Friday July 31 2015 we went to a wedding reception. Warning Danielle in a dress sighting!
I hate wearing dresses. I also wore high heels. Me, I wore high heels! Two things I hate wearing. However I thought I looked good. Also I was never really taught how to walk in high heels. I sort lurch forward when walking in them. Who cares I wasn’t there to impress anyone. It was my cousin’s wedding and I haven’t seen her in years. That means I really didn’t know anyone. So what do I care what they think of me.
I have to say this wedding reception was the strangest one I have ever been too. First I thought alcohol was going to be free. Beer is usually free and it was at a distillery. However bartenders were not that great. We got a couple of beers free and had to pay three dollars after that. Three dollars for a little cup of beer! That is ridiculous. While others were getting beer for free and then some weren’t. What is that all about? Also they didn’t have any Tom Collins mix. What bar doesn’t have a Tom Collins drink? Drinks were expensive I thought for a wedding. A bit unhappy about that. Also the food was not good. We had fried chicken which was the only thing that was good. Then some really salty stuffing and the mash potatoes were disgusting. Typically with a wedding they have coffee at the table. No coffee.
Something I thought was really disrespectful came from my own family. Before the dinner they had a woman say a prayer. My sister was laughing during prayer and I know my older brother and his wife are atheists. And laughing as well. They didn’t have to participate, they could have just sat in silence. That made me mad. I don’t care what your religion is or not but be respectful when someone is saying a prayer. Basically keep your mouth shut. Disgraceful.
After dinner there was dancing. And my family and some extended family was there. Aunts, uncles and cousins. We just sat there and didn’t dance. We all looked like a bunch of old people. Sort of funny now that I think of it. We were there for a good three hours and that is all we could handle. They didn’t even cut cake which is a unusual for a wedding to do. It was strange.
Also Jeff and I did something that Corey and Kim do to us all the time. We left without saying goodbye to them. Funny! But said goodbye to everyone else. They were off socializing with people. Oh well!
What I thought was nice is that my cousin Kristin did come up to us and thank us. She looked very happy and pretty.
Here is some pics of the wedding reception.
Whooo! Isn’t my husband handsome!
