Tonight was a very special event as we were invited to attend the wedding of my department chair's son. Things began with a ceremony in the church, and then the wedding party proceeded to a posh hotel. By 11 PM, most of the folks from the wedding were at the reception and it started to get very lively, with a DJ and video cameras recording everything and displaying it simultaneously on a large screen. There was dancing and much fanfare and ceremony about everything. At 1AM a sumptuous dinner buffet was served. Our energy gave out at about 2AM, so unfortunately we left before the Russian dancers got there.
