Men are from Mars, Brides are from Hell: Phillies!!!!!!!!!!!

So today is my first non-wedding related post. I thought the Phillies deserved their own. I headed down the South Philly right from work, which was a small nightmare of traffic but very worth it, to meet Deanna. Why was I by myself you ask? BECAUSE MARCIN WENT TO THE GAME!! That's right, the guy from Michigan - the Detroit Tigers fan at heart, went to the game and I did not. I mean, yes he has become a Phillies fan over the years of living in Philly, but really, going to the game?? I think Karma hit him though, because someone spilled a beer on him. At least the guy bought him a beer in return :)

Chickie's and Pete's was crazy! There were lots of drunk older women, which was highly entertaining. And I have never seen so much big hair, tight pants, and cut shirts in my life - and I have been to South Philly a lot! There was the mom to our left with the Phillies tattoo on her cheek and her mardi grad beads around her neck who danced all night and even attempted to do the Mummer's Strut, but it was not that good. I learned that Deanna does not know the Mummer's Strut, so I will be offering her lessons before the wedding! If anyone else needs them, just let me know. We can take a road trip to my grandfather's because he does it the best :)

So Marcin stayed for the Trophy presentation and Deanna and I headed to Broad Street. I wasn't expecting it to be too crazy because we kept hearing from the news and our friend who is a cop that they were not allowing it to get crazy this year. The city was greasing up lightpoles so people wouldn't climb them!! But at Broad and Shunk it was pretty crazy! I have a video on my phone of it, but I can't figure out how to get it off my phone and on here! If I figure that out, then I will post it later.

It seems like it will be the Yankees against the Phillies in the World Series - they're calling it the New Jersey Turnpike series. One of our bridesmaids, Michele, lives in New York and is a Yankees fan. I informed her today that our friendship will take a break until November 6!

Enjoy the pictures. And here's to a quick World Series, because our wedding and house budgets cannot afford many bar outings. If you're up for watching it at home, come on over to our place - Marcin will make wings!!
