Doughnut Shop Wedding

Ever wonder what a wedding would be like if it were held at a doughnut shop?
On Monday, Adam called me up with the news that he and his fiancee Sally were
planning to push their wedding up to Wednesday, and one of the places they
could get was Voodoo Doughnuts downtown. So on Wednesday I put on a pin stripe
suit and rolled up at the doughnut shop with camera. After a while of standing
around outside looking weird, the owner(?) of Voodoo pulled up in his delivery
go-cart, put on a bright red jacket, and after he conferred with the bride and
groom, the rest of us went inside. The ceremony was odd enough, with the
owner declaring himself to be called "Cat Daddy", scribbling on the floor to
signify bride and groom uniting, and standing underneath a giant plaster
doughnut that reminded me of Treehouse of Horror IV. Vows were exchanged,
the two were married, and rock-paper-scissors determined who would be the
signatories to the marriage certificate. Dinner afterwards was at La Bonita,
a taqueria in NE. Joachim, the guy behind the counter, realized that we were
a wedding party and raced home to get his guitar, with which he serenaded us.
