two-twenty

so a ukrainian and a zoroastrian walk into a bar...

A few snapshots from Dan and Roxanne's wedding in Philadelphia last weekend. We should mention that the couple's family backgrounds are Ukrainian Catholic and Indian Zoroastrianism, and that the bride and groom themselves might best be described as secular humanists. Somehow, they managed to incorporate themselves, their friends, their families, and their respective cultures and traditions seamlessly into a beautiful ceremony performed at The Franklin Institute (Philly's science museum). Three cheers.

Here, the happy couple toasts their family and friends:

Here, two-twenty cleans up nicely:

Here, two-twenty reverts to our natural state, a level of dissipated drunkenness that requires us to communicate using rudimentary hand signals:

Better pictures will come when the photographer among us gets his film developed. As it stands, we feel that these snapshots maybe convey something of the spirit of the evening. The wedding's theme was "Orange and Red", and we should mention it even had it's own soundtrack! Every guest got to take home a CD of music chosen by Dan and Roxanne to represent their union, titled "My Heart Is Cast" (that's a line from Frank Black's "Speedy Marie", which is on there). Also on there: Destroyer, Cinerama, Evelyn's cover of The Magnetic Fields' "Smoke and Mirrors", GBV, the Casino Royale theme(!) and an original song written for the wedding by Stew, "Orange and Red".

Congrats again, Dan and Rox, two-twenty wishes you all the best. And absolves you of any and all responsibility for Sunday's skull-crushing hangover.
