A Wedding and Tea

Alaina and I walked toward the park on that brisk, chilly Friday morning. The wind smote my cheeks as we ascended the hill in the middle. At the top, we waited for the bride and the guests. Unfortunately, the other guests didn't show up and the bride was late. The groom never came either. But it was a lovely wedding. 

Well, the wedding didn't really happen, but we did really go to the park for it. That was probably one of the silliest things I've done, but it was kind of fun. 

When we got back to the house, we finished preparing for our tea party that we had planned (the reception for the wedding 😉). A couple of the freshmen arrived early, and soon more came. The bar filled up with tasties, and I made some homemade chai. The house smelled of a "mulled cider" candle. Before long, most of the guests had arrived, which ended up being about half freshmen and half upper class-men. We gathered around the dining table, Scott gave a toast to the bride, and Ian gave thanks for the food. Then the chatter began as we enjoyed the delicacies. 

After eating, we continued the fellowship and dancing commenced. Alaina tried to teach me, but it didn't last long. Some of our friends really know how to dance, some of us do not. 

Enjoy the bazillion pictures of the day.

Yes, donuts had to be a part of the tea.
