Bryan and Mary's big day

I realized I never talked about St. Louis. Overall we had a great time down there but I wanted to give a few thoughts and comments around the wedding in St. Charles.

  • It was great to see family and friends that I had not seen in a while. Negative - there were so many people that I wanted to talk to that I felt like I didn't get to talk to anyone.
  • Bryan and Mary looked amazing. Not shocked about Mary but Bryan cleaned up nicely!
  • Loved that we went to White Castle as a stop on the bus.
  • I was really honored to be best man in a wedding but did not realize the amount of responsibility I had. It was a lot of work. I loved it though
  • I was nervous about the speech. Not really nervous about talking in front of lots of people but nervous I would have too many beers on the bus before giving it. We were on the bus for almost 4 hours! I did good though. I was still under control
  • The music selection for the wedding was fantastic and it showed. The dance floor was PACKED all night!
  • With me being in the wedding and having to run around a lot, Michelle was on Samantha duty for a LOOOOONG time. Nice work Michelle!
  • My speech would have never worked if it wasnt for Plothow setting it up beforehand. THANK YOU!
  • I freaked out when we got into the reception and the mic was plugged into a wall on the other side from where the computer was setup. Thank goodness for wireless microphones.
  • Pai Gow after the reception was fun. It was not profitable but it was fun.
  • When I kneeled for my wedding, I thought that would be the last time. Then I showed up for the rehearsal and found out round 2 was coming!
  • Trailhead Brewery was awesome. I really liked that place.
  • I am still can not believe Michelle had a WWE belt cake make in a 48 hour period. Wow.
In the end, I had a great time and I was honored to be part of the wedding. Fun times by all!
