• So I went to yet another wedding.  This time it’s the third one,
  as I went to two others earlier this year.  The first one
  was one of my best friends back in high school, the second one was my
  friend’s sister’s wedding, and this third time is my girlfriend’s
  friend from college. 

  The wedding was located in a nice cute resort by the hillside, and the
  reception was located at the same place.  There were almost 300
  people that attended and me, my girlfriend, and her sister knew almost
  nobody there except for the couple, and a few of the relatives (kinda like the other two weddings too). 
  The wedding was late, but it was also relatively short, so it was all
  good.

  At the reception, we ended up assigned to the very last table (but with
  a good spot), and practically had it for ourselves besides two others
  (five empty seats). Just like the wedding itself, it was out in open
  air, but with the candles on the table and the moody lighting, it was
  actually very beautiful. By the time they were playing the game for the
  table center piece, it was just me, my girl, and her sister in that one
  table.  So obviously, we won the center piece.  The funny
  thing is that in ALL three weddings, we won those other center pieces
  too.

  One humorous highlight of the night was that somebody accidently put
  part of the grass and table on fire.  They were lighting up the
  pot for the coffee and they ended up getting the table cloth and grass
  right next to it on fire.  Not much harm done though.

  I suppose there is one other humorous event that happened.  At the
  garter toss, I was the one that caught it.  Not really that funny,
  except that in an earlier wedding that I attended (the first one), I
  too caught the garter. It was silly,
  because the garter was in the air for a couple of seconds and NOBODY
  was reaching for it.  I didn’t want it to fall with noone
  attempting to get it, so I stepped forward and caught it prior to it
  hitting the ground.

  So that’s three center pieces, and two garters so far this year. 
  I still have my brother’s wedding to attend to in two months. Let’s see
  how it goes there.
