A Wedding
I went to a wedding today. That was pretty exciting. Except I did forget to get a wedding present. Still... no worries hey? And when the bride started walking up the aisle I kinda looked over and was like "hey, either she looks really REALLY different or I got confused and this is the wedding of someone totally different who I don't know at all." Turns out it was the bridesmaid. That was a relief I can tell you.
It was a freaky experience in some ways though, partially because it was the first wedding I've been to as myself rather than as an additional family member. Also because these people were not much older than me, and they were saying their vows, or whatever, at some part of the ceremony anyway, when they say "I take you to be my wife/husband", and the whole concept of them becoming a 'wife' and a 'husband' seemed wierd. I think it freaked them out too, they said that part alot more faintly. I think, actually, that if I got married I would be bound to forget the vows, they are so long, my memory is bad, I am no public speaker, and I think I would have alot to think about at the time. Bound to get distracted. But I was looking at them, and they looked so happy, and everyone was standing around smiling, which should not I guess come as a shock. The bride did look very different: gorgeous and smiling and all that, but she sounded just the same.
So it was exciting event, and I thought I'd share it with you all before I went offline and started to work on my essay, or cooked dinner and watched Dr. Who, whatever I do. Ah yes, here I am on a Saturday night, alone in my house, looking forward to essay writing and t.v. Thinking about marriage- aargh. I don't have to worry about it for a long time, thank goodness. My main concerns right now are to get my essays done, and to get the smell of old socks out of my clothes. Stupid rain, I blame it. Hmmm... bolognese or stir fry? *wanders off*
