The weekend after our housewarming party, we went up to New York for our friend Becca's wedding. This was actually the second wedding. The first one was in India the previous month with her new husband's family. But New York is much easier to travel to than India, so we just went to the second wedding.
Being a second wedding, the whole thing was relatively casual and a lot of fun. Becca and her husband decided to do a Quaker-style ceremony where they married themselves, since the legalities had already been taken care of. The venue was a museum with a strange inflatable art exhibit, a planetarium show, and a mansion we could have toured (but we missed it because I am too slow).
They had dinner and dancing in a room in the lower level of the museum, after everyone had had a chance to explore the exhibits. There was a live band, which was fun. Except that the room was a little too small for a live band. The noise ended up being a bit overwhelming, and I spent most of that part of the reception outside on the balcony, where there were some lovely, comfortable couches.
All in all it was a very fun weekend. We got a chance to see some people from college that we really don't see very often, since Becca ran in a broader social circle than us. There were some people out from the West Coast that we hardly ever see. We ended up spending most of the afternoon before the wedding at a brew-pub with friends that I'm not sure we've seen since our wedding. It was great to play games and swap stories.
