Saturday, August 14, 2004, was the date of Bob Zelinske’s marriage to Amaris Chrispell. The ceremony was beautifully set in the Long Grove Community Church, and the reception was held at Mandile’s Ristorante. I was a groomsman this time around, marking three the number of weddings in which I have participated. I must say that I was much more nervous about today that my own wedding, knowing that if I messed something up, I could ruin someone else’s once-in-a-lifetime day. At my own wedding, if I screwed up, chances were I’d be the only one to know. I am also currently missing out on some probably hectically fun times at Alumni Club, where most of the bridal party are participating in some after-party partying. I’m sure Erin, Kelly, Jenny, Justin and Nolan (along with whomever joined them) are having a blast right now. Unfortunately, I just can’t do those things any more. Hell, last night, my last shot at Lamplighter’s was a shot of water. That’s right, plain old H₂O. But that probably made me much less crankier today than I could have been, as I was fairly pleasant today, if I do say so myself So, it was a wonderful day, and I am honored to have been a part of it. This post’s for you, Bob and Amaris, best wishes to you both.
