Wedded in Chili Bliss.

February 26, 2011 was a very, very special day for Chili Chat.  If there is anything that could overshadow "National Chili Day", it's the wedding of Chili Chat's own, Lance Crackers to the beautiful Jamie Rominski (now Jamie Rominski-Crackers).  Luckily I had my camera on hand and was able to capture the moment.  But for some odd reason my photos turned out a bit different than everyone else's.  Allow me to explain:

Lance decides his pre-wedding chili was just too damn hot. In an effort to chill his chili, he decided to hang halfway out of the 26th floor.  Luckily I picked up my banana peel from the windowsill just before this photo was taken.

They began their ceremony with a heartwarming blessing of the ceremonial chili bowl.

Followed by the lighting of the unity crackers. 

We all raised our chili filled glasses and toasted to bright futures and a lifetime of healthy chili. 

They danced the night away under the spotlight of the chili coated dance floor. Lance, per tradition, must dip his blushing bride on a floor a chili before the evening's festivities can officially begin.  

Some poor schlub accidentally broke the chili disco ball, shattering it all over the dance floor and more importantly,
the groom's noggin. Luckily there were no serious injuries. The coordinators brought out french bread footies for everyone to wear and the delicious mess was cleaned up in no time!

Jamie was so happy when she realized she was the new Mrs. Lance Crackers, she couldn't help but shed a single chili tear of joy. 

My favorite part of the night?
The tiny-ass chili bowl appetizers! 













I hearby award this wedding the coveted Chili Chat "5 Oyster Cracker Rating".

If the pictures don't do it justice, I must say, this was far and away the best chili themed wedding I have ever attended. Here's to a lifetime of love, happiness and delicious chili for two of my favorite people...
The new Mr. and Mrs. Lance Crackers!
Love,
