An “ultimate” wedding day

July 3, 2008 at 4:51 pm (wedding)

I’ve always assumed that the day of the wedding – any wedding – would be spent ironing out last minute snafus (not to mention wrinked shirts), rehearsing the wedding party, and trying to keep nerves in check. We did indeed have a rehearsal early that morning. It had to be early, you see, because the next scheduled event was a game of ultimate frisbee!

Yes, it was “the brides” versus “the grooms” in what Ben proclaimed, with complete accuracy and utter lack of hyperbole, to be The Greatest Sport Ever Invented By Man (and there’s even a book to prove it!)

This is what Ben, Erica, and Company got up to on Friday June 20: ultimate in the morning; nuptials in the evening!

The girls (and boys) in their summer dresses

Nonstop action!

Ben, in a disposable suit (Where did he get that thing?) He literally cut pieces of it off as the game progressed!

Erica, in an old prom dress. She looked gorgeous, of course, despite trying to look scruffy.

Little Quinn had as much fun as the grownups!

The game over, traditional team pictures were duly taken.

Great fun was had by all, in the delicious, invigorating air of beautiful Jackson Hole.
