Wedded miss?
I was invited to a wedding today. Because I recently moved, I told the groom to send the invite to my mom's and I would attend the blessed nuptials with her. The invitation came and my mom rsvp'd. As the pending wedding date got closer my mom began to complain. She couldn't understand why the couple chose such a late hour (4 PM) to get married. I didn't care and I didn't comment. I have heard of much weirder things schemed up by engaged couples.
Anyway, the day finally arrives. I arise early to begin my beauty regimen. I had intended to curl my hair and polish my nails and toenails. I lost my desire after the shower and hair curling fiasco so I never got to polish any nails, toe or otherwise. I putsy around killing time, waiting for 3:30 PM. We leave promptly. As we arrive at the church we notice there are a lot of people just standing around. Some had drinks in their hand and some looked like they were eating. I also see a tent. I mention to my mom that maybe it is going to be an outside wedding. As we approach I notice that the guests seem a little too relaxed, casual. We walk up to a guy and he is eating cake! My mom asks if we have missed the ceremony and he says, 'Yes, the service was at 2 PM'.
2 PM! Not 4 PM...but 2 PM. We missed the wedding!
Later at the reception the groom came over to our table and made mention of a part in the ceremony that made everyone cry. He then taps me and says, 'You wanna know where I got that idea? Your wedding!'. All I could do was nod as if I knew what he was talking about. I didn't have the heart to tell him that I missed the ceremony.
My mom keeps blaming her age, she is 62. All I know is that the next invitation will be properly screened.
