Goth weddings, goth clubbing

Yesterday was K & M's wedding. Wackiest wedding I've been to yet. The bride wore black, the officiant was the DJ from a goth/industrial/gay club, and the family members looked horrified. But the friends such as the boy and I (who obviously know K & M rather well and are used to them) found it all perfectly in line with what we'd expect.

I'm sure the family just sighs and says, "Oh well, at least they're married."

I liked K & M's ceremony: not religious, short, nice vows, and with a nice spark of originality.

Afterwards there was the reception for the family: food and socializing, but not dancing. I spent most of the time talking with L&A. Obviously they're putting L's Google money to good use -- they have moved into a house near twin peaks in San Fran, are occasionally living it up, and A's going to art school for his MFA. It was really good to see both of them again.

After the reception there was a break of a few hours, and then everyone went to King of Clubs, a gay club in Mountain View. I really liked the club. It was very small, basically just a bar with a small dance floor -- I guess there's only a very select market for such clubs -- and friendly. Larger clubs (from what I've seen) are more unfriendly and suspicious. This place, by comparison, had the distinct feel that most of the people knew each other and were friends. The bouncer remembered you once you went in, so you could go back outside for air. The people weren't trying to hit on you. (Although a cross dresser was kind of interested in the boy until it was made clear that he was with me. ^_^) And I liked the music, a nice mix of industrial. I didn't dance though, because I'm a wimp. -_-

And I have no photos to post. None of them came out interesting/good. =(
