Halloween Wedding Party

Well, my last post was a gripe about Halloween, but there was a decidedly positive spin to it as well. My neighbours Carrie and Leah decided to host a Halloween costume party, before going out on the town.

As a group, we went for a 1980s wedding party. Carrie and Dan went as the bride and groom, Matt and myself as groomsmen and Kendra and Leah as bridesmaids. We added a couple of "fathers" of the bride and groom due to their outfits. Matt, with the geeky glasses, is in my class as well (so is Kendra - the others are not). We were a very slick looking bunch. And, for those of you who remember my birthday a couple of years ago, I finally got the opportunity to employ my pink suspenders. I won't tell you that I also wore this outfit to school on Monday (we have to dress "formally" on Mondays, so I thought I would push the envelope) and Wednesday (we had an "Academy Awards" of sorts for our year-end video projects...more on that in a subsequent post).

The place we went was called the Blue Door (my parents and brother will remember it from our dinner out), with all proceeds going to a charity operating in Havana, Cuba. Had a good time there. I keep forgetting that drinks can be cheap - they have specials here all the time, like in Manitoba. Not like Ontario were the drinks always have to remain the same price!

Because the 28th was the night the clocks went back an hour, we had an extra hour out, so most of us didn't turn in until pretty close to 4am old time. But it was a very fun evening. If your interested, more photos are available here.
