Well, my brother’s wedding day is done and over with, and boy am I tired.The morning was pretty hectic with people trying to find and get to
the hotel. Us trying to figure out the whole parking validation
situation, rooms that we need to go to, as well as floors that we need
to go to but can’t access.By the time we got to the church, everything was running
smoother. It was a Catholic wedding, and it was nicely
done. Ofcourse, people like my girlfriend had to “put up” with
all the procedural stuff that goes with a Catholic wedding.Afterwards, there was a impromptu photoshoot at Griffith park right
after the wedding (which ended at about 3:45pm). We
were a little annoyed at the fact, because we were all pretty
hungry at the time and didn’t expect anymore added events to deal with.
Since we haven’t eaten all day because of the hectic schedule, I was
hearing complaints about eating something quick. I
personally wasn’t hungry yet, but those who were went for a quick run
to KFC. The photoshoot was then done, and then it was off to the
hotel again for the reception party.Parking was full so we had to park across the street at the
mall. Which is fine, because it’s cheaper to park there than the
hotel. The reception started at approximately 7:30pm and ended at
12midnight. It was actually pretty fun, and was well done.
Unlike the last three times this year that me and my girlfriend has
attended weddings, we didn’t for once win anything at all.I suppose my highlight of the night would be the moment when they
asked all the groomsmen (me included) to play a game for a Best Buy
gift certificate. It was pretty much the audience choosing a task
that each one of us had to do. The best man for example had to
play act a strip tease, one person had to pretend to be Micheal
Jackson, etc… Me on the other hand got stuck needing to do a Britney
Spears impersonation for thirty seconds. Let me repeat that, I had to do a freakin BRITNEY SPEARS impersonation for 30 secs.
But being that I didn’t want to chicken out and disappoint the
audience, I went for it and shook my bootay to “I’m a Slave
4U!” I was told that I wasn’t bad and I await to see the video
footage of said dance.
At the end of the reception, the dance floor opened up, and being
that I embarassed myself already to everybody there, I boogied on the
dance floor to my heart’s content.So I’ve gone through four weddings this year, and that gives me
quite a lot of ideas for my own in the future. So thinking back
again to the Britney Spears thing, those of you who know they’ll be
there, prepare yourselves.
