Wedding

This morning, my girl got married. It was a beautiful ceremony. I drove over to the Founders Inn early this morning. The mother of the groom was getting a big plastic bag out of her car when i pulled up in the parking lot. She had a hard time carrying it since she had a drink in her hand. When handed it to me to carry in for her(I offered), I realized that there were 3 bottles of liquor and a liter of pepsi in the bag. I looked at her and she just said "I'm just so nervous, I had to have just a little drink. Little my ass!! It was 9:45 in the morning!! We walked down to the room and my girl had her hair done, but wasn't dressed yet. In all, it was the bride, her mom, the groom's mom, the two bridesmaids, and me. I spend the time helping them put stuff on or adjust stuff. I also took some great photos of all the girls getting ready, since the real photographer wasn't there yet. I asked the mother of the groom for a pepsi while we were all getting ready. When she gave it to me, I could tell right away, there was a lot of rum in it! She also wispered to me that she didn't put that much in it. If she thought mine was weak, what was she drinking?? We had to slow her down a bit since the ceremony was outside in the sun! The entire wedding all went off perfectly. The bride's uncle, the captain of a private yatch, married them. After the cermony, everyone went into the reception. I sayed with the bridal party while they took pictures since I had everyone's makeup. When I went down to the reception, I spent some time chatting with the videographer. I met her the night before, at the rehersal. I probably should had headed straight in, but I didn't know anyone. I ended up seeing J, a friend of the bride's that I met twice before. He said a quick hi to me earlier, but that was it. I think it was because his finace was with him. There are some issues with him and her and jealousy that i won't get into. I ran around for a bit helping out, then I met up with one of the groomsmen's girlfriend. She didn't know anyone at the ceremony either. In fact, she hadn't met the bride or groom yet! So we went and sat together at the table with J and some other people. I met them and they were all really nice. I took a lot of pictures with the bride's camera since she was busy. No Aziza, there were NO single men there. In fact, I don't think there were any single PEOPLE there besides me. Maybe I should have taken Tiff's advice and solicited online for a date. I did have a couple of glasses of wine, but I remained sober the whole time. There we no drunken rantings about being the only single one there. I was thinking about driving to DC tonight, but I'm too tired. So instead, I am at the Bride's house. She is at the hotel with her new hubby. I'm watching Ray and catching up on some blogging. Exciting Saturday night, huh?

*innocent look*

Err...I thought the bride would have made sure the groom invited some single guys as groomsmen for your sake so that you could have some fun. The weddings I've been to usually have a few cute single guys to hang with.
