23/07: Horseman's Park Wedding
Everyone - here's the run down.
Rene. She's a dance teacher (may own her own studio) in a new by town and an esthetician. She has an adorable little girl (4ish?), and Rene's super nice.
From what I could gather her and Erik met a few years back, saw each other off and on, and in the last four weeks were hard core dating every day. Honest to god that's how it was explained to me. They were planning on getting married in two months in Vegas, but decided at the last minute to do it here. Rene had lined up her boss at the salon, but when he found out she wasn't planning on being at work today he got pissy and said he wouldn't do it. Then Rachel (ty's wife) was instructed to figure out how to have Ty do the wedding. I was apparently being called the last two nights (my phone must have screened those calls? who knows with Sprint) to inform me of this occasion but alas I found out for reals today by Jan.
By and by I whipped up a marriage ceremony, printed it off at Kinkos (I should buy a printer for these once in a year occasions to print things), and mosied down to Horsemans. I found Rene first, Erik was off - somewhere... We chatted, she read what was going on, and was pleased. People started arriving. Jan and John, Lou and Nancy, Anders/Emily/Steen, Dana rolled in eventually, Ty and Rachel at the last minute, Joe showed up, and right as we started Ross and Amber were in the crowd. Oh and Erik Nelson was there too.
The head of the track was all about "less than five minutes!" and once the winning horse was escorted off we ushered in to the Winner's Circle, had a brief introduction, and off we went. I was on the PA system and this was being broadcasted.. er.. simulcasted to every other place doing horse racing today. The wedding photos were done standing up near the edge of the building with people walking through. The photogs were anyone who had their own camera.
It was 105 degrees on the track so everyone was sweating their balls off, no one passed out, rings and vows were exchanged, and we were done. The place erupted with cheering, and it seems like this might have been the first time Horseman's has done this (but I doubt it). The World Herald did a brief interview with me. Awesome. I am famous.
