7 Glasses Of Wine Later....














Yesterday one of my friends, who I've known for about 14 years, got married. Of course I was there (with Trish by my side). Her wedding and reception were both at Converse College. The wedding was simple-sweet vows, a solo sung in some language not english, a beautiful bouqet in front for the grandparents, and the unity candle. It was perfect for the bride and groom. My friend looked absolutely beautiful in her dress and the bridesmaids had pretty black bridesmaid dresses. After the wedding everyone went downstairs for the reception. Glass 1 of wine. We ended up sitting with one of the bridesmaids parents (who had drank alot!) and the president of Mt. Olive Pickles and his wife. While sitting the staff floated around refilling glasses. The bride and groom did all their dances with each other and their moms. Glass 2 of wine. My friend was mingling by our table so I got up to say hi. I did great, didnt cry at all-until we hugged. I was just so happy for her (the wine probably didnt help!!) Salads were served-simple yet delicious. Glass 3 of wine. Then dinner was then served. Yum yum yum spinach and cheese stuffed chicken, roasted potatoes, and asparagus. It was so good Trish ate the rest of my chicken, couldnt leave a drop on the plate!! Glasses 4 and 5 of wine. They cut the cake and then the dancing began. Oh my goodness, so much fun!!!! Little chicken dance, electric slide, shagging music, booty music....fun fun times!!!! Glass 6 of wine. By now Trish is wanting to go out with a friend, so I ask her to let me have one more glass. Glass 7 of wine, which by the way was the last glass of wine they had!!! Yep, a little tipsy I was!!!! But hey, we had been at the reception for 3 hours!!! I was celebrating my childhood friends beginning of a great new life to the perfect man!!! So then we said our goodbyes to the entire family. Was the night over?? NOOOOO because outside right in front of our car was a fountain that I just HAD to have a pic in front of!!!!!! Now I think about it and I wonder, A-Will I ever get married?, B-Could I ever see myself with the same man "til death do us part," and C-Will my wedding be as perfect for me and my groom as it was for my friends?? 7 Glasses of wine sure does leave lots of room for thoughts........
