Had a very exciting weekend. Alex and Michelle got married and the whole damn clan was in town. I think that I'm still recovering. The ceremony was in the Berkeley Botanical Gardens in the Redwood Grove. Very appropriate for the two of them, as they both love the outdoors. There were about 60 people in attendance, including my all of my cousins. All four cousins with kids had them there. It was nice to see the next generation of kids growing up.
The frightening confluence of people I love to spend time with happened at this wedding. Darren, Mikkel and Lick were all there. We partied till 3:30 in the morning. I hadn't been out that late since last summer in Europe with Mikkel. It was worth it. After the reception we went to Lukas Taproom in downtown Oakland. Cool bar, but they charge a $10 cover on the weekends. I enjoyed watching people who hadn't spent much time together, really seem to be engaged in getting to know one another. Maybe it was just that we all know Alex and Michelle, or perhaps that we'd had too much to drink, but everyone got along so well.
