Are you ready for lots of pictures? Because today, I met up with a bunch of friends on Cleveland's public square to watch my friends Bob and Amy get married on bicycles. Yeah, my friends are way hip and are down to have cool weddings that most people would be too scared to actually do. I'm proud of them. I guess a lot of people were proud of them actually, because they made national news and lots of people wanted to interview them. This was a great opportunity to jump into the background of shots with the best man. I probably took way too many photos of the ceremony, and I'm going to post a bunch now because I like them.

Stay classy.
They like looking at each other (which is a good thing if you're about to get married).

Aweee.
Bob is way serious about Amy being happy.
Kissin' scene.
Look, they're married now!
I'm pretty sure the guy pulling the rickshaw should have been Asian.

Here's some random unrelated destruction if all the wedding pictures were making you feel too fuzzy.

Their wedding coincided with the monthly Critical Mass bike ride. If you don't know what that is, the few hundred people left in Cleveland that still own bicycles (and epic beards) get together to stop traffic and take over the streets. I didn't do a good job of showing how cool this part was, because I was focused on riding after learning from last summer not to do that while trying to take pictures...or very bad things happen.

After splitting off, we stopped at this gallery so I could take pictures of my friend's pictures before going to the after party to eat cupcakes. Nicole was a little bit interested in the cupcakes. She also had to take on the hard job of drinking with my friends since I was driving and there was a "No shots for Alex" policy in effect (she performed admirably). This concludes Bob and Amy's wedding (we think?). My cat Sienna says "Congratulations!"
