They Do!

This past weekend was crazy busy. JenPrat (a friend since high school) and my cousin Eric (a cousin since his birth) were both getting married, though not to each other. JenPrat is now JenKaretsky, which does NOT flow nearly as well. Eric is still just Eric- just like Madonna or RuPaul. Only way cooler and more related to me.

Thursday
Involved transporting Aunt Donna, the porn producer extraordinaire, back and forth from BWI so that we could visit while she waited for my Uncle Rob to fly in on a later flight. She had accidentally reserved the car in his name, so they would not let her take it. They were in town for Eric's wedding.

We also picked up Becky to drive her up to PA since she threw her back out. I rode in the back seat with Jezebel. At one point, I successfully managed to eat my delicious and nutritious Wendy's dinner in a gap of space about 4 inches wide between the bridesmaids dresses and $1000 suit hanging on my left, and the hungry dog with a tongue lapping the air on my right. It was very much a scene from The Simpsons when Homer walks towards the pie while chomping at the air. I narrowly escaped a very sad dinner demise. If I had had to make a choice, the food would have ended up on the clothes, since you could always lick that off. I love my dog, but not enough to lick the food off of her mouth. Even though I know she would do it for me if she had too. Now thats love.

Friday
Worked from Mom's house most of the day, drove to Allentown, PA for the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Rehearsed the wedding. Rehearsed the dinner after the wedding. Both when well.

Saturday

Wedding Day. Both weddings went well, although I was only able to be at Jens. It was a beautiful ceremony, I cried a little and then we got to par-tay. Highlights included:

The Cancun Cruiser - used to transport the wedding party to the wedding and from the wedding to the reception. Great stuff!


The bride doing a beer run to refill the Cancun Cruiser between the wedding and reception.
Please note the Michelob Ultra- the bride is health conscience.



The brides maids acting starved for a photo op. Pretty much you can get them to do anything if you just ask. They are like your puppets. Sexy puppets-I love you, Ladies!


Toldya they were sexy! I didn't even have to ask Julie to give me a little booty shot.


Congratulations Jen and Kevin!

Sunday
Larry and I did visit with Eric and his new wife and my whole family at my Aunt Denise's house for brunch on Sunday. Yummmm! Delicious brunch. Even more delicious than Wendy's burger and fries. Brunch that included multiple quiches, breakfast roll (a fresh baked one and half foot long croissant with scrambled eggs and bacon baked, get this, right into the croissant!), and a French Toast Strata (read:casserole) with Apple Cider syrup. No wonder this woman is having anxiety attacks. I was getting flustered just trying to figure out what to eat how to fit everything in me. But don't you worry, I did it.

I also got told about one hundred times that I was missed at Eric's wedding. I think quotes included "I am just sick about the fact that you couldn't be there!" and "Weren't you and Eric as close as brother and sister when you were kids?". WOW. Way to make me feel like shit. Its not like a didn't already have a dream earlier in the week that Eric died and I had to give the eulogy abount how important he was to me and then wake up crying in the middle of the night. But hey, that's my sensitive family for you. Doesn't it make you wish they had adopted you?

All in all, it was a great weekend! I am glad that the wedding season is over for me. At least, I am not in any more weddings. It's not entirely over, since we have a $60,000 wedding to attend in September. I am hoping for diamonds as confetti and Beamers for wedding favors. If that's the case, I'll try to swipe a few extra for you! I love free swag.
