Igor's Wedding: Jordan Almonds

Jordan Almonds are "one of the grossest wedding traditions ever" according to my wife.

Bill, Carrie, and I all played 'hot potato' and kept trying to drop the gift boxes of them off on someone else.

I eventually tired of the game, but Bill kept trying to sneak them onto Carrie's plate all night! At one point, I pretended to drop one in Bill's champagne flute. We laughed, and then Carrie dropped one straight into mine.

There was a a moment of paused silence until everyone started laughing.

The gross thing: the damn thing made the champagne fizzle and turn white and froth the rest of the night.

I don't like champagne, but the toasts tasted extra off that night! Most people would poor it out, but I've never been one to let a joke die (plus, I may have been trying to make my wife feel a little guilty for poisoning my flute when I was trying to come to her rescue!)

It was a fun and silly night.
