Greetings Glutards! So as some of you may have seen on the That’s Glutarded Facebook page on Friday, I officiated a wedding ceremony this weekend. Now, I am not ordained in any fashion. Our friends were already married back in December and they wanted a “unique” ceremony just for all of the family and friends. That’s where this glutard stepped in. Or, should I say, hobbled in…
Yes, I am on crutches. Yes, I do look damn fine in a suit. No, I did not wear the hat for the ceremony. Unfortunately, I had a terrible encounter with some ice the day before the wedding and ended up in the emergency room. My ankle was not broken, but I wasn’t able to walk on it so I had crutches for the wedding weekend. This meant no “Gangnam Style” for me.
Get it, boys…
Besides my little wobble, the wedding went off without a hitch. Our friends Ed and Ang were so incredibly happy and enjoy my very non-traditional ceremony. A little tip of you all, you can never go wrong by quoting from The Princess Bride at a wedding. It’s definitely a crowd pleaser.
A few tips for a glutard to survive a wedding:
1. Enjoy the bar situation. Keep in mind that rums, tequilas, potato vodkas, sakes, and wines are all celiac safe. I joined my grandma in a rum and coke with olives. Trust me, it’s pretty good. Also, the olives make it look like it’s staring at you!
2. Hit the buffet…HARD! Avoid the dinner rolls and load up on your proteins and vegetables.
3. Finally, skip the wedding cake. Even if it is a dense vanilla cake with a raspberry swirl. Don’t give in. That cake is the devil!
Although I couldn’t spend the whole time on the dance floor, I definitely had a blast. Congratulations to Ed and Ang. I wish you both all the happiness in the world, and thank you for letting me be part of your special day. 
Glutardedly Yours,
~Tim
