The Third Pirillo Wedding
28th Mar 2006, 04:37 GMT
We traveled to Plano, Texas this weekend for the wedding of my brother (Ben) to his fiancee (Amber) on Saturday. It was a simple ceremony in a quaint Methodist church somewhere on the edge of town. Had it been a Catholic ceremony, we'd still be there genuflecting our collective asses off (and still be going to hell for it). The couple wrote their own vows on top of the classic verbiage, which added a nice touch to the proceedings. I was Groomsman #1, with Adam (the other Pirillo) taking on the role of #2, and Amber's brother assuming the #3 position in line. Methinks the Pirillo clan frightened her family a bit - and I probably should've undyed my hair before heading over there (but the red waves aren't very obnoxious at this point). Still, everything seemed to go off without a hitch. They decided to hold the wedding reception at the local "Swinging D" ranch - with free blended margaritas for everyone. We danced, we played, we talked, we mixed. Amber's father informed me that this was the first time many of his family was meeting his wife's (Amber's mother's) side of the family, too. Can you guess which family was the loudest? Ponzi appreciated seeing my family again, if only to gain further insight into my idiosyncrasies. Yes, she still thinks I'm crazy - but she understands a little more "why" when we meet up with my blood relatives. Adam and Eugenia (his wife of Ecuadorian / Venezuelan heritage) were looking just as sharp as they were at their wedding, too. So, that's... two brothers married, one more to go... this November. Corollary: I miss my family, and wish we were living closer to one another.
