After Party

Would you tell me the truth
if it would hurt what we are
do you respect me enough
to not lie to my face
will you give me a straight answer
when i ask a straight question

Well, today is the day after the wedding. The wedding was the best I have ever been at. My blind date went well, she enjoyed the party and taught me how to swing dance a bit. I also got to dance with all of the brides maids and the bride. I did a ridiculous amount of drinking (in order: 1 tall beer, 1 double shot of rum, 2 glasses of wine, 3 long island ice teas, 5 more glasses of wine) but stayed coherent through the night. The wedding was good because almost everyone there was having a good time. I've been to a lot of weddings and normally either due to stress or other factors or pressures people do not in fact have a good time. But when the bride and groom and their families and friends are all having fun, the other guests do too. Everyone was where they needed to be mostly on time, everyone did what they needed to do, and logistically it all worked smoothly. The only catch was two people who were not having fun. Namely the best man, and his ex who I was escorting. He spent most of the evening moping outside, and she spent most of the evening not having fun because she said he would beat people up if they danced with her. Well, she may have been right, I posted a joke on her wall about how since she was the only single bridesmaid I was required to hit on her, and I got a very offended and angry response from him. It's sad, those two I think could have made it, but due to some personality incompatibilities they broke up several months ago.

Well, now the bad pictures of me will start rolling in and I'll get in trouble for things I've said. Next on my list is to spend some time with my first date who bailed on me. While I do that I plan to mope about my one year pre-arranged backup who bailed on me.

The wedding did inspire a new wine name though: Silver Bitch (a mispronunciation of the wine "Silver Birch") I think this would make a fantastic expensive wine name.

... respect is a thing that is earned, not a thing that is deserved...
