We had a VERY LONG DAY today.
Julie's cousin Jason was getting married today and his fiancée/wife Vicky is Cambodian. Soooo... they had two ceremonies today. They had the traditional Cambodian wedding ceremony at 10am and then the white dress, Anglo-Saxon/Christian wedding ceremony in the afternoon at 4pm...
I will say that the Cambodian ceremony was really neat and they had lots of great food. It lasted about 2 1/2 hours though, but that involved 3 separate ceremonies, some VERY sparkly clothes and some hair-cutting. Of course, we missed large chunks of each part of the ceremony because Garrett was either hungry, tired or fussy.
After the morning ceremony, we went to Ikea and got a neat moon lamp for Garrett's nursery, some glasses and yet another DVD rack for me (though I think this is the last, if only because I have no room to put another rack up after this).
The white dress ceremony was nice and short but the reception was looooong... not to mention both Julie & I were exhausted. The food was excellent though and had we not been out since 9am, we probably would have stayed longer, but we did stay till the dance started. Thankfully the whole day was down at the Burlington Convention Center, which was VERY spiffy.
I think that that'll be the last full-day wedding we go to for some time... at least with Garrett in tow...
