Congrats to Mr. & Mrs. Gilman!!!

I spent the past weekend in Narragansett, RI to witness my best friend from college - Gilly - get married to an incredible girl - Carolyn. Yes, those of you who know Gilly, you heard me right - he's married. For those of you that don't know him, this is he:

Narragansett is a cool little beach town just over the Connecticut border - nice beach, good eats & a real solid nightlife. Thursday was just the family and the wedding party for rehearsal and rehearsal dinner - lots of fun! The highlight was Mr. Gilman acknowledging Jon & Carolyn in his speech at the dinner and us realizing that neither were present. He stopped, waited, and moments later they each came out of the bathroom - classic Gilly form. And no it was NOT the same bathroom...

The wedding was on Friday at a spot called The Towers; a beautiful venue right on the water.

Here's the beautiful couple:

Carolyn, why the hell did you decide to marry Gilly???

The only negative about the entire weekend was that it was 102 degrees on Friday and this old building wasn't air conditioned!!! Wearing a three piece suit (as Gilly had picked out for the groomsmen) was not fun. Several members of the bridal party sweat through their entire suit - believe it or not I was not one of them.

Tulane was obviously in the house!


It was a nice quick ceremony (which included a bagpiper - pimp) followed by an awesome reception, and then we headed to a cool bar right next door for the 'after party'.


Guys, quick, do something gay if you're having fun (look how hard Doug is trying...)


Saturday was AWESOME! The day went: Bar - Beach - Bar - BYOB Restaurant (in a schoolbus they had arranged) - Different Bar (in schoolbus) - Hotel Bar (in schoolbus).
I do not have a single picture from Saturday because from the hours of 11am - 1am I did not set down my drink long enough to operate a camera.

Great wedding! Great Weekend! CONGRATS CAROLYN & GILLY!!!
