This should be my last ECMA post--ChartAttack report on Ashley MacIsaac's wedding.

1) One of the folks I was with got into the main room just before the ceremony, and gleefully came back saying (as reported in the linked story) that when the Justice of the Peace asked whether anyone knew of any reason these two should not be married, a drunken voice somewhere in the crowd bellowed, "Fuck, no!"

I love weddings.

2) Outside the room and near us were a couple of middle-aged men, one of whom remarked sentimentally that he's known Ashley all his life and he was a good kid, really. "He always treats people nicely." Pause. "Weirdly, but nicely."

3) Also, and this has nothing to do with the wedding, the coat check at the Cape Breton showcase consisted of coats dropped on the floor in piles--one in the middle of the floor, ours were over by the wall out of the way. Apparently you can trust a crowd of drunken Cape Bretoners.
