On Friday I had a great excuse to take the day off to attend the wedding of my friend, Gina. I met Gina (and Trudy above) over 10 years ago when we worked at Slade’s Restaurant in Springfield Mall. The restaurant (and pretty much the mall too) are long gone but Gina and I always stayed in touch over the years. She is one of the genuinely nicest people I’ve ever had the privilege of being friends with. She was also the most stunning bride I have ever seen. That dress??? From Kleinfeld’s! When Chris and I sat down at our table at the reception, we realized that every other person at our table had worked with Gina at a restaurant in the past. Isn’t that funny? We’re pretty sure the waitstaff at the reception liked our table best. :)
