Another friend assumed her place in the ranks of married life this weekend, and I was happy to be on hand to share in her joy by drinking too much in the best town in America.
While I've known for many years that Athens is a special place, it's true that absence makes the heart grow fonder and after many months of missing it, I was so happy to have a non football season excuse to go back. I've always believed that life is a series of lessons, and we're here to collect what we can from every experience, so the following are a few things that Athens taught me or reminded me this weekend.
1. Booze really does taste better when it is Athens priced.
2. Sundresses and flip flops are appropriate attire for all situations.
3. A meal with my girls at Last Resort can make me happy no matter what else is going on in life.
4. Weddings are better with mariachi bands and sombreros.
5. Arranging for transportation to the church, reception and back down town so you don't have to have to go back to get your car in the morning = priceless. Three cheers for the Game Day shuttle!
6. Going to a wedding without a date almost always ends up being more fun.
7. Having pokey sticks delivered after last call is the stuff dreams are made of.
8. I should never challenge groomsmen's fathers to tequila shot taking contests, as evidenced by this photograph.
Congrats to the newlyweds, Mr. & Mrs. Noah Goodwin. Special high fives and winks to the bride whose new monogram, V.A.G., will give us a supply of jokes that should last at least until we celebrate her 50th wedding anniversary.
