Yes. Its true. I have been in a wedding 9 - count them - 9 times. One of those actually a bride! (Worst mistake EVER). Anywhoo - this past weekend Jess & Steven came together in marriage out in the middle of nowhere at some place called Padua Hills. Jessica wanted it forest like expecting fairies to jump out of trees. It was. She looked breathtaking. The bridal party looked fantastic. Her ring is BLING. The whole thing was very elegant, beautiful and fun and I'm sure cost more money then I'll ever be worth. I still find it hard to attend weddings (let alone be in them). It makes me sad in a way. Remembering how my day was so spectacular and beautiful only to end in disaster. Makes me sad being a single 32 year old. There's something about weddings that bites people. Makes you want someone. Is it the love in the air? The romance? It seems like hooking up with someone at a wedding is a given. Not for me. I have yet to experience that. I've been to more weddings then I can count. I always have that moment of sadness. That moment of loneliness. Lately that feeling turns to irritation at the fact that I still get sad/lonely in these situations. This time around - I started getting that feeling so I took a walk. I went out a spot across the street that had a little bench and overlooked Claremont. The lights of the city twinkled and winked at me. The night sounds filling the air around me. The faint sound of the wedding in the background. I sat down. I smoked. I gazed out into the night and smiled. I fought that feeling and I won. I have to admit - I am disappointed that I cant say - "Ya - me and that one hot guy totally hooked up!". But whateva. In fact, I'm going to post below the highlights I posted on myspace. I've decided that here is where I'll spill a bit more. Vent a bit more. I'll try to keep that off the myspace world. So - highlights....
