I think because the ceremony was a bit more emotional than most people expected, the party started off quietly, with lots of hugging. I think it was especially moving for the gay couples there, as this was still a very novel event, Vermont being the first state in the US that allowed gay marriages (well, technically civil unions, but I like to remember it as a wedding and ignore the legalese). But the liquor from Ari's wine cellar flowed liberally and everybody got very jolly very quickly.

Saturday was the wedding day, and we spent most of it nursing hangovers with our friends. I made a huge mistake in going to a local "spa" and getting my hair cut, which any idiot knows is a terrrible idea on your wedding day. Anyway, it looked terrible, but since my disappearing hair always looks terrrible, I think it only bothered me all day and went unnoticed by everyone else. After we donned our tuxedos, we did a few (actually very many) formal photos, a few of which are here. While I am of course a big fan of gay marriages, I will say that a bride comes in handy for wedding photos, since there's only so much you can do with two guys in tuxes.
