“My wife is from Seattle. So we planned the wedding in Seattle in January, so we knew it would rain. There was no “I hope it doesn’t rain.” We decided, It’s going to rain. Let’s make sure it rains. Let’s just plan it to rain, and then we won’t be disappointed. And it rained. Thank you, God…. [The priest was] actually someone I went to college with. He’s an old friend of mine…. And so, he did a nice ceremony, but he also worked some jokes in there, which was a little strange.”
