Wedding Crunch

It's bad enough here in California that state furloughs are adding extra hours to traffic jams and are keeping residents from renewing their driver licenses.


But then today, major portions of the wedding party, including Bride Megan, Dad Mike, Mom Jayne, and Grandmother Nona were taken out of commission by this:


Well, more specifically, this:


Yes, the 24-hour bug, as transported to the West Coast by Cousin Maureen and Kevin's (otherwise adorable) three children, struck picture-perfect wedding weekend here in Santa Rosa. Thankfully, the wedding isn't until tomorrow, and all victims seem to have recovered to about 75% by sundown tonight.


But it did mean that major wedding participants (and funders) missed out on some great Northern California wine-tasting and golfing today. (I'll post photos once I steal them from my cousin Andrew.)

Meanwhile, the troops rallied tonight to put the final touches on wedding preparations.






Others of us, on the other hand, just seemed to take it all in stride.


Speaking of strides, special thanks to Uncle Mike and the Fountaingrove Golf Club for helping to put some last-minute shine back in my shoes for tomorrow's event. You guys take IOUs for payment, right?
