I just had a weekend to rival The Busiest Weekend Ever, and like the last, it was well worth it. This was the weekend of Mrak and Sarah and all the events that made up their wedding.

Friday night was the bachelor party, and as you can imagine it was pretty crazy. We started the night at Genki, a local sushi restaurant. I’m not a huge sushi fan, but I do like the fried items and I have to say that the wonton and spider rolls were great. Soft-shell crab, yum. Lots of food, drinks, and > $600 later we were done and off to the next location. Without getting into too much detail, and for the safety of those involved, we hit a few of Mrak’s favorite ATL spots before calling it a night. And by night, I really mean morning because it was late, or early. I’m pretty sure everyone had a great time. The night for Robert, Cam, and me actually ended with us hitting the Majestic Diner for a little old school late-night egg and cheese sandwiches and patty melts.

Sunday was the wedding ceremony at The Temple, followed by the reception at the Grand Hyatt in Buckhead. One moment that stands out from the ceremony was Sarah’s brother, David, singing “Till There Was You”. David is a music major in college and recently auditioned for an opera in Minnesota (if I have any of those details wrong, my apologies). He did an excellent job.

Again, great food and drinks were had by all at the reception. I’ve never been to a Jewish wedding before, but I have to say that I am a fan. The dance where the bride and groom sit in the chair and everyone lifts them up and down was very exciting. The reception ran until 11 or so and then some of us found a local bar that was open late to finish off the night. Another highlight of the night was the opportunity to hang with former ATLiens Adam, Melissa, Cam, and Roz. It was also great to get to know a few of Mrak’s out of town friends that I had only previously met a few times before. So, big ups to J.P. (the best man), Justin, and Lee.

Mrak and Sarah are both very good friends of mine and I am so happy for them. It was great to see so many amazing people come together to celebrate with them. So, congrats to the bride and groom, and best wishes for a happy life together.

Photos from the events of the weekend can be seen here on flickr. flickr appears to be acting up again today. Hopefully this will be resolved.

In closing, you might be thinking that this doesn’t sound like a very busy weekend. Well, you’re wrong. You see, on Saturday night I had another bachelor party to goto for another friend. Two bachelor parties in two nights, ah yeah. But, more on that later.
