judecorpToday was an incredibly busy day. After a somewhat lazy early morning (I got up early for no reason), Jen and I took showers, ran to Lambert's for produce and deli stuff, ran home to iron clothes, and headed to Providence for Monique's wedding. Yay, open bar!
She looked stunning, by the way. Completely happy and positively radiant. I can't believe I've known her since I was four. Marybeth and Mark, too. Kindergarten represent! Natalie was there (friend since grade 1), and Casey (grade 3), and Mike (grade 4, and my enormous elementary school skaterboy crush). I think that covers elementary school. From junior high and high school, we had Jessica, John, Mandy, Brad, Jenn, Vanessa, and Sarah. Add in Monique's brothers and sisters, and it was like a mini reunion. Good times.
I got some good teasing in at Natalie's expense, mostly for being a Republican. I just adore her, though I abhor her politics. My favorite jab was when I was showing her some stored pictures from my camera, and got to a bunch of pictures from the March for Women's Lives, and was like, "DC, DC, oh Lincoln, DC, phallic building, oh nevermind this stuff, you're a Republican." Ha! I slay myself! (Actually, she's pro-choice and all of that, which is nice. She's just my token Reppie childhood friend.)
Apparently this guy John that I went to high school with is an aspiring actor in New York City. That just cracks me up to no end. I managed to get him to sing Nat King Cole & Natalie Cole's duet "Unforgettable" with me, lounge-singer style. We sang into a rose I plucked from the table arrangements. I am just too funny. The rose made its rounds later. I threw it on Monique when she was doing the "down, down" part of "Rock Lobster," she put it in her mouth, then gave it to someone, who gave it to someone, etc. Trend-setter, table for one.
So it was definitely a good time. And I like going to weddings with my Jennifer because it makes her so sappy. I love the sap. Who's going topay for plan our wedding?
