Congratulations are in order to Bonnie and Justin on their wedding this past weekend: May they find peace, safety, and acceptance in each others arms from this day until eternity.
I seem to get lucky at every wedding I've ever been in. No! Not like that. But, I'm always finding myself in the wedding escorting a very attractive bridesmaid on to the ceremonial platform. She and I even joked about it and did our posed for the cameras that would have been pointed at us if only we got the publicity we deserved. Eat your heart out People Magazine!
I spent the majority of the after-party watching another guest and wondering how many drinks it would take before he decided to punch me. Thankfully, he acted honorably and ignored our bad blood. I had to drive a beat up Honda with one headlight shoddy breaks and the suspension of a bounce-house several miles down the freeway some time after midnight in order to get a drunk and belligerent guest back to his hotel room. I spent the majority of the trip trying to decide if I was more afraid that the car would fall apart under me or if the police would pull me over and I would have to say, very truthfully, "It's not mine, sir, I swear.", because I had no idea what was in that car but I certainly had my suspicions. The smell sort of gave it away. Despite these complications the after-party was a blast. Justin and I sang our usual Indigo Girls tune, Jess and I sang "One Week", as we usually do, I sang "Pencil Thin Moustache" with TayTay, and I even sang "Patience" nearly by myself after Justin forced the microphone in my hands.
