Flower

Wedding Cake in My Freezer

But it isn’t mine. I was a groomsman in Jeff and Becky’s wedding this past weekend, and they asked for someone to store their wedding cake while they finished their wedding time off (honeymoon isn’t until January). I’ve also got flowers and a few other things, so party at my place?

It was a lovely ceremony, though it started a bit late due to forgotten flowers. It was an outdoor wedding, and the weather was perfectly cooperative. The reception was nice and the food was pretty tasty. Not much dancing, which is kind of to be expected. And the bride had to retire early when it was discovered she was laying on the floor and wasn’t inclined to stand up. There were some ups and downs in other areas, and I wish I’d been less me during it all, but there’s only so much I can do.

Also, yesterday was my birthday, for which I am taking today off of work. The morning will be spent largely apartment bound, as I’m getting some work done on my car. The afternoon, running errands. And sometime this week, meat!

    Hey, happy birthday! Sorry I’m so horribly about remembering them.

    It was a lovely little wedding, in a very memorable setting. Lots of fun. But I was surprised by the lack of dancing, honestly. Dancing at weddings is usually one of the top reasons my wife wants to attend them. I figured her and the other like-minded females would drag us bummy, wallflower males out on to the dance floor. A future where my wife isn’t dragging me out onto the dance floor scares me.

    Also, was Becky unconscious at the reception? Because that mental image makes me laugh in so many ways.

    And… meat?

    Eh, no worries, I’m not that good at remembering birthdays either.

    She wasn’t unconscious, but she was really low energy and it took some effort to get her to drink and eat a bit.

    And to explain the “meat” comment, the past few years we’ve gone to Brasa Grill for a birthday dinner.

    Here’s hoping HTML works in comments.
