I've never been especially comfortable taking pictures during religious ceremonies, this "before" shot will have to do. 2004:12:14 18:52:11

Following, there was dancing, and a feast of Indian cuisine -- I polished off the last of my leftovers on a plane four days later -- and at last, time to boot out the couple.

Bubbles are the new rice, you know. Now that Laura and Sawyer have changed into their traveling outfits (no traveling gowns here; just sensible driving wear, and fairly representative of their standard attire at that), they prepare to make a break for it. With eyes closed. Someone compared this to dashing through a washing machine. 2004:12:14 23:05:20

Of course, the ride had to be ... improved.

The new and improved getaway vehicle. It has been thoroughly annotated with helpful hints ("Bride Here") and warning labels ("It's a trick! Get an axe!"). There seem to have been combat boots affixed to the rear bumper, as well. 2004:12:14 22:33:37
