I'm invited to two weddings in the next three months. In light of what I recently put myself through that's a little funny. Someday maybe someone will be writing blog posts about my wedding.
The first one is my aunt's. She's been with the same guy for THIRTY years. They are getting married in Larchmont, NY in September.
The second one is my friend's from Maryland. I'm actually a groomsman for that particular event. Which is interesting.
Last time I saw this guy, I was visiting Maryland for 5 days. I hadn't seen him in over a year. He picked me up to hang out, explained he had to go to Wal-Mart to buy a garbage can, and then got a phone call from his then-girlfriend while we were there. She started reaming him out about something, and he dropped me off back at my mom's place to go deal with it.
That was like four years ago. I barely speak to him, ever.
This is awfully cynical of me, but I think maybe the only reason I'm invited is so that I can be there to match the number of bride's maids that his fiance is planning on having.
This is the first girl the guy has ever been with.
Sigh.
I'll be more interested in visiting the area. I'm gonna take my film rangefinder and shoot the fuck out the town... see a couple friends I truly miss, and chirp out.
My aunt's wedding will be in September and that is gonna be tough for other reasons. I haven't really seen any of my extended family in about 8 or 9 years. I pissed a lot of people off by being a shitty son to my mom. I'll be making a lot of amends... but I know that if it all works out and I get to go, it will be a good experience.
