My high school friends married early, leaving me, the sole unmarried one of the group. Now with Parthy getting married, I think I may now be the sole unmarried one of the university friend group now. I feel fairly neutral about this statement. In any case this post is more about coming back for what could be the last wedding I attend from somebody in my immediate circle of friends. They had wed earlier on the the Thursday but had decided to host a wedding reception on the Saturday at the Ivy. Great seeing all the group, but also the university crew I haven't seen since, probably university. The Computer Science and Engineering crowd that I haven't seen in years. The group moved to a Mexican restaurant, only to be kicked out and we found refuge in the only place where you can consume alcohol and sleep without anybody batting an eyelid. Karaoke.
The talk of the wedding was however the groom who endured a 50, yes, 50 day water fast. Read, not eating anything for fifty days, managing to lose 30 odd kilos before tying the knot. Really fun wedding, great seeing the group, and people that I haven't seen, hung out with, had a beer with in ages. Really enjoying the trips back to Sydney.
