Subtle or not, I think you're right in focusing on the good of the day, not the sad of that moment. (Our Ted and Andy's wedding was better, anyway.)
I'm glad to do it. Good food (I presume), at least one person I'm very fond of, and a celebration worth noting. (Besides, you came to Jun's birthday, and that was after you already knew that Ash was prone to, shall we say, digging.)
