A friend got married this last weekend. And I learned a number of things from the wedding:
Making a tiered wedding cake could kill you. But it isn't a certainty. Because I survived and overall it went well. The Girl has pictures, I'll get something posted when she is over today's orthodontist visit.
Short grandparents don't necessarily make for short grandchildren
Fondant should not be eaten. SERIOUSLY. Ick. But it sure looks purty.
Les filles Hingston are as pretty as I've been telling you all this time.
Even the warm-huggy ambience of a wedding doesn't mean you won't want to smack someone for being irritating.
A small church basement filled with people - and no A/C - when the outside temp. is + 30 is no place to spend a great amount of time.
Everyone but me can keep their head down and their eyes closed when weird stuff happens. I know this because I looked around in shock/confusion at one point and everyone else was bowed and closed, praying. Bad me.
Family is as important as I have always believed it to be. It's just nice to see it confirmed in other people's familes. And even better? Being included as a part of someone else's large family. I even got to sit in the family pew! May not sound like much to you, but it meant a great deal to me.
It is possible for a middle of the road chubby middle aged white woman (moi) to look nice, given the right dress choice. And I had three on loan to choose from, all of which were very swish! I've decided to never go dress shopping without Mayb. Because the dresses were all hers. Clearly she has some serious shopping skills.
You can't learn to walk about in really high heels without some practice. Especially after a summer of mainly barefeet and flat sandals.
Romance isn't dead.
It isn't always the bride that makes people cry. I had it all together until the groom made the sweetest kindest gesture. And then the tears came. Drat.
I need someone else to get engaged, so I can get caught up in someone else's love life.
I need some romance in my own life.
Winning the lottery isn't likely to be the solution to the current life crisis.
Ok, so I didn't learn those last three at the wedding. But they're important, so I tossed them in.

You and the kids ARE part of our family!!
I was going to say that too. I'm glad you were there and I am so sorry it was + 29458057 degrees in that basement. Ugh.
Was that heels line about me and Ky? For reals, that was some hard walking.
Al:
Thank heavens - because that's what I tell people too!
Bron:
The heat wasn't too bad. Seriously, I've been in Texas in August.
Lyn - heels were my heels. I had to wear them - hanging around you guys without wearing heels makes me feel like the chubby doll you have trailing after you. Had to get some height, somehow!
