I just got back from Eton and Ang's wedding reception. What a day it has been. It all started with the wedding ceremony in the afternoon. The service was led by Pastor Randy Hein at Lambrick Park Church. (If I recall correctly, he was the youth pastor that came with us on our grad trip (1995) on the S.A.L.T.S. trip.) The ceremony was short and sweet, with a Christ-centred talk about marriage. It was quite nice. In my opinion, nothing is more beautiful than two committed Christians married, fortified in the solid rock of Christ. I think that is one of the greatest testimonies and examples of the love of God.
The reception was held at McMorran's Restaurant off of Cordova Bay Road. It was a buffet style dinner, and there were a lot of goodies. They had lots of salads, salmon, shrimp, mussels, clams, pasta, roast potatoes, and mmmmm roast beef. I also had a piece of cheesecake for dessert. Very good meal, thanks very much for it Eton and Ang

.
I joke that this was another informal grad class reunion as ~20% of our grad class was at this event. It made the entire event that much more special and fun. The Bulks were the life of the party as usual

. During the dance, it was also entertaining watching this one kid bust a bunch of moves as if it was the last night on earth.
I remember the first time I met Ang at
Dave's farewell party last October. When I was at the party, Eton told me that he was going out with Ang, and I was like, WHAT?!!, you have a girlfriend? When did this happen!? I also remember the two of them made a very good greek salad, and I remarked to Eton that Ang was definitely a keeper. I'm glad it all worked out.
In either case, best of luck to you Eton and Ang as you move to Calgary and start a new life. I'm sure you'll always remember Victoria when the winter hits. But hey, there are a few advantages with living in Alberta. Firstly, every man, woman, and child gets an oil revenue stipend of +$1,000. Secondly, you're completely surrounded by conservative-minded people. Keep in touch.
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing day with me. It is a good day to be alive. Somebody else better get married soon, I'm itching to play paintball (this is our standard bachelor's stag party event).
Cheers
