louis wedding follow up
sorry gals (and simon) i forgot to update about the wedding i was invited to earlier in september.
as i deduced from the venue (venus de milo) , the festivity was a full-on italian american affair. the venue itself had a lobby decorated with a copy of said sculpture and two copies of david's 'the oath of the horatii' and 'the death of socrates.' i can see they were going for a neo classicist vibe but i am not sure how these paintings clued in a festive atmosphere.
the best man was cute. or i have no taste. i tend to think the latter.
johnny and albert picked me up. i got a new dress since i figured i might as well look good if i was going to crash. on the way to the wedding albert called johnny 'a fucking asshole.' this was after johnny gleefully remnisced about the time he an albert were driving and the car tipped over due to the road s iciness. i guess you had to be there.
it is perfectly ok to give the couple a check as a gift. i asked about a registry but am not sure i got a response. there was a big white box to put checks in. apparently at a simultaneous reception the box was stolen. i wish i had stolen it.
the dj introduced himself as dj giovanni. i am not sure he works in western new york but i would love it if he did. the wedding party entered to a techno rendition of one of those 'traditional' italian songs. i wish i knew the name.
the food was ok. i ate way too much. the bar was a cash bar. ordinarily this would be a big problem but since the couple had two kids and one on the way i think it was an ok move. i kind of hate kids but obviously they come first. i can t complain since i went to their wedding and barely knew them.
most people looked good. some ladies wore slacks and could not pull it off. as a general rule i think people should make an effort to look better than what they usually do.
quote of the night: "it must suck not to be able to drink at your own wedding!"
but that s what you get if you are pregnant and intend to make an honest woman out of yourself.
moral of the story: whatever you do, do not get pregnant before the wedding and keep an eye on all the sealed envelops you receive.
