Pass on my congrats please. Looked like a hell of a good time and she looked great.

It's the shorter hair and the total inebriation that make me so unrecognizeable, I think.

In fairness, there were about 30 noncontiguous hours in which I wasn't thoroughly blotto, but they're much less funny.

"There's a man going around town
Spreading lies
He's the bad businessman
Does his business while he can
He just does his business bad."

It should be mentioned that Kris wasn't actually mad or even very inebriated during that video clip; he was just joking around. He had taken a lot of drinks that day, however. :-)

I didn't realize it at the time, but apparently I wasn't supposed to be there when I took the photo of the four of them seated and holding bouquets. The lobby was getting crowded, so like a number of guests, I just wandered around the building. I happened into the open room where they were getting their official photos taken, and the photographer was preoccupied for a moment, so I asked if they wouldn't mind posing for a shot of my own. Everything seemed fine until I overheard a comment that "it's getting crowded in here" and found the curtain closed behind me when I left. I didn't even know I was unwelcome in the room, let alone mean to barge in like that. Now I feel lousy whenever I see that photo.
