Surprise

Over the weekend I was invited to an engagement party. The bride-to-be is the boyz regular sitter, the person who comes over to feed them when I'm negligent in my duties and am away from home. She also happens to be Diego-san's favorite person in the world.

For awhile there she and I discussed maybe getting a restraining order against Diego because every time she visits he all but mugs her (with affection).

The party was at a nice pasta bar near the University of Minnesota. The groom-to-be stepped up to the mike when the band was between songs and thanked us all for coming noting how nice it was for so many friends and family to be gathered. He began to joke about the wedding date because it wasn't announced and then decided he should wait until his bride-to-be (who was nowhere in sight) was around so they could announce the date together. He went to look for her and when they returned they were all decked out in wedding clothes. They brought out a justice of the peace and were married. It was quite the surprise and kinda cool.

Of course I was a bit reluctant to tell Diego-san what happened.

PSSSST: He'll find out this weekend when she comes over to feed the fellas...Pssst.

That's a good one! I like surprises and simplicity in weddings.

I am sure Diego will be OK with it.
