My Friend is Wed
Oct. 7th, 2012 06:44 amThe wedding was nice, even if the ass-hat preacher-man was strutting his stupid self around the reception after like he was some kind of champion. He even went so far as to, during a random speech at the reception, say that in spite of the "non-traditional" nature of certain things, the service went off well. My friend Del and his wife Cara will clearly raise a family in good service to the Lord.
What amuses me is that Cara is an angry atheist science lady and Del is, well, probably the most laid back person I've ever met when it comes to spirituality. I don't know if it'll ever be brought up. I think it's Cara's family that's really religious. There were lots of prayers in the service readings about the woman being subservient to her husband. I kicked myself when I realized I could have simply bought them a strap-on starter kit and presented it to them at the gift-giving portion of the reception. I, instead, got them a nice set of bookends as I know they're both book-hungry like me.
Probably for the best.
Probably.
In other news... I took vacation days to do this in the event that I needed to be off long into the night and, as it turns out, I didn't. I don't exactly feel like this effort was wasted as I would have had no time to practice or write had I not taken the nights off.
This entry is boring.
Picture me as a space pirate instead.
