We’ll be up in Delaware for the wedding for our good friend Duke and Lauren’s wedding; but unlike every other trip to Delaware ever, we won’t be staying with the parents or siblings or friends, we are staying in a hotel.

I really like this plan.

About 8 years ago, Duke and I flew out to Nebraska for our friend Rich’s wedding. We had a blast, and decided that was in no small part due to all us fun guests staying in the same hotel together for the weekend. When you get all these fun people in one place for longer than just the three hours, but overnight or for a weekend, all in a celebratory mood, it can not help but become something memorable.

We agreed that we push for that for our own weddings.

Selena and I did more than push, we sort of forced this issue by having the wedding in the Keys. And we have been told it was pretty memorable, so the theory still holds.

As of tomorrow all the usual troublemakers will be descending on the DoubleTree in Wilmington for the wedding weekend. I have little doubt that this wedding weekend will prove the theory right again.
