Aaron's Wedding PT II

Sorry for the lapse...

The wedding was wonderful, and we followed G off to the reception. Thankfully, he doesn't mind asking directions and 3 stops and one university later we got there. Funny thing is though, we kept picking up cars, who were also lost and when they saw G & B they figured they must know where they were going so they kept falling in behind us. When we got there G got out of the car and commented that he really needed a shot of tequila after that. We went in and found our seats, and I got in the line for the bar. (seems we spent a lot of time that night waiting to talk to everyone's favorite barman) G came by and I asked if he wanted that shot now, and he said, Nooo, but you can get me a rum and coke (man after my own heart). He came back and said that B said she could use one, so I had a rum and coke, 2 huge shots of jose', 2 beers, and something else. I just didn't have enough hands-till butch came up to see what was taking so long. He took a slug out of B's tequila and carted it and the rum off to their owners. So B and I started the night with double jose shots. She then repaid me in kind a bit later. As you should all know, 2 tequila's is the limit....no matter how much you beg or bribe.

This....is a before shot....

The reception was really nice. The food was great, the room had been decorated by Yamilla and her friends and it looked beautiful. Her cousin made the cake, she has to be a pro.

Then the music started.

B and her baby, dancing.

I had lost Butch for a while and found him talking to someone and he had a drink in his hand. As in, not a beer. This is not a good sign. So I asked him what he was drinking. He indigently put his hand on his hip and in his most smarmy tone, said

"Just you never mind!"

and then tried to drink out of the straw-which would have been good had he actually been able to catch the straw with his mouth, and not chase it around the glass with his tongue hanging out.
I swear-V was standing right there when he said it, and is my witness. He did tell me, after a while that it was Jack Daniels. Like I didn't know I was in trouble already.

We had a great time. We danced and laughed and drank and toasted the happy couple for many hours. I only walked into the men's room once. Scared the poor guy in there half to death.

This is B's back, dancing with G and V across from butch. You see the look on Butch's face. He is definitely having a good time. Him and his new best buddy, Jack, who is still in his hand.

Butch and G's mom, Gladys.....plus Jack in the foreground.

B and her favorite brother, with his friend Jack, getting sentimental. Okay, maybe not senti, but definately the mental part.

Late in the evening, they brought out big baskets to all the tables, and when you opened them, they had hats, and maraca's and noisemakers, and big exploding tubes of confetti. And the DJ yelled CARNIVALE'!!! And everyone had even more fun. I had a pink sequined headband with a snake on the front of it (sequined, of course). The only picture I have that is any way not incriminating is this picture of Gladys and Annette with the Sultans hats on. (keep this in mind as this was exactly what Butch was wearing, only Butch's was yellow)

And I've run out of steam for tonight. Sorry to do this but this book needs a new chapter.

To be continued..........THE TRIP HOME!
