Penguins take Manhattan!
The wedding last night was wonderful. Helen was radiant, Howard had a grin that you couldn't get rid of with a chisel, and everybody had a great time. Nice to see ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rosefox again. We went to the ceremony in a stretch limo, and thank Ghu for that since traffic and the weather were horrid.
The ceremony was touching, mixing Jewish tradition with other elements to produce a nice mixture. Brigid and Alexa were darling flower girls, and Howard's son Gregory served as best man while looking like an extra from the Sopranos.
After the ceremony, we had a brief cocktail hour, where I chatted with some interesting folks, and then the reception started. As usual, the DJ forgot that people, especially families, like to talk when gathered together. He had the music a little loud, in my opinion. Also as usual, it was the little kids doing the bulk of the dancing. Which was cute, I must admit. I was seated with the gamers and SCAdians, so we had plenty to talk about.
( Saturday in The City )
Tomorrow, I'm taking the Grey Line tour, and hopefully the Staten Island Ferry (if the weather is nicer, we got a few lightning cells moving through right now.) I've also been ordered to buy a hot dog from a sidewalk cart, and given the address of the best place to get a slice in the city.
I'm still not sure if I want to go to the WTC site. Part of me wants to, but I'm not sure how I will react.
Sorry if this rambled a bit, I'm pretty tired.
Two days and I get my Kiri again, yay!
