Notes to go with it:
At 41 to 50 seconds -- A shot of downtown Svihov. Look how quiet it is. And that's a highway that runs thru the middle of town.
57-60 -- The big structure is the government building for Svihov -- town hall, post office, tourism office, etc.
1.02-1:25 -- Where most of us stayed, the Pension Svihovsky Dvur.
4:05-4:13 -- In the background, one of Petr's corporate vans. His company is named Svihak Lazensky.
4:17-4:20 -- A medieval style group that provided music at the reception before the wedding and during the wedding.
4:33-4:36 -- Jitka and her father entering by the castle's back gate in Petr's new car.
5:37-5:39 -- Petr's mom.
6:05-6:12 -- Kevin arriving late and near death after sprinting back to the hotel to retrieve his passport (which was required of best men. Who knew?)
6:29-6:32 -- Am still near death.
9:17-9:20 -- Dion and Amy's daughters from L.A.
9:38-9:52 -- Strange Czech tradition involving a bib.

12:38 -- Night is growing long. Greg Hencir's shirt tails have come out.
12:43 -- Still later. For some reason, Greg Hencir's pants have now risen up over his calves.
13:16 -- Background song is Svihak Lazensky.
14:34 -- Fellow on the right who needs a shave is Petr' cousin (Maria's brother).

16:17-16:26 -- Older guy with grey hair, cut-offs, and lime green t-shirt is our van driver from Prague who got caught up in the spirit of things.
16:56 -- Half the band (which has been drinking all nite) says the hell with it, abandons instruments and start dancing.
17:18 -- Banquet wait staff says the hell with it, abandons duties, and start dancing.
