My friend got married this past Saturday. Since no one cares to talk wedding stuff except other brides (and you guys), her and I have been each other's wedding discussion buddy for months going over all details with one another. It's also the only wedding I'm invited to this year so I was really excited about it.
She had told me she wasn't doing a first look. So we arrive at 4:50 and see the bride & groom taking professional photos. I said to FI "Oh I guess she did decide to do the first look after all! But we are doing ours in a private section where the arriving guests won't see us". So I stand there for a few minutes watching and then I realize the servers are bringing them food and drink...I'm like wait a minute. I run to the only ONE person I know attending and she says the ceremony was at 4:30. Aaaahhhh! I have no idea why I didn't look at the invitation because I just had it stuck in my head for months that it was at 5!!! I felt like such a douche, but we swore never to let the bride know and just pretend I was there the whole time. I am so bummed that I didn't get to see it.
And then FI wasn't feeling well so we bailed before the dance floor was even open! Super sad face! I was so looking forward to the whole evening and it just sucked that I missed so much of it.
