Connie and Sol's Wedding

Sunday night my friend Connie married her fiancee Sol in a GORGEOUS restored Victorian house on the bluffs overlooking downtown St. Paul.  Let me START by saying that Sunday night is an AWFUL, CRUEL time to get married (since WORK looms large and ugly for MOST of us the next morning), and let me continue by saying that this was the SHORTEST ceremony I have ever attended.  In total, with vows, and the exchange of rings, it lasted A TOTAL of NINETY SEVEN SECONDS!!!  Seriously.

LUCKILY, the rest of the evening was spent at a LAVISH dinner, prepared by the bride and groom, in the tent-draped attic of the house...TOTALLY cool!

Here are some photos of the adventure...
