Still dunno about my hair. Ugh. Tragedy.
Went to my cousin J's wedding this weekend. I think I looked pretty bad come to think of it.
I hate the length of my hair right now, I look like a rather unattractive little boy. Yuck.
Anyway. I am doing better. I think. I am trying to not think too much.
Oh wait, forgot to talk about J's wedding. Talk about tragic.
Ok. So it was meant to begin at 6:30 Sunday night. OK. I was at work all day and then when it was twenty minutes before C was going to pick me up, I ran home to shower, curl my hair and get dressed. I wore my little black dress. Is that not appropriate for a wedding? It wasn't morbid looking though and it has some bling on it. Safe right?
But it was short. Oh dear. I don't do short. I didn't look tragic though. I hope. Whatever.
So by 6:30 hardly anyone is there and the bride is no where to be found. Panic.
J seemed to get nervous.
So at some point the auditorium is filling up. Yes, not a church despite him being a pastor's kid. Just a weird ceremony thing that was like a reception merged with a wedding mass. So awkward.
The boys looked hot as usual. I was dreading Mo being there. He is the guy I dated a year or so ago. Big mistake. Stupid, stupid girl. I knew he would be there though but for the first hour or so he wasn't.
So everything was impromptu. They had no plan. Oh black people why?
Stephen said they had a rehearsal but nothing happened there and they had no idea how it was all going down. Ay!
So everyone was basically there and no one had a clue where the bride was. Finally around ten minutes to seven J FINALLY looked at his phone and saw that his wife had been calling him nonstop forever. Idiot. Lol. I suppose he was nervous.
Apparently their kid (ya, I know) had had health issues. Somehow he swallowed a penny. Not kidding. So they had spent the day at the doctors. Their wedding day.
Then the bride's dad shows up but none of the rest of the bride's fam is there yet cause they are with her. The dad had like six glasses of wine, one after the other. Just chugging that alcohol so by 7:15 he was more than just a little pleasantly lit. He was talking kinda crazy, it was funny.
Then FINALLY she shows up but she has to get dressed and all that and there is more delay. The wedding started, the dj's were horrible and their sound system was busted so it seemed really choppy. And finally the wedding part was over and
we had dinner.
Dinner was awesome I must admit. I had one glass of wine and I was done. Not drunk or tipsy but I had a headache, hence the no drinking rule I live by now. And guess who showed up? Mo. Well he had been there since before the ceremony started but we didn't speak as much. During dinner I was stuck at a table with my cousin Stephen and his girlfriend of nine months whom he ADORES. He is so in love with her and treats her so well and she loves him. They were not all over each other but they were sweet and you could just sense the love. Made me ache a little inside to be honest. But it was sweet.
I want to be happy for everyone else on the planet who has someone to love but I can't. Am I selfish like that? I mean I don't mean to be but I can't enjoy their happiness when I am in misery. Maybe I am selfish. Hmmn. Far too young for this but far too old not to at least worry a little.
Anyway. I felt like a HUGE third wheel. And then Mo shows up and sits next to me. I have to admit I was grateful for the company and flirted a little. I'm sorry it is my nature. I like attention.
We talked like acquaintances and it wasn't horrible. It was actually quite nice. Would I ever consider him again? Not on your life. Just not my cup of tea you know? I see that now. Absence makes the brain grow smarter sometimes.
The wedding was..... a wedding. The electric slide. Drunk father-in-law. Cute couple with a kid. You know, typical. Lol.
The funniest bit though came when the dj's got to a certain portion of the play list. My cousin J does not understand that a wedding is not a club. He picked the music. It was fine at first, all sappy love songs and even some Lion King and Aladdin in there. Awkward. But then we got into the hard core rap. Straight thuggin it. And all the white people got up as if by command and left. It was rather tragic to be honest. I thought it was funny. It died out around 11-ish and I went home to sleep.
Fun times. Fun times.
Thats all for now.
