Wedding

Over a month ago I was invited to go to a wedding. I was not to sure whether this was a real date or was I just going with my friend. We have known each other for 16 years. Many moons ago there was some interest in each other but timing was never right. As we got older while we enjoyed each others company from time to time we sank comfortably in the friend zone.

So this weekend was the wedding date. I was trying my best to get many things organized to ensure that my day would go as seamless as possible. I was supposed to be at the church on Saturday by 1:00pm head the reception by 6:00pm. I was spending the night in the motel and then going to the work from 11am to 9:30pm on Sunday. I did my best to get everything done on Friday after work. I went grocery shopping and stopped by Winners (a discount clothing store similar to TJ Maxx in the states) to buy China Glaze nail polish for $5.99 in the funky colours of purple (flying dragon, neon), hot pink(shocking pink, neon), bright yellow (solar power) and orange (orange knockout, neon). Hey they are usually $9.99 Canadian each. I’m always on the hunt for a good deal

Anyways I reached home at 9:00 o’clock unpacked my groceries and tried to cook for the week. (Yeah that didn’t quiet work). I also tried to finish my laundry and clean my house all before I went to bed at 1:00pm (yeah that didn’t work either). All I ended up doing was starting a bit of everything, finishing nothing and leaving my house in an entire mess.

I had good intensions but ended up reaching the church 45 minutes late don’t worry my friend was on time and they are his friends. I was running 15 minutes late but the QEW one of Toronto major highways were down so the 40 minute drive turned into 1:20 minutes. (Madness)

In retrospect I was happy that I was late because much of the wedding was in Polish so I didn’t understand much of what was going on. I must say the bride made an excellent choice in the bride maids dresses. The cut was flattering to everyone who wore them despite the fact that all the females had various body shapes and sizes yet everyone looked equally beautiful.

The reception was a nice I am sure the unlimited flow of liquor has factored into my rating. However, the only played techno and polish music some variety would have been nice but hey it was not my day. Wedding for me is the true symbolism of love. It is so nice to see older couples slow dancing and holding hands and young love. There was this cute South Asian looking couple that would not stop slow dancing even with the crazy beats of techno playing in the background.... oh first love.

Towards the end of the night my friend comes to me in a drunken state telling me that saying that all his friends have been telling him that he needs to make me his girlfriend. He says that he came to the conclusion 10 to 15 years of that black woman would never accept him for who he is. How are we supposed to build a relationship if we don’t like the same music? If you could accept me we would be together. . Wow! Someone had one too many(lol). I told him that we could talk about this tomorrow when he was sober. He said no your not open to this music you expected to hear Soca and Reggae. (at a Polish wedding ) He rambled and we went back to the motel. Within minutes he passed out and was snoring like a bear in hibernation. His co-worker that we were sharing a room with already there and getting ready for bed.  I was in the bathroom getting ready for bed when there was a knock on the door. I open the door to find my friends co-worker. He asks if I was okay. I said yes. He asks “what was I doing in there”.  I said “peeing, washing my face, brushing my teeth” He stood there for few moments before I asked him if I could finish....Weird.

What a night

Saw my friend the next day. I asked him if he remembered our conversation. He said yes and he admitted that the music was not the greatest

16 years and one outburst. That nothing we are still cool!
