So, as I updated you yesterday, I had to work this past night starting at 1 AM. I don't think in my past updates that I had included the reason for this late night of work, but now that the event is over, and because most of Boston already knew about the event anyway, it's alright for me to share what was going on at Fenway Park yesterday. While this may not seem like a big deal to many people, the owner of the Red Sox, John Henry, got married yesterday. He'll be turning 60 later this year and he married a 30 year old woman; pretty unbelievable. Anyway, considering he's one of the most well known people in New England, this wedding was highly publicized and considered by most to be unbelievable.
Anyway, the two were married on his yacht, and then after the wedding, the couple and around 400 guests were brought to Fenway Park for the reception. Like the concerts at the stadium, flooring was put down in right field, and a huge tent was constructed. The inside of the tent was unbelievable, with huge chandeliers, beautiful flower arrangements, and pretty much anything else you can imagine for a high class wedding. There were also plenty of famous people at the wedding, including Seinfeld writer Larry David, NASCAR driver Carl Edwards, and MLB commissioner Bud Selig, along with others. One of the neatest things though, along with the first band and a killer DJ, surprise entertainment for the guests was the popular band Maroon 5. Needless to say, Fenway Park was the place to be last night. We worked after the reception and just saw the tail end of the party and the initial breakdown of the party tent. After a few random jobs, I ended up leaving work at 6 AM and grabbed a quick breakfast wrap at Dunkin' Donuts before crashing for a few hours when I got back to the dorm.
I spent most of the rest of the day lounging around and watching baseball, whatever good movies we could find on TV. I'm off again tomorrow, so I'm gonna chill one more day before heading back to work for the week, and then we host a 10-day homestand starting Friday. Things should pick up again soon!
Hope everyone is having a great Sunday. I forgot to write it yesterday, but yesterday marked the halfway point of my time here in Boston. The first 7 weeks have flown by, and I'm excited about what the second half brings. Love you all.
