Jwedding
8/8/2005
Jolly Good! Literally! Er...yeah, so without too much further ado, here comes a blog thingy (oh, yeah, post!). So, I've spent the summer reading the Harry Potter series, and two of Dan Brown's books, as I've already said at one time. There will be an extended delay on the long philosophical post that I promised, or at least, I think I promised. I also managed to balance my check book finally, after spending countless hours across two different days this summer. This balancing followed about seven months of back-logged bank statements. I still am disagreeing with the bank [although they say I have more money :) ], but it's ok because I haven't agreed with the bank on my balance since I opened the damn account. Time to start anew, I think. What idiot couldn't balance their checkbook? Apparently this idiot, yes the one who's life you've been reading about since last August! Onward Ho!
J's wedding took place about a month and a half ago. I attended and non-g/f was my "and guest". Me, being the procrastinator that I am (refer to previous paragraph), bought his gift a few days before the wedding. He received bed sheets from my "and guest" and me. Because I didn't have a ton of money, I didn't buy any gift wrapping paper, and had to have it wrapped about an hour before the wedding took place (talk about your close calls). We arrived at the church out near Mistake Lake Casino, shortly after the wrapping on Saturday the 18th of July. There were many people there and we took a seat in the back pews. I thought that we were the only people that were friends of J and A that were there at first, but then I saw a few familiar faces from the bachelor party. After sitting for only about 10 minutes, the ceremony began. The wedding march was Canon, I forget the key, played gorgeously by a violinist. There were two ministers (I believe that is the correct title) that gave speeches. The first one was very religious about the role of man and wife according to the Bible. The other one was more real, I guess is the best way to put it. The second minister gave a much more uplifting and touching speech in my opinion. After that, the vows were given and J kissed A. I was very happy for them both! Then the wedding party left and moments later the newlywed husband and wife entered and led each and every row out of the church, which I thought was unorthodox for a wedding, yet putting a very original and special touch to their ceremony. We all hugged when it was our turn to leave, then exited the chapel area and greeted some of the people we knew already outside. After I briefly talked with J again, and gave him my map to the VFW for his relative, the non-g/f and I were off to the reception. It was the fastest wedding I have ever been to in my life. We must have been out of the church in about a half hour. Maybe all weddings are that short and I owe to the fact that I haven't attended one in a quite some time and that's what made me think J and A's ceremony was very brief.
The reception, as I said, was held at the local VFW. We sat at a table with Blue Pumpkin's mother, his two cousins, his aunt and uncle of direct relation to his cousins, and a few friends of ours. The deejay was an interesting fellow, he played the biggest mosh-posh of tunes I've ever heard in my life, but I guess he did a fine job. When most of the guests were settled in, the wedding party entered and were seated to some crazy top 10 hit. Next they announced that they would only kiss if people sang a song with the word love in it or one that had to do with love. They kissed only handful of times during the evening. Some other highlights include: two of us at the table kept fighting for the delicious little chocolate wedding-favors. Blue Pumpkins mom was scaring me about my best man speeches for his wedding, I danced with A and J for a dollar, and so did a few other guys. Overall, it was a good time. The food was delicious, served buffet style, and had a southern feel considering the types of foods compiled. After about 3-4 hours, we bid J and A farewell, and drove home.
