sashagee and I left with plenty of time to spare and then traffic was the worst I've ever seen, so we arrived fifteen minutes late and missed the opening drinks. We got there and saw a few people standing outside the ceremony area holding angry toddlers--separated from the rest of the hall by a curtain--and slipped in to find ![[facebook.com profile]](https://www.facebook.com/favicon.ico)
tom.hen.12 reciting the sheva braḥot, the traditional Jewish wedding blessings. There was only another ten minutes or so left after that, with the traditional vows and the kiss and the party proceeding out, and when we were standing out with tom.hen.12 and his wife eating the hors d'oeuvres, he said that the ceremony was the shortest he'd ever seen and we had honestly barely missed anything.
britshlez had originally told me she was going to seat sashagee and I at a table with her friend pinktokki1004's parents (who only speak Korean) with the idea that we could still communicate with them, but when we actually checked the seating arrangements, it was the two of us, tom.hen.12 and his wife, and kjtrujillo and his boyfriend and the other two seats were taken up by a couple who never showed. That meant I got two pear and goat cheese salads and two dinner rolls, which was pretty nice because the main course (I had requested kosher) was a veggie burger seemingly straight out of the 90s--it was a thick lump, slightly rubbery, and nothing like modern veggie burger technology. I ate it, of course, because what else was I going to do? But tom.hen.12's wife and I spent some time commiserating over how bad it was.
We didn't get much of a chance to talk tobritshlez during the night, because that's how weddings work. Even beyond the ceremonial parts, she had to go through to all guests, thank them for coming, chat with them for a few minutes, all of that. Most of the rest of the night was sashagee and I dancing together and chatting people as the guests gradually thinned out, and just after midnight our table were the only ones left. britshlez said that she and very_strong_and_cool were going to the Billy Goat Tavern downtown and invited us, but after some internal discussion we decided to give them some time alone, so we got a cab with tom.hen.12 and went back home and straight to bed.
IIRCbritshlez and very_strong_and_cool aren't going on a honeymoon right away, they're waiting until a bit later. But hopefully they have a lovely start to their married life!
