Another fun weekend, this, even with almost 20 hours in the Vibe taking up most of it. The occasion was the wedding of our b-school friend Jen and our new Section 9 friend Mike in Birmingham.
We got into town on Saturday morning with time to window shop and have Cheeburger for lunch. Before we even knew it, though, it was time to get formalized for the wedding. Jen really wanted a black tie wedding and we were excited to be a part of it; the ceremony was held in Christ Church Cranbrook, which is essentially a cathedral. The service was beautiful, perhaps enhanced by dozens of men in tuxedos and an evening start time.
The reception was also formal and classy - filet mignon and potato and onion flan served at nearly 10 followed by a fun Motown band to kick it into the evening and ice cream/Kahlua shots served with cake. It quickly turned into the latest wedding we've been to, winding down at 1:30, which was all too soon for us... with dancing, friends from Ross, and the posh surroundings of the West Bloomfield Country Club we could have stayed all night.
