The wedding.(aka, excuse for long ass post)

Saturday, May 28th, 2005 | Uncategorized

In the morning I went over to Josh’s apartment. We were all supposed to meet and hang out before the wedding. Well everybody wanted to play this stupid Star Wars board game. Obviously I am not really into it, but I did not complain since it was Josh’s day.

Somewhere along the line Josh ordered pizza. He ordered the most expensive pizza that they make, but because of it only ordered 1 pizza. There were a bunch of guys over there, so that seemed kind of annoying, since me and the rest of the guys had agreed that despite Josh’s wishes to pay for it, that we would pay for it instead.

Since he forbid this I took a collection for it when he wasn’t paying attention, this one pizza cost $20 bucks, and all of us only got 1 ½ pieces, for which I was collecting $4 from everybody to pay for. Worse yet is two of the guys gave me the “I owe ya” for payment, so basically I paid $12 for 1½ slices of pizza. Mmm.

Ok stupid subject, moving on. We were supposed to be at the church at 2:30 for pictures, now mind you the wedding was not until 6:30. After we stood around doing nothing for over an hour we decided to all go to Frosty Freeze for some ice cream. We figured this would piss off the brides maids, but we got back and once again had to sit around for another hour.

Luck for everybody, I was one crafty mofo who decided to bring a deck of cards, and saved the day… YEAH… We finally get the pictures taken and then have to sit around again. I suppose it’s cool, since I don’t get many chances to wear a tuxedo.

So eventually the wedding actually happens. We had to stand still for a LONG time. I thought my feet were gonna get pissed off and walk off they hurt so bad. Not to mention all the songs they had somebody sing during the wedding. She sang some version of the lords prayer. Only I don’t remember there being 4 verses to that prayer….

Well it got done, Yeah, Yippie, Congratulations (and all that jazz). So we could finally go to the reception. Now it was all the way in Watertown. Which is already a long ways away. Well we were supposed to be following these people to there. However the lead car thought they were smart and decided to take a LONG detour.

Hey don’t get me wrong, I know all the back roads too, but there is a time and a place to use them. The detour was at least an additional 12 minutes to get there.

The reception was held at Elk’s Lodge. It’s a club kind of like Lyons etc.. We had the whole building, the reception was on the top. Now this bar has never heard of real beer. I could understand if just Josh choose to have miller and miller lite for free beer since he does not drink. However the bar did not have anything else on tap. It was very strange.

No matter, I am adaptable, so I drank the miller lite, and then I drank some more, then at some point I found it easier to just get pitchers. LoL. If you have been reading my blog at this point you would think I am an alcoholic. However this is not the case, in fact I really don’t drink that much, and I try to avoid going out to drink as much as often. But when In Rome….

I guess I was kind of flirty tonight. In fact I rather enjoy acting this way. It was a combination of alcohol and the confidence of wearing a tuxedo that I looked damn spiffy in. However I think I will try to act like that more often.

I even hung out with and danced with a girl that I really liked. I gave her a business card, but was to much of a chump to get her phone number. She said she would definatly contact me, but I could have just been percieving things to have gone well. Lets say I won’t hold my breath, but I will be happy if she does contact me.

All in all I had a really great time. So great that I decided I was not going to drive home again, and wasn’t even going to get my car from the church where it was parked. So it’s another night of crashing on the spare bed and not sleeping well.

When I got back to Nelson’s house I drank like 30 cups of water, not wanting to be hung over the next day.. Especially since I seriously did not eat anything since the afternoon ice cream. No, I did have one brownie or something off of the desert table at the reception, but that was it.

So yet another friend is now married, in this case Thank God. I mean seriously, this friend REALLY needed to get laid. Though I felt bad when he went to buy some condom’s. I mean I believe she is on the patch, and both being virgin’s. Well… 1, they probably won’t have that much fun, and 2 the condom won’t help that any. However they are so pent up that any sort of release ought to be good for them.
