OMG JOEL'S GETTING MARRIED?!?!, Part 2: The Reception and Beyond

Now that Joel was unable to escape, we might as well party, yes? We drove into Helen, GA, which was in the middle of its nationally known Octoberfest. There was a lot of traffic and people. The reception was in a room in a German Inn/Bar.

Joel has the COOLEST GROOM'S CAKE KNOWN TO MAN! It combines his two great loves: Star Wars, and Sugar:

Brockman got the garter. AGAIN. He's up to, what, three of these things? Ellery, though, is unimpressed.

Joel and Kacey cut the more traditional cake. They were far to well behaived when it came to feeding each other. Ah well.

So, um, there was a LOT of champagne there. A LOT. Which we took as a challenge, consuming I think about 12 bottles in our table alone. Ellery does his part:

Then out to the balcony for some fine smokables and even more champagne.

After this part, we said farewell to the happy couple, and suitably blizted, immediately came upon an incredible idea! PIRATE MINI GOLF!!! It was RIGHT NEXT STORE! Here, Chase shows Jon proper club handling technique:

Attention Valor Guild Members! This is the Picture I was supposed to send out months ago! I am sorry! Please stop Ganking me now!

Yar!

Climbing Mount Gonnagetthrownouttatheplace, Brockman had a little Captain in him. Well, more than a little:

We ended the evening in a pizza and beer joint, watching us some football. From the left: Scotty, Ellery, Mike, Paul, Christie, Chase. Not seen 'cause he's passed out under the table: Brockman.

It was a long drive back the next morning, but then again, it was a long drive down. We still managed to find amusing local oddities to entertain ourselves with. Here, Ellery enjoys an intense, refreshing Climax (TM)!!

But once we saw the Big Butter Jesus, we knew that we were close to home! Hooray!
