Mr. and Mrs. W. Peppard

This weekend I had the pleasure of using my skills I learned when I was eight for a wedding. What would these skills be? Well of course they would be acolyting (not sure if that is a word). My roommate CB and I were both asked to be acolytes in a wedding for two of our friends. He is an Aggie thus we were on the C team since we are we t-sips. However, I would like to make a notion that this is actually the best position you can have. 1) you have your moment 2) less responsibility 3) you get all the same perks.

Talking about perks the rehearsal dinner was very elegant with a great steak. The brides started of the T(r)oast perfectly with a talk about how "no man was good enough for his daughter" with cigar in mouth and all. He happens to be a lawyer thus he knows how to execute a speech to the crowd better than any. We learned all about how WP was a man by his sports knowledge of Michael Phelps pot and Lance Armstrong's breakfast. We also learned he is an engineer and can fix things.

The wedding went off with out a hitch and might be the shortest ceremony of all time. AP was very excited the entire time as you could see from her almost jumping up and down during both ets of vows and constant giggling. WP on the other hand lost it when she was about halfway down the isle. It seems like the times are starting to change most every wedding I have been to recently the guy has cried more so than the girl. We then booked it to the reception which was very much a party. After a few moments of chaos at the reception due to the overwhelming amount of people and rush for the food the dancing began. The couple decided to do all the pictures up front thus we were able to eat and then dance with the couple through most of the night. They buzzed a way in a limo at 10:30 but this seemed more like midnight because of how tired I was from wearing out the dance floor.

We finished up the trip to Waco with a stop at the Dr. Pepper Museum. If you have never been consider yourself lucky. First of all there isn't much to see there and most of it isn't entertaining. Second of all the Dr. Pepper I had at the soda shop was watered down and terrible. The only redeeming part of this experience is the picture below.
