Wedding by the Bay

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend. We had a relaxing close to the summer reading poolside during the day while enjoying good food and beverages in the evening. This weekend marked a significant change to the lake dynamic because none of the group of friends attending lived together anymore. Our 11 o’clock arrival led us into a high-energy conversation of people catching up with old faces they haven’t seen for a few months. We quickly joined in and after several rounds of cocktails (including some shot gunning), more arrivals, and introductions to a few new faces someone noticed the clock read 3:30 in the morning. At this point, I found myself pressed into recalling my theme wedding material (see 6/28 & 6/29 posts) and after mildly protesting to hold off until the morning I tried to remember as much A-Team fodder my droopy eyelids would allow me.

The next morning, Rob could not stop talking about the fun evening he had and we started recounting the highlights from what really amounted to a few hours ago. From this conversation and with the help of many others, I now present the Baywatch Wedding.

• All members of the wedding party will wear red bathing suits, sunglasses, sun tan lotion on their noses, and carry an orange flotation device
  
• The bride will come down the aisle running in slow motion to an organ rendition of the Baywatch theme. I would like to ask everyone to open to page 127 of their hymn book to sing along.
• Hobie will be the ring bearer
• There will be a music video halfway through the ceremony
• When it’s time to pronounce the happy couple man and wife, the bride will pass out so the groom can perform the sacred kiss via CPR
• A yellow SUV will take the place of the limousine
• The entire reception will only be music by David Hasselloff so we recommend not booking a room because you will be leaving within eighteen minutes
• The honeymoon will consist of visiting and releasing an album in Germany
• After four years, the couple will quit their jobs to start a catering company called Baywatch Nights
