Random thoughts from this weekend:

• One of James’ groomsmen went to school from an early age with John Cena.  Apparently, he’s a really nice guy.
• The B&A Warehouse has a grits bar available for parties and wedding receptions.  If you ever invite me to something at B&A and don’t offer the grits bar, I will protest.  Loudly.  Hungrily, even.
• Rawlins (the bride) looked beautiful.  I finally realized why I’ve had a crush on my little brother’s girlfriend for years and years — the uncanny resemblance to Tina Fey.
• I guess in a town this small, it’s no real surprise to eventually cross paths with a given group repeatedly, but there was a whole lot of Indian Springs in my weekend.
• Wade’s new girl is pretty hot. Apparently smart, and successful, too, but whatever.
• Interesting cross: my brother, me, and his friends, and the bride’s family’s friends.  I kept hearing Billy’ Joel’s UPTOWN GIRL all weekend.  It was weird.
• Having all three siblings and the parents in one place is way too rare, but maybe the more special when it happens.

Congratulations, James and Rawlins.  You guys deserved every minute of it.
