Wedding

My cheeks hurt. Does that ever happen to you - you laugh so hard for so long that your checks actually ache from all the smiling and laughing?

A dear young friend was married today (er, no, we weren't laughing through the ceremony). It is a joy to see two people so very much in love, and about to start on a lifelong adventure together.

No, the ache-inducing laughter happened between the the wedding and the dinner, as a group of us from church hung out at a table, swapping stories of misspent youth (or in several cases, misspent adulthood). The phrase "hamster powered Chinese parachute from hookers" actually made sense at one point. (conversations are considerably more entertaining when everyone at the table is just a tad hard of hearing)

If a group of people look at one another during church tomorrow and suddenly start laughing, well, just ignore us.
