\"Carol<\/a>
\nSaturday we were happy participants in the wedding of Carol Ford (UMM Science Division Office Goddess, excellent musician, and master gardener<\/a>) and Chuck Waibel (writer<\/a> and co-conspirator in Carol’s winter CSA project).<\/p>\n

The wedding was a wonderfully relaxed outdoor affair at Earthrise Farm<\/a>, with various pets and farm animals wandering rather freely in and out of the ceremony. The “dress code” was relaxed and fun; Carol’s litmus test was to ask yourself if “I look good and I could wear this for hours without itching”. A key feature was the almost complete lack of schmaltz, which is pretty uncommon, especially in primarily “roll your own” weddings. <\/p>\n

I took a wrong turn at one point that lost us 10 minutes or so on the way down, and we were consequently concerned that we were cutting it a bit close on the time. Conveniently, the bride’s father got even more lost on his way in, and was in fact quite a bit later than us. Since they weren’t going to start without him<\/em>, this give us (and several others) plenty of time to mingle and chat despite the time of our arrival.<\/p>\n

After the ceremony, we headed over to the Dawson Town Hall for a fine potluck reception party, including tons of excellent music from their many talented friends. Sub-Evil Boy and I even got to do two of our songs ( “Crabgrass” and “Taco Man”) to what was an almost entirely new audience, which was fun.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Carol and Chuck, and best wishes for a long and happy life together! If you’re really bored you can check out the less bad of the zillions of photos I took<\/a>. Watch it as a slide show on the high speed setting, and parts are almost like a really bad animated GIF of the event!<\/p>\n
