This will feature prominently at the next party I throw. Maybe we’ll just put a big piece of butcher paper on the wall and have people draw in their own weird connections…

This was created a few years ago for the wedding of Andrew Enright and Heather Samples. They gathered some of their favorite stories about the attendees of the ceremony and used them to illustrate their connections. I think this is a neat idea for a wedding because it’s not only a good way to seed conversations between previously unacquainted guests but also a fairly accurate representation of the way loosely affiliated people naturally learn about each other.

Side note: this is officially the first entry in my mental index of “neat wedding ideas.”
