always a bridesmaid...

holy wedding weekend. here are the highlights (good and bad)

low: flight delayed by an hour causing me to arrive to rehearsal dinner an hour late

high: shacking up with the bride-to-be in the bridal suite (possibly the only upshot of being the only bridesmaid at the wedding stag). fancy pants room with big ol' hot tub (full o' bridesmaids)...

low: 8 AM $50 hair appointment for the dreaded up-do

high: discovering that the bride's petticoat thing (bought for the purpose of avoiding the "bridal wedgie") stands up all by itself
low: professionally taken candid shot of me putting on deoderant
high: climbing under the dress (already on the bride) to help her get her garter and shoes on

low: limo breaking down on big city streeet on way to wedding
high: limo guy actually getting out and opening the hood
even higher: bride hiking up her dress and running down the street to get into backup limo

cut to reception and after party...

low: flirting shamelessly with groomsman who was not, as i orginally thought, there alone.
lower: drunken groomsmen dropping like flies. lots of vomiting.
even lower: cops called from hotel bar on belligerent drunk friend of bridesmaid
high: calling my parents who come together to pick me up from drunken after-party

low: flight home delayed by 2 1/2 hours
high: killing time with my parents in sketchy 24 hour diner next to the airport drinking $1 budlight in can with a side of crinkle cut fries
low: flight home next to abrasive, slightly maladjusted psychiatrist who really wants to talk to me (i think i'm becoming a magnet for people with sociopathic tendencies)
