Reunion

When one of our group from college gets married, it's like college all over again. It's even better when two friends marry each other. Jesse and Katie had their wedding last weekend, so the Knowles Hall Mafia converged on Seattle, where they now live. We started out with a joint bachelorette and bachelor party, then split off. The girls went salsa dancing, which I have to say is the best bachelorette party idea ever.

I wasn't surprised to see that Katie planned a beautiful wedding. The ceremony was by candlelight, and the reception took place in an old multiple-story mansion. They had a great swing band, and the boys even got the bartenders to let us smuggle in Jager for a commemorative shot.

The best part is seeing everyone. It's been two years since the last one, and it was great to catch up. I miss those guys.

Lesson learned: We may be older, but we don't really act it.
