My friend Derek wed his sweatheart, Laura, on October 4th. It was a day that reflected who they are...quirky, warm, and engaging. The afternoon began with a field day, culminating in giant tricycle races that fueled my desire to own one of the ridiculous and large bikes. Derek contested the races in a national champion's jersey, true to form. The final race of the day was a relay involving an egg-walk, partner carry, flat change, chair arrangement (presided over by Derek's boss and owner of the Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC...THE place to play if you're on the way up or rockin the top), and bride-and-groom-in-wedding-drag contest. Good fun.
They said their vows beside a lovely lake, with Laura glowing in the autumn twilight and Derek predictably unmatched in a navy shirt over black slacks. Hopelessly adorable, the couple brought tears to our eyes with their vows and vignettes of a life together. 
The Gato looked pretty cute, too.

The evening's festivities were capped off by a Carrburritos dinner and a chocolate bicycle cake.
We drove home on backroads to Virginia, and fell into bed at 2:30. Good times!

My sister was there with her husband, Geoffrey. They loved the wedding olympics - very cool! That's great that you were there!
