texas: ren fest "afterparty"

After awhile we decided to leave the reception and wander the grounds for a while. We ended up in the beer garden enjoying some mead.

I had a great time with Will's Lost Souls friends (yes, that is what they call themselves). I'd met a whole slew of them before at Ruben and Sarah's wedding (who were very sorely missed this weekend) but there were a few key characters that I'd heard the names frequently but had never had the chance to meet. Everyone was great and it made me sad yet again that we didn't realize how much we were overestimating who was going to come to our wedding and didn't invite more friends.


Derek had an awesome outfit.

We knew that the park closed at 6 so at about 5:30 we headed out. We got to the car at about 5:45, pulled out of the spot, got on the end of the line of cars in our parking lane, and then didn't move for another 2+ hours. Rampant parking lot rumor - I took to wandering around a bit because I was so bored - was that there was a fight in the parking lot that got out of hand with a few swords. In the end, it took us 2.5 hours just to get out of the parking lot. We were amazed that everyone was being so polite once we could move. It was a 4 hour ordeal from when we decided to leave until we got back to Callie's.

  1. Oh Marcy, I did not even think to warn you about parking and leaving. It is nuts. I have never been without that same situation when it is time to leave!

    It sounded like an awesome wedding! I cannot believe you guys are on the road again! I am slightly envious of your globetrotting ways:) Sounds way more fun than all these diapers:) (not that I would trade my kids for traveling...you know what I mean:))
