Groom's Dinner at The LexingtonStepping back in time.... Our first big social event after our own wedding was the wedding of Tomkin's friends Jen and Mike. He performed the ceremony, which was held at the beautiful Minnesota History Center on April 26th. We went to the groom's dinner at The Lexington on Friday the 25th. I've been wanting to go there--it seems very cool in an old-school kind of way. We had great food and drinks, and I enjoyed meeting the bride and groom and their families. I also had fun talking with the wedding coordinator, Amanda.
The wedding itself was gorgeous and elegant--and very different from ours. It was big and fancy and all very well-coordinated. (They had a four-page timeline for a five-hour wedding!) The ceremony was short--about ten minutes long--and then we had a chance to grab a drink before the sit-down dinner started.
After dinner, the bride and groom changed clothes and performed a traditional Korean bowing ceremony in front of their parents, which was really beautiful. Then we all danced to the Minnesota Jazz Orchestra. That was so much fun, and I love getting to dance with Tomkin!
We did swing dancing, latin dancing, ballroom dancing, and even a polka. After the wedding ended at midnight, we headed to Eugene and Katya's house for a post-wedding party and then headed home. Amanda and I had so much fun talking that we made plans and got together for lunch. She has dogs, so we're hoping to have a dog park date soon.

You said you and Amanda had a good time talking -- she was really probably just listening to you yammer as you have been known to do!
