Yes, today a friend of mine got married. I got the day off from work and attended a truly elegant ceremony downtown, in a building that's hundreds of years old.
Now, this building sees many weddings every day (it's the place where civil ceremonies are held), but this one was the first gay wedding I've seen there - and I was one of the guests!
My friend and his new husband both glowed with happiness, and I took I-don't-know-how-many photos. Tons. Really. I met quite a few new people, and it was nice to see that my friend's former boyfriend was also there. After the ceremony, a minibus took us to the reception, which was held in a small restaurant.
The booze flowed freely, with everyone except me partaking. I took one sip of champagne and poured the rest into my friend's glass. As the day wore on and more booze was consumed, people let down their hair.
One of the guests, in fact, put his hand down the front of my shirt. Later, we sat outside and talked dirty to each other.
I think my friend should make this an annual event.
