Former Warrior/current Maverick Harrison Barnes got married last night, and it was a joyous occasion. Despite having played for only two teams in the NBA, apparently Barnes has amassed a deep crew of various NBA stars to pay homage.

But if you’re sick of all that drama—and are fearing the impending hot takes from what may be no more than a fun little dance off—maybe you just want to drink in this nice little moment from Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle tickling the ivories:
NBA (red) weddings are fun, huh?
