Our First Anniversary

Here's the top portion of our wedding cake. We kept it for the year and sat down to enjoy it, only to find that it had turned to frosted cardboard. I think the tradition of keeping and eating your cake on the 1st year anniversary was meant to drive home the point that after that first year, everything in your marriage turns to frosted cardboard.

I thought it was a beautiful and poignant metaphor.

Taryn hit me.

I was just joking.

We spent our night at Teatro Zinzanni. It's right on the waterfront in S.F. off the Embarcadero. Think Cirque de Soliel, Cabaret, Beach Blanket Babylon and Burlesque all rolled into one, with a 5 course dinner to boot. The place was incredible. Insane, but incredible. I don't think we stopped laughing from the moment we sat down till the show ended some 3 hours later.

Here's Taryn in the lobby before the show started. She's standing in front of some crazy musical contraption. The thing took up an entire wall.

And here's me with full-on fat laugh face and Shakespearean attire. I was one of a lucky three selected to compete for the part of Romeo to Ms. Christine's Juliet. It was quite the interesting dating game. And Todd, think back to One-Week-Early at SOU. Yes, it was way crazier - and much more embarrassing - than that. I sang "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" in falsetto. I played naughty musical chairs with plenty of gyrating and grinding. And I picked the erect sword from the bunch to win my "prize." So I acted out a scene on stage with Ms. Christine here, then fed her grapes on the float that was rolled through at the end of the show. Taryn was laughing so hard she almost peed herself. (The guy from the other couple sitting at our table was so wasted I think he did pee himself) As you can clearly see in the photo, I was laughing pretty hard too.
