I Wish You Joy...

...Success, Happiness and a Better Life.
There's something about weddings. We can't say no to them. Along with funerals, they're the only thing you can get out of anything for. Some weddings are awesome. Some, not so much. I know that true love is in the air, but the dark cloud of suspicion loomed in the air. Even with the stench of premarital relationships, you could see that they loved each other. I've been to a few weddings in my time, and to be honest, it wasn't the best. I figured that with the ceremony as beautiful and traditional as it was, the reception would have blown the doors off of any other wedding.
We got to the reception, and it looked like it had the potential. Large dance floor, buffet, DJ, all the parts of a great reception. Until it got underway. The wedding party was announced and soon after arrived the bride and groom. They proceeded to have their first dance together. But I was curious when the rest of the wedding party danced right along side of them. I didn't think that was the right time for it. After that, the head table was served their dinner. The DJ then opened both the dance floor and buffet at the same time. Half of the reception began eating their food, while a handful of people started to dance. After everyone was served, they began the toasts. The best man, gave a long winded speech including a song, a story, then the toast. The maid of honor was a little brief, but in the case of giving a toast, something short, sweet and to the point cannot be argued with. The funny thing is that most of the people in the reception were having their own conversation and weren't even paying attention. The best part of the reception was the cha cha slide. Thirty plus people all danced the slide and scattered as soon as the song was over. I sat down and had a drink after the dance and next thing I knew, the bride and groom were feeding cake to one another. I didn't even know they were cutting the damn thing. With all the confusion and disorganization, I decided to call it a night.
I wish them nothing but the best. I know that they will have a beautiful family one day, and have many years of wedded bliss.


Having joy in others will only insure joy for yourself.
