Aftermath

(Post consummation) WELL so it appeared that the day for dear brother of mine and his newly wed wife went off without a hitch. Well, not quite. But I believe that was the intention behind the ordeal, so I'd say everything's alive and well. Save for some largely overused cameras. The event was heavily covered by photographers and family alike. As you might notice in the photograph below, multiple camerafolk indulged in their shooting techniques simultaneously. Poses were taken from all angles--and so were shots.

Should you ever be enrolled in Photography 101, bring this one to class for bonus points in your research project on paparazzi photography and sneaking side shots. Otherwise, you can check out the wedding party for Dave's and Sarah's wedding as pictured here.

"Well, they say when you marry in June...

...you will always be a bride." (Seven Brides for Brothers) What a shame that my brother in blood is not eligible for the timeless title! His wedding day falls the first weekend shy of June, the 26th of May, two thousand and seven. But the fact that Dave will never forever personify an everlasting bridal gown is the least of his worries in what should be anti-anticipation for the upcoming date.

Last year, a particularly bad superhero movie hit the theatres on May 26th. This movie, helmed by Brett Ratner, was the third to a couplet of artistic efforts from filmmaker Bryan Singer. However, this third installment utterly disappointed. X3 (or XXX) took a stand, buckled, and fell flat on its face. Terrible film. So it seems that Dave has disappointment to contend with for his special date, but it doesn't end there.

Also last year on the same date, the 2006 Java earthquake killed over 5,000 and left over 200,000 homeless.

Then to cap things off, Augustine of Canterbury, an archbishop, died on May 26th, 604. An archbishop. Church wedding. Hmmm...

So here are the D's: Disappointment, Destruction, Death. Dave may show determination and dexterity in pulling this (among other things (refer to X3 symbolism)) off, but will the good D's deliver enough to outdo the bad D's? Only time will tell; but the fact that Dave's not eligible for that timeless title at the top of the show doesn't seem too promising.

Will history repeat itself? Tune in shortly after May 26th to find out!
