Gay: My First Gay Wedding...

So I'm currently slated to attend the HolmHansen wedding and I couldn't be more excited. Not only will it be the first of it's kind for me, it'll also be nice to:
1. Get the fuck out of town. Yeah, it's 5 hours away but I'm actually looking forward to hitting the road and spending some alone time with my thoughts and my music. Just like old days! When I think about it, that's one of the things I'm missing: a place to go. Since most times my places to go entail getting on a plane (with all the stress and issues with loss-of-control that go with that) this should be a nice reprieve.
2. Spending time with like minded people, i.e. GAYS! It was refreshing to talk with an attending today who asked my opinion about working with the gay population. John and Chris sound like they're truly happy and I can't wait to meet them and their super smart (and likely liberal) friends. It's at a Quaker house after all!
3. Reunite with my past. I have forgotten where I came from and some of the shit that I've made it through because life is so busy now it allows me to do that. Seeing John and Keelay is likely to stir up old emotions and I want them to come in droves.
4. Connections: While I will make a conscious effort to "not find a husband" as I am prone to do in these type of situations (after which I am sorely disappointed and become more bitter and depressed) I will strive to admire the wonderfulness of people for who they are, not what they could be to me.
Lol, I saw on the invitation information regarding playing in the park afterwards, so I wonder what the dress code is for us...
