It's garter time - escandaloso! - posted at 02:17

As I've said before (and will probably say for the rest of my life), our wedding reception was so much fun and went by so quickly that so much of it seemed like a total blur - especially those traditional wedding bits like, oh, you know, having a man stick his hands up your skirt in front of all your closest friends and family, removing an article that could arguably be called some kind of underwear, and throwing it to all the eligible bachelors in the crowd so they can fight over it like a pack of wolves.

Maybe it's a good thing that that part was a blur!

But really, despite the yells of my brother of "HEY! That's my SISTER!" and the mortification that I'm sure my Dad was going through, Cory was really very gentlemanly about the whole affair, opting to use the hands instead of the teeth, and keeping the skirt down by my ankles.

Having retrieved his prize, he faced the small handful of bachelors in the room (it was a pretty small wedding) and after letting them scuffle about to establish their superiority, slingshotted it over his back. Jeremy was the lucky man, and everyone seemed pretty happy about that except for my brother Brian instead preferred to make this a one-in-a-million shot:

And here's the lucky dude himself.
