halloween wedding

We headed down to Austin for Halloween, as our friend got married to his longtime girlfriend on Halloween night. I was asked to be in the wedding party, an invitation I was honored to accept.

L and E spent a lot of time in the hotel room, L unfortunately came down with an ear infection right as the trip kicked off. We arrived in Austin at 2am Thursday night, and our first night was spent consoling a screaming child followed by a 7am trip to Walgreen’s to buy a cool mist humidifier.

Within twelve hours of a visit to a pediatric association’s evening doctor group, L’s penicillin kicked in and the difference was like night and day. By the next afternoon, he was dressed up in his little skeleton sweatsuit, running around the hotel room.

The wedding was absolutely gorgeous, the venue was way up on a hill overlooking a valley, the view of the entirety of Austin was breathtaking. I got to sneak a photo of our friend spending his last few moments as a bachelor deep in reflection and contemplation.

We met some great people, L enjoyed dropping it down on the dancefloor with the ladies, and our trip home was thankfully quick and uneventful. We cleaned the house thoroughly before we left for L’s party, so we were greeted on our arrival by a clean bed with soft clean sheets.
