Key West is a wonderful, wacky and immensely creative place and as such it draws some of the most fascinating, talented, fun and artistic types to our wonderful island community.  So when two of the most pivotal and influential creative geniuses united in matrimony, we just knew that it was going to be one of the social events of this or any season and we were certainly not disappointed when our friends Morgan and Marky were married..

Kathy and I had known each of them separately well before they ever got together and each was a key component of the cultural and artistic renaissance that Key West has been experiencing for the past decade or so. Perhaps it was inevitable that two such amazing people and friends would end up together and we could not be happier for them.

We did not attend the wedding itself, it was a more private affair held at the Audubon House and Gardens and there was no way that a couple as immensely popular and well-known in town could have possibly accommodated the throngs that they might have invited. We were happy and fortunate to be invited to their reception which was held at General Horseplay and was one of the more magnificent parties in recent memory.

 





Marky is a co-owner of the bar and he and Morgan went all out to see that the wonderful crowd of friends, family and revelers had an amazing time celebrating their happiness. It wasn’t the amazing food, libations, entertainment, dancing etc. that made it such a monumental experience, but the people who were in attendance. The incredible cross-section of our wonderful island community was on full display with the wonderful crowd of family and friends who were on hand.





Marky and Morgan seem to know everybody and there were so many of our friends on hand, it was just a special feeling. Not only that, but certainly due to the kind of people that they are, their friends and family all seemed as equally as charming and interesting as they are and everyone meshed so well that it was tough to know that we all had not been lifelong friends. That is a truly rare and special experience at most weddings, where people tend to stick around those they already know.

As incredible as their wedding party was, it wasn’t even the only awesome party we attended that same evening. In fact earlier, we had the opportunity to go to our friend Graf’s birthday shindig where he had come up with a creative, brilliant and fun way to celebrate, by hosting a cupcake competition. He invited guests to bring at least six cupcakes, be they savory or sweet to compete for the title of the best cupcake. 

 




What a freaking genius way to ensure that the party would have an incredible variety of wonderfully delicious cupcakes in addition to the already sumptuous variety of food and drinks already on hand. It worked like a charm as guests each brought a selection of delightful cupcake creations. Kathy created a yummy caramel/ snicker filled cupcake to go along with the dazzling assortment that others showed up with.






We had to sadly depart for the other awesome party, so we were not able to stay and see who won the cupcake awards, though in my mind everyone was a winner as we all got to partake in a yummy cupcake feast. We are just so happy to have such amazing friends and to live in such a special community where creativity is celebrated.
