Our first wedding of the summer: Caroline & Brad were married in a great ceremony at the Michigan Theater yesterday evening. I spent the morning on my bike, cleaning and laundering at home, then having lunch with RP and making an airport run to collect JB. The day flew by and before we knew it, we'd pulled up outside the Michigan Theater, where our friends' names were on the marquee and the lobby was decorated for a beautiful service. Afterwards, the MBA contingent gathered at RP's for a little prefunk before heading to Barton Hills Country Club for an indoor/outdoor/multi-station/dancing celebration. We followed up the official party with an unofficial gathering with bride and groom and closest friends, wherein we shut down b-dubs.
In the morning, we got up and dressed for a casual-but-fancy brunch at Caroline's parents' house. There were bananas foster in the basement, a smoothie & coffee station in the reading room, fantastic quiche lorraine in the dining room, and friends gathered around a fireplace in the sitting room. There had been golf on the docket, but it rained a fair amount and so the couple of the day elected to shift and take in a movie; many joined them and we did too, taking in Pirates 3. APHC and laying low figured prominently in the evening: Billy Collins and the Wailin' Jennys were too much to pass up.
