[travel] Oregon Roadtrip Pt 4: Simanda's wedding

[mattbell]

Simran and Amanda's wedding was a perfect encapsulation of the union of their personalities -- it was small, informal, irrepressibly playful, full of puns and aikido moves, and engineered to flout numerous traditions but always with good reason.  Flour girls replaced flower girls.  Instead of being held in a cathedral, it was held under a bridge with structural supports that offered a cathedral-like appearance.

The afterparty, which lasted all day, featured a full reenactment of the wedding as a shotgun wedding, with an undershirt beach ball acting as stand-in for the unplanned pregnancy.  This truly is the fabled Summer of Weddings, as I have attended four since June and have one more coming up later this month.
