A Return Visit to Wisconsin for a Wedding

by Greg on October 7, 2009

I recently had the opportunity to make a return visit to the State of Wisconsin, the state where I was born and raised. The reason for returning to where I grew up was due to the fact that my younger brother Steve was getting married to his fiance and long term girlfriend wife Amanda on October 3,2009.

The wedding was a very fun time and near perfect experience. Everything fell in to order perfectly with essentially no flaws. I had never really been to a wedding before and the ones I had been to, I was not paying much attention. But for this wedding, I had the honor of being the best man which was an entertaining experience to say the least. I was taking on roles the were completely foreign to me not just as the best man but also just being part of the wedding party. It was very interesting to see how everything came together.

After the wedding ceremony, the wedding party rode a bus throughout Waukesha and Milwaukee taking pictures along the way as well as stopping at some local establishments :) The wedding reception was also something knew where I had to give a best man speech in front of everyone. The entire experience was one that I enjoyed and am happy that my brother has found happiness.

In order to view wedding pictures of the event, you can go to Wedding Photos and find the Amanda and Steve’s Wedding slide show. As pictures become available, I will also post links to those.

After coming in and out of retirement the past couple of years, Brett Favre has done it again and this time signed with the Minnesota Vikings division rivals of his former team the Green Bay Packers. I spent the first 22 years of my life in Wisconsin and since the age of 7, Brett Favre had been the Green Bay Packers quarterback. Watching him has always been a thrill for me and I would have to say that he was probably my favorite Packer growing up. I still have his jersey that I got in 1995 for Christmas and have worn it out to Packer bars in Arizona.brett

Brett playing for the Vikings is something that has troubled me for a while especially since he was my favorite player growing up and I still consider him one of the most fun players to watch. My fan allegiance is to the Packers, but as a player I love watching Brett Favre play the game of football. Even last year I enjoyed watching him play for the Jets, there is just something special about him on the football field.

My point of view on Brett playing for the Vikings basically comes down to this. I am a Packers fan and always will be. Brett is my favorite player and hope that he does well. But when Brett is playing the Packers during the regular season or in the playoffs, I will not be rooting for him to succeed. In the unlikely event that the Packers do not make the playoffs, I would be rooting for Brett to get another Super Bowl ring. When he no longer plays for the Vikings, I would not wish the team to do well.

I believe that the media has blown out of proposition his retirement coming in and out and that he has always wanted to play. I think ESPN just needs something to fill the broadcast with to draw the attention of viewers. Even with all his off the field drama though, I still enjoy watching him play the game of football and will be cheering for him to do well, just not when he plays the Packers. What do you think about it? Comments?
