The Wedding
Jul 1st 2007
I was too exhausted last night to post, but as I've been mentioning, my Sister's wedding was yesterday. And if you're wondering why I'm posting this on a Sunday morning at 5:30 AM…I just awoke with a cramp and can't go back to sleep…blah.
The day started for me with breakfast with the groom/groomsmen at the bowling alley. They have really good French Toast apparently. Anyway, it turns out my aunt Terry is also waiting tables there now. She snuck up behind me and whacked me with a menu. Ow… After breakfast, back to my place for a bit so I could entertain my dad after he got kicked out of the house (the bride and bridesmaids were using it to get dressed.) We ended up playing a little Madden 07 on the Wii and then got all dressed and headed over to the church.
The ceremony was cool. I had to help usher people around. We had a bit of a problem to start off with since my entire family pretty much showed up at once, so we ended up having like 8,000 people sitting on the left hand side of the church and nobody on the right. There wasn't any restrictions as to bride/groom side at this one, but that's how it ended up working anyway. Thankfully more people showed up to even things out…
The notable thing that I can remember from the ceremony was when they kissed for the first time, my cousin Matthew yelled out "Ewwwww!!" That had everybody in the church laughing.
After the ceremony we went over to the town park for pictures…lots and lot of pictures. Standard stuff. Of course then we went over to the fire department and did some pictures with one of the fire trucks since the groom is a volunteer firefighter. Then we rode around in the limo for a bit and headed to the reception, which was also fun. The food was really good, especially the salad. I need to know what dressing they used on that. After that the other groomsman kept going out for "bathroom breaks" where "bathroom" really means "alcohol" and "break" is another word for "shots". I didn't participate since I didn't really want to get drunk.
Overall I had fun, despite the fact that it was really really hot in the Tux. It was cool seeing some of the people I knew from High School again after so many years.
Rehearsal, Plus Pizza
Jun 30th 2007
The rehearsal for my sister's wedding was last night. It turns out I don't have to do much of anything which is handy because I don't need to remember much of anything. Just making sure people get seated properly. Ok, so I'm a bit worried about that…
After we all went over to the groom's parents place and had pizza and hung out for a while which was fun. Highlight of the night might have been when my Sister actually got my Dad and I not one…but two slices of pizza, and drinks. I was surprised, but I wasn't going to argue…
Today's plans include breakfast with the guys, then headed back to my parents to get dressed, then off to the church by 1pm
Uneven Arms
Jun 29th 2007
I went with my parents last night to go pick up my tux for my sister's wedding on Saturday. It seems that one of my arms is longer than the other one, so they had to take the coat into the back and alter it slightly. I'm a freak.
While I was leaving I bumped into one of my friends from High School (and middle school too actually), Joe. I didn't have a heck of a lot of time to talk since we were trying to get to dinner, but I'll be seeing him tonight and Saturday too considering he's in the wedding as well.
Tonight is the rehearsal, followed by pizza at the groom's parents house and then the wedding is on Saturday.
Busy Week…
Jun 25th 2007
I figure I should probably make a post again since I haven't posted in 4 days. I'm feeling a lot better at the moment. My nose is all unstuffed at the moment but I'm still coughing quite a bit unfortunately. Work faster antibiotics, FASTER!
My MacBook Pro is still in for repair, unfortunately. As of right now the part is still "on order" like it has been for a week. Hopefully it starts moving because I'm really starting to miss it. Not that I'll have the opportunity to go pick it up this week anyway.
My sister's wedding is happening this Saturday, so in addition to my two nights a week class commitment, I need to go pick up my tux on Thursday, go to the rehearsal on Friday night and then the wedding is on Saturday. The only semi-open time I'd have is on Tuesday night which isn't looking real promising at the moment. Hopefully it'll be done by Sunday so I can pick it up then.
Wedding Report
Oct 21st 2006
Just got back from my cousins wedding reception and, contrary to how I thought the night was going to go, I had a blast.
The Wedding was kinda boring…long. Lots of sitting and standing. Not being an overtly religious person, I’m not too fond of long drawn out ceremonies, but I guess this one wasn’t as long as it could have been. As the priest said, it could have been a wedding mass instead of a wedding ceremony…
The wait between the ceremony and the reception was kinda long too. I went over to my parents house and played StarFox Command on my Nintendo DS to kill time.
Then the reception. Lots of fun stuff. My parents and I were split up at two different, but neighboring, tables. My cousin set up this table specifically so all the troublemaker cousins could sit together and we had a blast. We had a candle war with my parents table with the centerpiece candle. It started since their candle was blown out when we got there. But after the waiters re-lit it, my cousin Heather’s husband Scott went over and blew it out. They then swapped candles with us so that we had the unlit one and they had a lit one. Then they got up to hit the buffet and they gave their candle to some friends at another table. We bribed them to blow it out…and got ours relit. Fun times.
More fun stuff happened, but I’d be typing all night if I typed it all out…so you’re going to have to just get by with that.
Oh, just one more thing. We were the only table with Red Hot and Ketchup. I didn’t realize you could ask for that stuff in a reception setting 
QotD: Weekend Plans
Oct 21st 2006
What are your plans for the weekend?
Today I’m going to be spending most of the day at my cousins wedding/reception. Fun! The ceremony starts in the afternoon and the reception starts at 7 or something. Going to be a very, very long day.
Sunday I have no real plans at the moment, but I’m sure I’ll think of something soon
QotD: Here Comes The Bride
Aug 20th 2006
What was the last wedding you went to? Were you in the wedding?
The last wedding I went to was a couple years ago. My Aunt finally got around to getting married to, well…I guess he’s my uncle now 
They’ve been together for as long as I can remember, but finally got around to tying the knot a couple years back.
The next wedding I’m going to is my Sisters wedding next year. I think it’s in July…too far away for me to know the exact date already.
