Cultured. Like yogurt.

A few weeks ago, I mentioned that we went down to Virginia to visit Maria's cousin and watch an Indian movie. As some of you may have have noticed, the CD that we gave away has some songs from this movie.



And of course, if you're really pining for some information, visit the Web site. I found a synopsis on the erosentertainment.com page, which has all sorts of fun Bollywood stuff, including movies that you can buy (legally!) for that special brown person in your life. And Main Hoon Na will be a double disc set! Oh boy!

This weekend we're planning another trip down to VA. I think Maria and her cousin will visit Bollywood and the men shall head out to Hollywood.

Sprinkle, sprinkle

Here's what I've managed to post today. Impressive, no? First up is Adam giving the lovely speech. The speech was quite hilarious, if I do say.



Dancing! There was much dancing. By uh, us. A table was moved and we slowly made ourselves dizzy to "Beyond the Sea." I thought it would be appropriate.

Thanks, Nelms

Well, the photos are coming in now. I'll resize these ones tonight, but here are a few now through links. I'd like to thank Nelms profusely for sharing these. As you can see from all of them, it was slightly cloudy that day, although later on in the evening the sun came out a few times. The temperature was decent, although by the time we all left, it was getting a little chilly.

The rotunda at Lauxmont farms, where about 130 of our close friends and family gathered on Sunday to celebrate our wedding.

If you turned around you could see the many open fields and a few horses. This is the Susquehanna river.

Tables were also set up outside so people could eat cheese, drink soda and enjoy the horse sounds.

A quiet moment at the reception. There was music inside and a constant din of happy conversation. The rotunda was also much warmer than outside, so we constantly were going outside for some relief.

Adam greeting people as they wander back inside. Adam made a lovely speech which was both humorous and thoughtful. Thanks, Adam.

Feeding cake to Maria was a straighforward and polite affair. I was so very tempted to smear it all over her face, although I do have to live with the consequences of my actions, unlike the rest of you.

Last Party

This weekend we managed to go to five parties, one of which was our wedding reception. I'll have pictures shortly, once we wade through the gifts and the extra food. The other parties were as follows:

Saturday at noon Maria and I drove to Philadelphia to meet with Shannon and others who were in town for Sunday's reception. She and her roommates hosted a lovely brunch. After that, we headed back to Lancaster to Adam's parent's house for a barbecue. We were able to grill despite the rain. The guest list was sort of a Holiday Party "lite" edition. That afternoon we watched Smarty Jones lose, continuing that great Philly tradition of choking when it counts. Good thing I didn't put any money on the race.

Saturday evening after Adam's party, we came back home to find more guests. Family friends who we hung out with until we were really, really sleepy. Then it occurred to us that it was just Saturday.

Sunday was the big reception at Lauxmont Farms in Wrightsville. It didn't rain, despite the threatening skies. I hope everyone had a good time and it seems like they did. The food was great all around, and there's plenty left for the rest of the week. Pictures will follow once I solicit a few from friends and family.

And of course, after the reception, all of the family friends who were sleeping over were back at the house for more fun, so we didn't get to sleep last night till nearly three. But I managed to make it into work today.

We also determined that the Fourth Annual Holiday Party will be on December 26th. So uh, mark your calendars.
