What a weekend...My rugby game vs. Dayton was over around noon, rushed home for a shower and a quick pack...headed over to Brimelow to watch the Wolfhounds play, wait for Casey and then it was off to Cleveland for a 4.5 hour trip. We had both played rugby so we went the whole way with no pit stops except for stopping at BP about 30 miles out of cleveland to change. First time I ever got ready for a wedding in a BP bathroom. It was exquisite!!
The wedding and reception was held at the Ritz Carlton in downtown Cleveland! So nice! Actual TOWELS in the bathrooms...(although it was rumored that Rory and Richard still found the class to start a towel "whipping" fight in the mens room) one of those deals. I told Andy that more laundry will be done for his reception than we've done in the last two months. Here's some hot mama's draped over the piano.
Let me guess what you're thinking. "A bunch of old OU rugby players get together for an open bar...certainly could lead to some debauchery, but they would definitley try to behave themselves and avoid things like shooting the boot in a five-star hotel!!!"....You'd be wrong though....Here...Kevin Reilly administers Rory's punishment for what I dont know...One might guess that drinking beer out of your shoe is SOMEWHERE on the Ritz-Carlton's forbidden list, but we never saw it:
Staples (a moniker given after a rugby injury warranted, well, staples in his head) comes over to check on David, Alisa & Stacy....obviously 7 hours of open bar service and 4 hours of breaking it down on the dance floor finally got to them....WOULD WE POSSIBLY BE ABLE TO PULL OFF A SECOND PHASE OF THIS RECEPTION BY GETTING KICKED OUT AND HEADING TO A BAR???
Of course we would!! Stacy, Alisa, David, Me & Sarah's sister Kate throw down a few more beers at the MAP ROOM. We look MUCH more awake than we really were.
And Last but NOT LEAST... Mrs. & Mrs. Surly-Philly!!
Philly & Tammy traveled all the way to a Mountaintop in Maine for their commitment ceremony. Would I embarass them and tell you all how they met? You bet I would...these two found each other on a Xena Warrior Princess fan site and have been together ever since!! They've been loyal Cincy-Dayton & Now Cincy rugby teammates of mine for almost five years and I love them both dearly. Segal traveled with them and a what looked like an incredible feast was had with Philly's family - saw you opening the gifts - I want that jalapeno cornbread served in that big dish...its lovely!!
Have the awesomest Monday - and feel free to post any noteworthy details from either ceremony.

Okay I have to admit when I first saw this pic Seagal took, I busted out a giggle because it totally looks like an Olan Mills pull down background scenery! I swear it is real scenery.
God, we look so GAY...there is WAY too much tartan in that pic!
:P

Yeah, when she Philly walked out in plaid I thought "well, now we no she's not faking it".
