Another Big Gay Weekend.

You know, back in middle school when you had to run the mile, and right around lap 5 or 6 - you started to lose track of where you were and settled into that meditative pacing or just running? But then once you realized you were on lap 8 - and you could see the end of the finish line where you could finally bend over your knees, wheezing in agony, white particles crusting up at the corners of your mouth and grab a drink of warm water from the barely used ancient water fountain at the corner of the gym - it started to hit you about how far away the end of the lap was?

I finished my 8th lap this weekend. Which is a nice way of saying, I went to my 5th and final wedding of the year after we opened Rocky Horror on Friday.

Bratz and her lady finally decided to make it official; but since they currently live in Florida, they wanted to come back to SF to have the ceremony and at least be legally married by California standards. So they were married on Friday in a wonderful civil ceremony performed by a friend of ours who actually works for Gavin Newsom (man meat) at City Hall, and then invited about 50-60 people to a luncheon at the Women's Building in the Mission.

The Audre Lorde room was a wonderful, marigold painted room with white wainscot and molding that was a beautiful fall foil to the decor. Food was fantastic, Bratz's family friend is a chef at the Hilton and he offered to cater the event. So we had:

Cocktail hour: Melon balls in wine, chicken wings, homemade farm pate with blue cheese on country toast, charcuterie plate, crudite plate, dolmas, smoked salmon on rye, roasted peppers on crostini, shrimp cocktail, tapenade stuffed cherry tomatoes and the most amazing fried cheese and potato ravioli (that were closer to pierogi)

Main course: Roast beef with boiled yukon gold potatoes, green beans, spring mix salad and au jus.

The caterer even carved a huge ice sculpture himself with a chainsaw! Best of all, the couple looked amazing. Bratz has been through a couple of relationships with other girls, but her LadyKay is the first one that we've all collectively liked and thought was a good match for our endearing friend.

Congrats Ladies on, what I bless to be a fruitful and long marriage.
