The Rainy Nuptials

The big day we've been waiting for has finally come and gone: CinderHella and Prince Dis-Arming are now man and wife!

Unfortunately the happy event was marred by crappy weather. It was a dismal and rainy day, with plenty of wind as well. Otherwise, it was gorgeous ceremony and CinderHella looked absolutely beautiful. I was very happy for them, and found myself crying like a baby in my strapless lavendar bridesmaid gown at the reception. My best friend is now a married woman!

Actually, according to my date for the evening, "crying" isn't the most applicable term. He coined the phrase "braying like a donkey". Thanks buddy! :(

Everyone had a blast thanks to an enthusiastic wedding party and great music, and of course, the open bar helped a bit. By the time I had to give my speech, I was fairly drunk. As far as I am aware, I think my speech went well. I guess watching the wedding video will be proof. Not bad considering I didn't do any preparation at all.

By the time we got back to the hotel, my date and I were hammered. So after the removal of over a dozen bobby-pins from my over-styled hair, scraping off the ton of makeup from my face, taking a long, hot shower, having early morning pizza, and watching some Chris Rock to help me sleep, I finally fell into bed around 4am. I had stayed up for 23 hours!

In the morning, over a late brunch at Golden Griddle, my date, BizarroReese, revealed a secret.

BizarroReese: Dude, did you know you talk in your sleep?

Reese: Get out! You're lying! I do not!

BizarroReese: No, for reals. You do.

Reese: Okay, stop fucking with my head! I do not! No one ever told me that, and I've slept with lots of people before.... (pauses and realizes how that sounds) Well you know what I mean!

BizarroReese: Yeah. I was half-asleep and I heard you toss in your sleep and say "mmmmm... my..." and then giggle.

Reese: Really?

BizarroReese: Totally. My eyes flew wide open as I realized what was happening. I could even tell that you were grinning in your sleep. I wanted to put my hands to my ears and say "lalalalalalalalalala!". It was yucky!

Reese: I still think you're fucking with me!

BizarroReese: No I swear it's true. (holds hand up) Santo Nino! I NEVER say Santo Nino.

So I guess since he swore on Baby Jesus, I have to believe him. I still have my doubts. It is a funny story. I don't even remember what I could have been dreaming about to merit that comment. Either way, it's a great shared moment, unwanted or not!
