Worst Wedding Ever
This weekend, my suit got crazy action. I had a wedding on Saturday, and a viewing on Sunday. The viewing was for my friend/former coworker who died last week. It was sad all around, but the saddest part was when I met his daughter (probably about 7 or 8) and told her what a good man her father was, and she reached into a bag and handed me a homemade dream catcher (I think that's what it is) made of popsicle sticks and yarn. Apparently she made presents to give to the people who came to say goodbye to her dad. That pretty much broke my heart.
Even sadder than that was the wedding that I went to on Saturday. I wasn't going to post about it in case the bride was a lurker, but I'm not all that close with her and if she's been lurking, she probably knows who I am and hasn't bothered to come out of lurking which makes her a dirty sneaky spyface, and god hates a sneak, so up yours spyface lurker!
The wedding was fine. Plain old church wedding. The reception was at a restaurant in Chinatown, and was a traditional Chinese banquet, 12 courses. Most of the courses came with eyes intact. The bathroom was disgusting and the venue was far too small for the number of guests invited to said gift-grab. It was a beer and wine reception, which would be fine, but you had to fish your beer out of the trash cans full of ice at the front of the venue, and after we finished the ONE bottle of wine placed on our table for the 12 people sitting around it, we were told there was no more. I was about ready to leave when we were told that, but I found a case of wine hidden under a table and after that, my table had an endless supply. (the wine was brought in by the bride and groom, so I was not stealing from the restaurant).

Lordy. Grow some balls and stop lurking. It's like stealing from the internet. Jesuschrist. -- AudreyHorne

Re: Worst Wedding Ever
That was really long.
To sum up, went to a really crappy wedding where there was too much yucky food, not enough wine, and too many people and nobody cleaning the bathroom. And I'm now quite sure that I don't like the taste of eyeballs and am not too keen on jellyfish.

How sweet of his daughter! I think I would have crumpled into a weepy heap on the spot if I had witnessed that.
You need to stop going to every wedding you're invited to. You must teach Jimmy to learn how to say no. Except you should come to my weekly vowel renewal. Be sure to bring a nice gift.

That would have done me in right there. Such a sad situation.
Maybe I don't have a heightened sense of smell, but I've never smelled any vagina on my pants. -- TSD

That choked me up just reading it, Groomz. She sounds like a sweet little girl.
I'm imagining the wedding like the Chinese restaurant scene of A Christmas Story. But that dinner was fun.
The other thing that bugged was that there was about 90 minutes of speeches, all about the father of the groom, and what a pillar of the Chinese community he is, and what a great family he has. Seriously, about 90 minutes, and not at all about the couple that just got married. Until they called them up and then called his other sons up with their wives and kids. No recognition to the bride's family. Maybe this is a Chinese tradition, but it's a kind of sucky one.
And the guy making speeches clearly did not have a great handle on English, and thanked all of the guests for "Coming to celebrate the weddings of the son of Mr. Lastname, and for your most generous gifts of many many dollars to the happy couple." That really was just due to his limited handle on the language, but it cracked me up.

aww, the little girl at the wake made me so sad for her. : ( how sweet that she made something special for those who came to pay their respects.
as far as the wedding thing, honestly . . . I'm w. Jimmy. I LOVE weddings, I LOVE to people watch, I LOVE to get dressed up. So much in fact that I'm willing to throw a hundo out at a couple I barely know for the chance to get my H in a suit, and eat, drink, and dance. The liquor sitch is pretty unfortunate but you were lucky to find more wine (which I'd be fine with) and in a pinch, I'd dig in a barrel for some beers too. I'm Klassy like that.
So tell Jimmy that if needs to keep attending these types of weddings that he can take me!
