So this past weekend was the friend of my wife's wedding. Going back and actually reading what I had proposed to do, a certain amount of it actually happened, and other parts worked out brilliantly, however accidentally to work out.
Her friends, did arrive a few hours before the wedding, and we did proceed to start drinking. The husband/boyfriend are cool guys so there was none of the awkwardness, like there was the previous night, when two other friends and their respective showed up. Of the couples the night before - they are all nice people, and I think that is their problem.
Short aside, on why I don't really get along with one of the couples. The last time we all saw each other was at another wedding. At this wedding, there was booze and dancing, and all the good shit that goes with it. So as the night is going on and everyone is drunk and having a good time, I see the girls dancing. And the song "Cecelia" came on. I love that song. So I say I am going to dance with my wife. The guy then tells me he doesn't dance but his girlfriend loves it. So I say, well if you went out there and danced with her, even for one song, it might make her really happy. After a bit of convincing, he went out there. I didn't follow up at the time. Fast forward to Friday. We are drinking some wine at our house and he says something along the lines of "that was a stupid move on your part, to get me to dance." The girlfriend then chimes in and says "hey, I really enjoyed that, I wish you would have danced with me more." I respond with "I guess it wasn't a good idea." He retorts "Yes it wasn't." Long story short, we wont be calling each other on our respective birthdays.
So anywho, back to the closer friends. We ended up arriving at the wedding late. The wife had to feed the baby. So we arrived as the bride and groom are exiting the wedding hall. Perfection. Bar immediately opens. Perfection. Everyone starts double fisting the drinks. Double perfection.
Not really much else to report if you don't know or care about the people. But I did go and request Cecelia, and was asked by the DJ, how I thought he could mix it in, based on the current music (which I don't remember at the time.) But shortly there after, he did play Cotton Eye Joe followed up by Banga Bus (Banga boys - I don't know the name, but it is a fucking lame ass song.
Oh I think the bartender tried to get me to go out drinking with them, after the wedding was over. My wife saw this and just gave me a look. I didn't encourage it in anyway.
We left at 11, drank more when we got home. I sobered up for the second half to be sober driver. Not perfection.
