I'm so glad it's over!!
The wedding that is. And of course, I made a mistake. I knew I would. It was inevitable cuz when I get nervous and want things JUST right they get ruined. I didn't RUIN anything really but I just played the wrong song at the wrong time. Let me start from the beginning.
The wedding didn't even start on time but you know anything black people got going on never starts on time. BPTime it's called. It was suppose to start at 3 and I was suppose to play the opening song at 2:55 to signal the start of the ceremony. Well it started at around 3:40 or so and the opening song, the song the pastor, groom and best man's song ("Made To Love Her" by Gerald Levert), the mother of the bride's song ("Color Me Love" by Boys II Men) were all cut. Some room containing the bride's flowers was locked and nobody had the key. She wasn't walking down the aisle without her flowers. So anyway, last night at the last rehersal, the pianist played "Inseperable" and in walked the maid/matron of honor so I thought that today the pianist was gonna do the same thing so I had the cd player set on the song after that which was this song by Christina Aguilera called "Blessed". The MC told me on the walkie talkie to play the music and I forgot I had it set to the other song so I accidentally played that one. I realized it was wrong after he helped me realize and I stopped it and played the right song. I felt SO bad! That was really the only time I noticably messed up. Jennifer (my cousin who sung at the wedding) came upstairs and was all "You had the easiest job in the world". I'm like thanks I feel bad enough and you coming up here saying shit. Her ass was fucking up too so I don't know why she was trying to be smug about it. Her and the pianist. His ass was speeding up the song and she had to sing it faster to keep up.
The best part was the bride's part. She looked really nice. I loved the dress. It was a beautiful ceremony and I caught myself getting misty eyed when she was coming down the aisle in all that white and the veil and everything. I guess someday I do want to take that walk and I have the perfect dress in mind. Strapless and Flowing.
The reception was cool too. They had a dancer and she danced this african dance that's meant for weddings. I was all enthralled by how she moved. It was so fluid. I was all, 'I want to do that!' in my head. I also bumped into my old high school band teacher. He didn't remember my name but he remebered my face and he remebered I had played the flute. I only did it for the 9th grade year but my cousin was right, they never forget a student. Your name maybe but not your face. I was afraid to approach him cuz I didn't think he'd remember me but he did. I was all happy. He's all you graduated in 98 and I said no 97 and he said "girl you old!" lol..I KNOW THIS MAN!! He was playing the trumpet with the band at the wedding. I'm like of all the people for me to see.
I got a headache right now. Too much laughing and joking around. My hair was cute. I looked cute but I picked out the wrong pantyhose. They weren't sheer enough for me. I didn't like that. Once the wedding was over though everybody changed into flipflops. It was flipflop madness on everybody's feet. I don't even know why I bothered to put on my heels since nobody saw me really. Except Jen's boyfriend Timothy. He asked me today if he was annoying. I said "sometimes". It just came out cuz I guess I didn't want to lie to the boy since he was asking and we were actualy getting along good and he finally wasn't annoying me. He was up in the balcony with me the whole time. He's alright. Still annoying but at least he knows I think he is sometimes..lol.
What else? Oh yea. Shamika, Jen's cousin from her stepmom's side, told me that Jennifer told her I was considering a perm. She was all "Remember that long time ago how my hair used to look?" I was all Yea and she turned around and said "Now look at it". I had been noticed it was shorter. Jennifer was saying how she didn't take care of it but still, too many people said perms broke their hair off and whatnot. I had decided I wasn't gonna do it even though it is still in the back of my mind cuz I won't take care of it. I hate doing my hair. If I had the right head shape and knew it would look good, I'd cut it Halle Berry short. Or Nia Long short. But I don't know and I don't dare try.
I guess that's enough for the night. Oh yea..I finished that book. STUPID!! that's all I'll say.
Oh yea! I saw this hot ass guy at the reception. Jennifer said she used to have a crush on him back in the day and I do remember her liking him. I think his name was Edwin or something. He's FINE. I couldn't help but look at him..lol...mentally telling him to come and talk to me like Jodeci..lol..corny I know but hey. I need to learn to talk to dudes man. He was SO FINE!! Jennifer noticed me noticing him. I should have talked to him! Oh well. Wasn't meant to happen I guess.
I'm out.
