WEDDING FILLED WEEKEND

I guess it's that time in my life where weddings become a part of my weekend plans. This past weekend was certainly no exception. Friday night started out with a rehearsal dinner for Robbie's friends, Jeff and Jessica. Their wedding was held the next day at the Casa Monica Hotel. I unfortunately missed the ceremony do to a prosthetics lab (where I got to work with and wrap patients who had transtibial and transfemoral amputations). Robbie was a groomsman in the wedding, as Jeff is one of his friends from the 7th grade.

Our weekend then continued on Sunday with Angela and Joseph's wedding. The wedding? Simple elegance. The weather? Perfect. The memories? Unforgettable!



After arriving at the White Room, where the reception was held, it didn't take long for my brother-in-law, Michael, to drip stuff on him from the bacon wrapped scallops. Not even 5 minutes later, the server was walking around with a tray of iced tea. It later ended up on the floor, but luckily Michael's leg was there to help break the fall and decrease the amount of splatter. We were all laughing with the server and making some fun of the situation. Danette jumped at the opportunity to help him clean up as she didn't want him to feel embarrassed. With the server squatted to the ground, wiping up the mess, and Danette leaning over towards him with her dress hanging low, she kept asking if he was okay. "Of course he's okay," I whispered to Megan, "her boobs are hanging out right in his face." Everyone at the table lost it.

Following this episode came a sight I will never forget. As I walked into the women's restroom, I walked past the first stall where I saw a man standing over the toilet with the stall door wide open. I quickly turned around and walked right out. Everyone at the table inquired why I was laughing so hard, but I didn't want to tell them yet because I didn't want everyone to direct their attention to the man who was going to walk out of the women's restroom. Well, they knew something was up and looked anyway. Then, out walked my brother-in-law, Eddie! Why he ever ended up in there, no one knows. Why he never thought twice about there not being any urinals, no one knows. Why he didn't at least shut the door, no one knows. Either way, I won't ever forget the sight of a dark haired guy in a blue collared shirt standing over a toilet in the women's restroom.



Here's the last story to top it off. To set this up, it was during the Mother-Son dance. Robbie was to my left and Megan was to my right. Megan was sitting with her back turned away from Robbie and I as she was watching them dance. Completely unaware that anything was going on, we all heard a sneeze from Robbie and then Megan screamed and grabbed her back. She quickly grabbed her napkin and started wiping the wetness from her back in a hurry. She was laughing hysterically and tears were running down her face. By this time, everyone at our table had caught on to the fact that Robbie had dipped his hands in water and thrown it on her at the time he made the sneezing sound. Megan was completely grossed out, and disappeared to the restroom to clean it off. It "wa snot" until the next day that she found out the truth.
