Love is in the air

Congrats to Jesse and Noah, at whose wedding reception I was honored to sing yesterday afternoon. It was perhaps my favorite wedding gig ever -- the setting: a relaxed backyard barbecue -- and my favorite moment came when it was time for Jesse to toss the bouquet. Just before she did, she flashed me a devilish grin and showed me that inside the lovely arrangement of wildflowers she had tucked a freshly roasted weiner.

There was the traditional lunging of women for the bouquet, then an intensely comic moment as the victor realized just what she had caught. She did a double take and, without missing a beat, stuffed the weiner into her mouth.
