"I feel like Erin [our photographer] didn't have the right filter on the camera," I said to Katr yesterday as we browsed through our newly-arrived wedding albums over a glass of eggnog.
"The filter where we each only have one chin and weigh 100 pounds less?" replied Katr.
"That's right. The filter where I don't look like a plump fuschia sausage."
Ah well. We may have LOOKED like a couple of well-dressed sumo wrestlers with fantastic hair, but we FELT like queens. Queens!! We had amazing family and friends come from near and far to perform, participate in and celebrate our Gay Wedding Cabaret and Topiary Festival and we are still awed by the love! And by the outfits. And by how extremely good-looking all our friends and family are.
For all you hard core gay wedding fans out there, Katr will be posting our vows, the ceremony, the program, the vendors, and, most importantly, the thank-yous, on her gay wedding blog (we're still updating - check back for a link!) Photographistas Lex, Melle and Sherry have already posted their photos and we'll be adding ours soon on Flickr. If you have some to share, be sure to tag them with "topiaryfest07" on Flickr so that we can find them.
I now present a random selection of photos from the big day.
The venue - cabaret ready!
"Fucking awesome cake, man." "Thanks, Dad."
The wedding party ("A lady reveals nothing!" "Yeah . . . we're not ladies." )
Creampuff brides (I'm the plump fuschia sausage on the left)
Katr's fabulous hair!
My fabulous parents!
Lesbians! (for some reason, 85% of the lesbians in attendance at our wedding are in this photo. FYI - Misu, the lovely young lady in the pink strapless number is gorgeous, yes, but I believe she is straight. So hands off, you queers!)
Finger guns!
You can't see my hands here, but you can tell by my face that I'm totally doing finger guns.
Opening number
Our first dance (an audience participation line dance to Barrett's Privateers choreographed by Sam Booker)
An excellent example of appropriate gay wedding attire
Ditto
Dancing!
Drinking!
Dirty dancing!
Taking it all in
Ass!
Okay - that's about all my little blogging software can handle. Next - more ass! Or maybe the honeymoon!
