I’m still totally drained of energy. Thursday was recovery from Wednesday’s trip to IKEA with Jon. It was also running around with Matthew to get the alcohol situation sorted for his wedding along with some semblance of a bachelor party, though it was mostly just dinner, beer, and cigars. Friday was a lot more running around doing wedding preperations. We had a bitch of a time printing the placecards for the reception, yay for the iMac… bah for Microsoft Word fucking up… it figures, right? The problematic part was the Microsoft supplied software. Anyway, after hours of battling with the evil that is Microsoft software, we got that taken care of and got back home/Scotland and made our way to the country club to get all the decoration sorted. Apart from nearly taking a swing at the preacher guy (argh!) the practice went just fine. The ring bearer boy seemed to be filled with Helium, but thankfully that seemed to leave him by the day of the wedding, lol.

Patrick arrived somewhere near 1AM Saturday morning and instead of sleeping, well… you know how it goes, so another night of maybe four hours of sleep for the week, I think it makes since Tuesday that I’ve been sleep deprived, haha. Anyway, he brought down his computer and I put his new 200GB drive in (whooo! 82 days of continous mp3 action baby).

Starting at 8:45 or so the brothers started pounding on the bedroom door… oi. I didn’t want to get up until 11AM and I was determined to not completely start my day until then… which didn’t work out too well considering the constant interruption. My favourite was when David knocked on the door and asked if we were “decent” — then proceeded into the room without waiting for an answer, lol. Don’t mind the naked boys under the duvet… pfft. That’s what I get for deciding that the best place for all the wine and such was the floor of my lounge… oops.

So, yes, I shrugged on my responsibility of getting Matthew to the wedding, I knew he’d make it fine with whomever took him, lol…

In my worry to make sure I had the marriage licenses and rings I rather forgot to grab my toast/speech, to which I didn’t realize until it was far too late to head back to Chambersburg to get it. *Sigh of horror* I managed to adlib something fairly decent, thankfully, and nobody could tell, from what I gathered, that I was making it all up on the spot… in front of a hundred plus people.

The maid of honor managed to get a …little… trashed, haha, which was pretty hilarious. I had a modicum of fun stealing kisses from Patrick while watching out for people watching us, hahaha… I did get one “WATCH IT!” from the woman… I’m still amazed that after all this time her family hasn’t quite put it together yet… My brother is getting married, my other brother is with his (mult-year) girlfriend and I’m with a guy, who at times was pleasantly attached to me at the hip, lol. Yay for being totally clueless, right?

The wedding was great… and amazingly went perfectly well with only minor glitches that nobody would have noticed if they hadn’t been part of the preparations.

I think I’ll just leave it with that due to my state of utter exhaustion and general full-body pain… heh… very uncomfortable rented shoes plus standing all day equals less than happy body. I had a lot of fun… :-)
