Thank God That's Over

FTR? avengangle? Your reception was SO much more fun.

Yes, Lisa is now married. Wedding was yesterday and it was lovely. How's that for the diplomatic answer? In truth, yesterday was miserable.
1. Florist didn't bring enough flowers. So, we had a runner take one of the bouquets after a bridesmaid walked and took it to the end of the line. Only, they were supposed to take it from the Junior Bridesmaid. Not... a bridesmaid. So guess who got to fucking stand through the service (at least it was just a quick outdoor thing spoken by the Justice of the Peace) holding NOTHING. Yes, that'd be me. Try to get my flowers back afterwards and the girl who got it, refused. Thankfully, I did get a bouquet. It's... not that I CARED, but I still wanted something from the day, even if Lisa has been a royal pain in the ass lately.
2. Everything was so haphazardly done, it was insane.
3. Didn't get what I ordered. The 'count' was wrong, so was stuck with Beef rather than Fish at the reception. Which, at that point, I was so annoyed it was like what else could go wrong?

The majority of the night was just... blargh. Food was nice and the alcohol flowed (which, for lisa wanting top shelf booze, tell me why there was no Jamesons there?) flowed. It was a nice evening all in all -- with the most fun part being, as SJ's family are all Italian -- they played some tarantellas and invited the Italians up. Dad and I were the only Erie-folk who went up and dancing a la The Godfather with them? A blast. Otherwise? I'm just glad it's over.

Sorry I haven't been around as much the past couple of weeks. I had a few health things (which, they've finally figured out part of what's wrong with me. Insulin Resistant FTL!) happenand then the wedding? So I've been a depressed little Lia. ♥ I love you guys muchly.

And have a couple little ficcy projects that I'm working on too. And, if there's interest, perhaps something a bit bigger. (and no, NOT a big bang before you even think about that!) ♥ Love you guys. You're the best. *smooch*

Seriously? What gives her the right? Was she more special than you?

Now, given, my reception managed not to have the vegetarian plate for Erica, but she wasn't ONE OF THE BRIDESMAIDS.

Yay for figuring out SOMETHING!

Now that that's done, can I see you before you leave for NY and I leave for Minnesota?

Florist didn't bring enough flowers.

A similar thing happened at my brother's wedding last fall; the florist was supposed to supply the ringbearer's pillow and forgot it. So we told my eight-year-old son (who had been very much looking forward to carrying it) that he'd just have to pretend the rings were in his pocket* and walk in pillow-less. He did, and he looked perfect, but later he told everyone about the pillow being forgotten.

*For safety reasons, the best man kept the rings. No one wants to risk a child losing the rings.

Did Lisa and her husband enjoy the wedding?

I'm so, so glad that everything's over and life can (hopefully) start getting back to normal(ish).

I'm always interested in your fics, but I'm more than happy that things are settling down for you, boo. ♥
