congrats, meg and vomas!!

2Pz friends meg and thomas got married a couple of weeks ago. a little story:

five years (almost to the day) before this photo was taken, which features the now ubiquitous "VOM" face, our little thomas was visiting his friends in new york city. we took him to the tennessee alumni bar to watch what i believe was the first game after we moved here. needless to say, we overdid it.

in a particularly raucous moment, thomas lost his composure, and, well. he vom'd into a plastic cup. just a little. but it happened. he calmly excused himself and went to the bathroom to properly dispose of the cup. he is now and will forever be known as "vomas". the end.
