The first wedding was a solo trip for Brian. One of his friends from Sig Ep was married in Wisconsin in May. Many of Brian's other friends from Sig Ep also made the trip up for the wedding, their girlfriends did not so neither did I. From the stories I have heard I think they enjoyed their guys weekend.

On May 31st Brian Gentry was married in Scott City, KS. Where??? Scott City, AKA the middle of nowhere. This time I made the trip solo because Brian would have had to take off work to go. Scott City is 5 hours from Valley Falls in the southwest portion of KS. I drove back Friday (5 hours) to my parents house and stayed the night. Got up early (for a Saturday) and rode to no mans land (5hrs)with Mom, Dad, Mak and Jeff. Went to the wedding and reception, both were nice. Reception was pretty fun...especially after some bottles of Arbor Mist. Woke up early (for a Sunday w/ a hangover) and rode back to my parents house (5 hrs). Was chased back to STL by a big storm Monday morning (5 hrs).
Brian and I have talked about what a culture shock it would be to live in VF again after having been in bigger cities for the last 6 years. Having experienced RURAL KS - land where trees refuse to live it is so bad - VF seems like a metropolitan city!! You just cannot believe how barren and flat the rest of the state is until you spend a weekend there.

Last weekend we were in KC for another Sig Ep wedding. Brian was an usher in this one (the groom, Ben, was an usher in our wedding last summer). The wedding and reception were in Overland Park. Makenzie now lives in Olathe and was just minutes from both of the locations so we crashed at her house. We got into town on Friday afternoon, Brian went and picked up the tux and we went to the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Saturday Brian had to be at the church early so Mak and I hung out and played Guitar Hero as well as after the wedding while killing time tile the reception. This was a unique wedding, Catholic/Jewish combo, and despite the fact that there was double the religious material to cover the ceremony went really fast. Brian was excited because they got to do the Jewish chair lifting at the reception. It was a fun night and weekend hanging out with Makenzie, wish we could have stayed longer but she was probably ready to get rid of us. Thanks Mak!!!
Beautiful cake!
"chair lifting thing" Brian iss near the bride's right foot, he said it was kind of hard because her dress was in his face.
