The day of the wedding went OK. Tracie went to help with wedding decorations and I headed to a place called Pipes Cafe in Cardiff to meet my college friends Ben and Kelley. The place was a cool surf shack joint with a really good espresso bar outside.
It was great to hang out with Ben and Kelley and meet their kids. We had a fun time catching up over Pipes' ridiculously huge burritos. After lunch, I wanted to hang out with them until later in the day, but the wedding decorating had been pretty busy and I needed to bring lunch to some relatives.
Three hours before the wedding, I was asked to shoot video of the ceremony and reception speeches, since there was no videographer. Being the cool relative I am, I agreed. Tracie and I got ourselves ready and headed over to the wedding site, which was outdoors on a nice overlook in La Jolla.
The wedding went well and wasn't too hot, despite the full afternoon sun. The ceremony was done by Tracie's Uncle Dan, who is a Baptist minister. After the wedding, we headed to the reception at the bride's parent's house. It was a great party and the catered food was pretty good too. Everyone had a lot of fun, as far as I could tell. Tracie and I didn't stay that late, since we had to drive back the next day.
Our drive home was fairly uneventful. Only six hours, including stops in Yuma and Gila Bend! It's good to be home, but damn, it is hot in Phoenix.
