weddings

Mar 28, 2004 18:15

yesterday was an odd day,
1:30 pm we had Alethea's wedding to attend with a reception at 6:00 pm
before that could happen we had to drop andrea (thegirl360) off at Aletheas inlaw's to prep her before the wedding. Andreas mother decided to go to some rummage sale happening at the masons so i figured that i should check to see if they had any books.
we arrived roughly a half an hour before we were allowed in (if you were a member of mothers with twins you could get in early to pick over the shelves) so we waited and waited
all the while a small crowed was gathering in front of the obligatory baked goods and raffle table which to my dismay was largely populated by Former mothers (mostly looking as if they crawled out of their trailers) current mothers with their gaggles of screaming children and future mothers bulging belly's abounding. i began to get worried about the fact that everyone there was talking about that weird birthing stuff that i prefer to distance my self from, and the glimpses i saw through the door were all baby related items.
i resolved that i would do the old cafeteria slide and not pay my dollar and make sure that this wasn't a room full of crap

then all at once the doors opened and
it was indeed a room full of crap
baby clothes, blankets, cribs, toys, books, movies.......the list goes on

andreas mother sputtered and complained then told me to wait at the door to keep mike and laura from coming in and waisting 2 more dollars on this affair

i called them....headed them off and we squealed the tires and headed for home by way of another garage sale where
i purchased a near mint Nintendo, five games, the gun, 2 controllers, and a strategy guide for $20, plus Abby Road for 3 and a Rolling stones double album for 3
nearly making up for the line standing with bulbous future mothers.

Next came the wedding me in my fancy suit (including the ol' sippin' flask) and andreas family at which ever catholic church
andrea (she was aletheas maid of Honor) wept her way down the isle and the priest dropped his glasses on the floor breaking them
three times

other than that it went smoothly
however i'm wondering why do women cry at weddings?
andreas mother cryed during it
i cannot comprehend why women cry over things like that
