Here comes the bride

Well, I kind of missed that part of the ceremony. Okay, I missed all of the ceremony but five minutes. I did not leave town on time and was a half-hour late getting into town. Apparently, I also believe that when one arrives into my hometown that the rules of North and South no longer apply. I went to the North part of town when I should have went South, and there were so many cars on the South Side that getting to the church took ten or fifteen more minutes than it usually would have. But I arrived to see the couple announced as husband and wife, which was nice.

They make a lovely couple and I hope they have many years of happiness. I must admit that when I attend weddings I am cynical. I always wonder how long the marriage will last before they get divorced. I do not want them to split but wish them a long, happy marriage. My point of view is tainted with statistics, celebrity marriage failings, and a negativity that continues to trail with me from adolescence.

I shook my hips, waved my arms, wiggled my booty, and sweated bountiful amounts. I had fun and I even found the courage to ask some guy I've never met to dance. I was turned down, but that does not take away from the progress of me asking someone else to dance. He was incredibly shy also. I heard stories from the bride.

Also, I enjoyed my outfit. I usually tolerate dressing up, but the outfit I had on was more comfortable than pajamas.

Another note, I miss Andrew. :P

I am glad it was fun. Try not to think about Andrew... hard I know, but try.
