Wedding
So funny story.
Last Saturday, I'm lying around with Khoa after the wedding rehearsal/brunch, just relaxing. Khoa suddenly straightens up, alarmed.
Says to me: "Damn, I'm such an idiot! I just realized I won't be able to go to (best friend)'s D&D game tomorrow!"
Me, with a bemused face: "......uh...... yeah? Obviously. What with (sister)'s wedding and all."
Says he: "I need to tell (best friend)! She's probably going to be wondering where I am!"
Says I: "Hon, I'm pretty sure you're the only person who could POSSIBLY overlook a detail like that."
So (in a total "isn't this so funny?" kind of way) I relate this story to Best Friend over Skype (she is not online at the time, but it's a good way to leave messages). When I see her again on Monday so that we can carpool to work, she tells me "yeah, that totally didn't occur to me until yesterday either." What am I gonna do with these two?
The actual wedding went as planned, nothing huge went wrong at the last minute or anything. The sun came out at just the right time so that it wasn't all cloudy and stuff. Unfortunately due to that sun, I have a nasty sunburn that's made it quite painful to move my shoulders ever since. Yummy cake was eaten, my sister put me squarely in her shadow once again, and I now have a dozen pots of purple petunias in my living room.
Here's a pic from Stepsister's camera of that day, the entire album I like to refer to as "Stepsister is Prettier Than Me In That Dress And She Knows It":

No, my emotions haven't been going up and down like a rollercoaster this month, why do you ask? I prefer not to think about the kind of things being around family for an extended amount of time does to my mental state. Deep breath, handle it, back to life as usual.

It seems awfully odd that people would have selective memory regarding much of the traditions regarding such a thing. Personally, I like the idea of simply having a coronation of friends and family bust out in dance, ala Bollywood-movies-style, to a blaring March of the Empire theme as performed by Metallica. At least then, no one could think anyone else as looking silly.
