On a very hot day in August, Ben and Mikey gathered their friends and family in the clean, cool space at The Whim in Northeast Minneapolis. The heartfelt ceremony included a soil ceremony, tear-jerking stories about the couple, and music provided by a professional violinist. The violinist continued playing into the cocktail hour where guests were invited to play skee ball, take photos at a photo booth, get their portrait drawn by a live sketch artist, or head downstairs to the lounge and play video games. After dinner, dancing was kicked off by a mother-son rendition of Fat Boy Slim’s “Weapon of Choice” á la Christopher Walken. I was impressed. The evening was capped off with more highly energetic dancing and singing. If their wedding was any sign of what’s to come, Ben and Mikey have a very loving and fun life ahead of them.
