A man named Pep gets married.

It was Jon (a.k.a. Pep) and Tamara's wedding today. They were married in Vondelkerk, a former church near the park and an immensely beautiful little place. Matt and Suzi played a John Lennon song, the one everyone plays at their wedding, and Brendan Hunt did bits while they went through about a half hour of paperwork that is typically done at Dutch weddings. Not only do you have to sign papers as the wedding couple, but they all have to be confirmed by 4 different witnesses and so on. This country loves its paperwork.

Then we went to the Film Museum, where we had drinks and poffertjes, which are these little tiny silver dollar pancakes covered in powdered sugar and butter and a little syrup. They're pretty good. It was kind of an amazing post ceremony toast, as it was sponsored by Bailey's. Seriously. Bailey's was all over the place, and we toasted to it. The invitations, made to look like a postcard filled with photos of Amsterdam, Boom, the Vondelkerk, and with Pep and Tamara in the center, showed a quite prominent Bailey's bottle in the corner.

That's Boom Chicago. Even the weddings are corporately sponsored.
