We left off with me being pissed with Mike for his
failure to send the ceremony script to our officiant... anger I knew I would have trouble suppressing right away. But it was time to eat. And drink a shit ton of delicious beer. So immediately after my almost heart attack over the ceremony script, we all headed to Wurstkuche for the rehearsal dinner, aka Sausage Fest 2010.
 |
| We all sat at that big, long table in the foreground of the photo. |
After we all got seated and situated, we proceeded to drink beer. By the liter.
 |
| Happier now that I have a beer in hand. |
We then proceeded to devour sausages and white truffle oil fries. It was awesome, and I was starting to feel better. I was still upset about the ceremony script, but I was able to drown my anger in booze. Good idea at first, not so good by the end of the night (more on that to come in the next recap post). So for now, I was in a decent mood, and I was ready to pass out the gifts to the wedding party. Remember how I told you we called our wedding party Team Zissou? Well, let's just say the gifts reflected that name...
Can you tell what the gift is?! It consisted of these three parts:
 |
| Team Zissou Red Beanie |
+
 |
| Beer boot w/lanyard |
+
 |
| Zissou Society Member Badge |

 |
| TEAM ZISSOU IN FULL EFFECT! |
After the gift giving portion of the dinner, something really weird and awesome happened. There was this guy that worked at Wurstkuche who I-shit-you-not had a Team Zissou tattoo on his arm and was wearing a red beanie. At the restaurant. While we were there causing our Team Zissou scene. He came up to us, showed us his tat, and we flipped! So of course we had to take a picture:
 |
| This man did not belong to our group. He worked there. Can you say, "bizarr-O"? |
Then things started to get silly... the table thought it would be funny to pour each of their drink into one cup and make Mike and I drink it. Why? Who knows. But I was game. Of course I was game.
 |
| Me holding the table's drink concoction... |
 |
| Me convincing myself that I will conquer it... |
 |
| Annnnnd me getting grossed out after tasting it. |
|
And then if you can believe that, things got even more sillier:
 |
| one last group shot! |
Next up: Dinner is over and we go out drinking. Heavily. Way.Too.Heavily. Hilarious pics to come with that post, friends. Stay tuned.

ReplyDeleteI know you briefed me on how similar our rehearsal dinner drinking fiascos are, but I can't WAIT to see the pics. I wish I had thought to take self portraits of myself w/ my Mac as I was lying awake at 4 EFFING a.m. in my hotel room. What a sad, sorry sight I was.
