Matt and Lynsee!
Monday, September 29th, 2008Our good friend (and ex-roommate) Matt recently wedded Lynsee, the sister of our other good friend Micah. They were all nice enough to let me spend the morning and afternoon with them, and I did my best to help when needed and get out of the way the rest of the time. Sometimes I can be a little over-eager or over-curious, and get involved when I probably shouldn’t. There’s a fine line between involved and intrusive, and I occasionally forget where it is.
The ceremony was quirky, beautiful, and touching - just what I’d expect from Matt and Lynsee. They picked a gorgeous location in Peninsula Park, and the weather and greenery could not have been any nicer. Their reception was fantastic as well. We got to mix and mingle with a lot of people that we haven’t seen in years, while eating and drinking like royalty. We didn’t make it to the after party, but I hear that it was a blast. Sara had tried out for (and made!) the Eugene Roller Derby squad earlier in the day, and was ready to call it a night after the reception.
Matt’s bachelor party was a few weeks back. Meat, beer, and cigars were the order of the day as we camped up at Trillium Lake near Mt. Hood. Saturday we hiked a bit and drove in to Government Camp to watch the Ducks barely squeak out a win against Purdue, before returning to the campground for more meat, beer, etc. Truly, a manlier weekend has never been had.
