Yesterday was also somewhat appropriate as it was another friend’s birthday and a wedding of a couple other dancers. Both are friends, but not super close, and so it matched.

The wedding was probably the most creative wedding I have been to. I believe it is my 6th wedding.

The bride and groom are both gymnasts. The groom is actually an instructor, and I’ve heard a very, very good instructor. His groom men came out doing backflips (literally), and he did one himself.

They were also very good dancers, ballroom, swing, blues, everything. They had to dances with choreography they had been working on for months, and it looked so natural and so beautiful, it was great.

They also brought out a bunch of gym mats, the type you do tricks on. The groom had a team that he takes all over the world to perform, and the bride had made choreography for them to perform. It was absolutely amazing.

While we were watching and listening to toasts, a friend of mine brought to my attention that there were six tumbling coaches in front me. I had expressed a few days before that I wanted to learn how to do a back flip (back tuck). Just very interesting coincidence and helps express how unique of a wedding it was.

Finally, the garter toss came around. All the guys formed a circle and the groom made us cheer and yell for it. I had two guys in front of me, but I’m quite small. It’s pretty hard to vie, in the air, with someone is 30 pounds heavier than me. I usually just hold my ground and hope it falls through. Hadn’t worked to date.

So, he finally throws it backwards, but throws it about half the distance between him and the crowd of guys. The two guys in front of me literally leaped for it, they touched and rolled to the floor.

The garter had conveniently landed behind them. No body else moved and the two on the floor hadn’t found it yet, so I took a quick jump and grabbed it right before one of the guys on the floor found and tried to get it.

My first garter! Wasn’t caught, but apparently I’m getting married next?

Anyway, after that my friend and I took off. There was dancing at Downtown Disney (and Disneyland). We caught up with a bunch of our friends from SLO (San Luis Obispo), and danced the night away.

We had some amazing experiences, including getting caught trying to get tickets to go into Disneyland (at like 10 at night for the dancing, which we didn’t want to pay $60 per person). They simply told us to stop trying or buy a ticket.

Definitely a fun day and night.
