The Wedding Guest

There is always one at a wedding. And one should try and avoid being, the one. I thought I was the one but after a little phone call yesterday discovered that I was one of many!

The wedding was simple, fast (once the organist arrived) and elegant. Karen was gorgeous. People were happy and then there was dinner. Vodka. Snacks. Vodka. Snacks. You get the picture. Then dinner. Frank and I had the thrill of being placed at the wine table. A good thing … and a very bad thing. Our new friends, Charles and Jeannie are associated with Rodney Strong up north. We had red. We had more red. Went upstairs. Danced a bit with Frank to the chagrin of the Indianans and apparently enjoyed being plied with champagne and … well, more vodka.

I don’t remember leaving. I do remember a fall or two on the way home. Frank informed me that the police were involved and then I relived the Mt. Vesuvious experience live in the living room, the bathroom and the bedroom. Such a pretty boyfriend.

In Summary ...
