Teresa and John during their first dance
Saturday we went to the first wedding we've been able to attend since James was born. My friend Teresa married her boyfriend of many years at the Bronx Zoo. Teresa wore one of the most spectacular wedding dresses I have ever seen at a wedding I've attended. It was both attractive to her form, and artistically exciting. My theory on wedding dresses is that it should first of all make the bride look good (obviously), but the second most important thing is that it not be a dress you could get away with wearing to a fancy cocktail party because you could wear that dress some other time. Your wedding is your chance to bring it, and Teresa definitely brought it.
The Bronx Zoo was also a really cool venue. The ceremony took place outside in a beautiful garden, and then cocktail hour was inside the Lemur house, Madagascar exhibit. The reception hall was beautifully decorated with flowers and clear vases that gave the illusion of jungle vines, and each table was named for a zoo animal. Congratulations on a beautiful wedding day and on your new marriage, Teresa and John!

I LOVE this! Kevin and I also have laser beam photos but mine is NOT cute.

P.S. My friends Rachel and Tim graciously babysat 1-month-old James, whom they knew from the blog to be a little terror. Just to make me seem silly though he behaved really well for them. Maybe James is just a very polite baby in public, and saves his bad behavior for his private life? James had a great time snacking and sleeping and apparently playing catch with Rachel and Tim's son Isaac. I think their version of catch involves Isaac throwing a ball at James's face, and Tim diving to save James's face from impact. James will be playing baseball in no time at all.

Luckily for everyone, almost 3 year-olds have pretty bad aim, so the ball didn't actually go anywhere near James. Isaac has been giving his balls a 'time-out' when they throw themselves across the room. He's been trying to convince them that they should only roll in the house.
James is an angel - or, more likely, a great actor. Either way, he has fantastic potential. :-)
To paraphrase Kevin, all parents love a boot in the face from their child.
