Groomsman, Garter Grab
After I came back from Whistler, BC, I stopped by in Oregon, where I had the pleasure to be a groomsman at one of my best friends’ wedding: Justin married his Karen.
It was a lot of fun, though I didn’t imagine it being so complicated to get married in this country that you need to rehearse the day before. 
Of course, the other guys wanted to set me up to catch the garter, but I got miraculously saved. Needless to say, this is the 21st century, so it’s on youtube:
From my “exchange student” point of view, I have to say, this gave me much deeper insight into American society than any other event I attended here (and I’ve been in the US for a while). It is sad most exchange students have to miss out on this.
PS: I’ve officially worn enough pink that day to last me well through my twenties!
