Love is in the air - plus a whole lot of humidity. I caught sight of my reflection on the subway and thought I was staring at Sideshow Bob. Curly Hair girls, hollar! But this post is about weddings. In a few days, I will depart for San Francisco, where I will gather with my dear rag tag bunch of some one else's friends I infiltrated a few years ago to watch Angie and Joe tie the knot in Big Sur. Then a few weeks later, MuppetLover marches down the aisle on Long Island (figuratively speaking - knowing MuppetLover, I'm not even sure there is an aisle planned.) WorkFriend, the other assistant in my group, got hitched on Saturday and now she's out on her honeymoon. So now I'm supporting the entire group at the office plus the CEO and CIO. "Oh no," said one of the guys, when he realized sweet WorkFriend was leaving them all at my mercy, "It's like only Bad Cop is on duty!" Yes, yes, my pretties. Soon I'll have them all trained to replace their own toner cartridges merely by withholding trail mix...
However it seems I did miss one big wedding of the season. Back in the day, when SmartyPants and I met as 16 year-olds in Washington, DC we had a third roommate in our dorm room - Ms. Tiffany Jo from a small town in South Dakota; I'm talking, hell, let's call it population 800. Anyway, Tiff just married the man of her dreams and I've learned quite a lot by looking at the wedding photos she posted on Myspace. Yes, you can wear an NFL t-shirt to a wedding reception in SD. Most popular beverage to serve with the reception luncheon/dinner? Cans of Mountain Dew aka "pop". Also, "blush and bashful" can be your color scheme - it's not just a punchline from Steel Magnolias.
Smarty - we didn't get you a bib. I'm so sorry, I'm a bad Maid of Honor. Thank God, there's still time for MuppetLover.
Congratulations, Tiffany and Andy! Best wishes!

oh my god...if i weren't on a one way train to spinsterville...that would totally be my wedding. except minus the formal wear. i mean not a naked wedding, but just that you can wear whatever you want...
Of course I'm having an aisle... and by that I mean a break in where the chairs are being lined up. Good thinking on the bib though... don't think we'll need it now that the caterer has talked us out of including mini babyback ribs as a passed hor's devoure.
