We had a co-ed wedding shower/potluck thingy yesterday, which was hosted for us by Holly and Melinda. Good fun. There was a relay race involved. We also played the toilet-paper-bride game, the twist being that the "brides" were all men. Yeah.

The highlight was looking up and seeing my mother putting fake boobs on Dave. That might go down as the best moment of my life.
