[QUOTE]We're going for the weekend. Maroon 5 (yeah I like them a lot, whatever) is playing at the Woodlands on Friday night, and we're going to that. Then Saturday during the day, we're going to a Viking (not the type of cuisine, the brand of stove) cooking class. Then drinking Saturday night.

[QUOTE]here's some details: it wasn't even the bride that was bad. she was very preoccupied because her dad (he's very elderly) was in the ICU and was unable to get out of the hospital. I felt terrible for her. when I got to the rehearsal dinner, the groom's sister introduced herself to me and when I said who I was, she said "Oh, you're the bridesmaid who's never around." (I had also missed the bridesmaid luncheon that day). then, Heather's sister told me she was mad at me for missing the bachelorette party. whatever. the rehearsal dinner wasn't too bad though. everyone treated me well. Heather gave me a "bridesmaid" t-shirt (it was a size medium, I knew it wouldn't fit) and a necklace for the wedding. the next day, I was asked to meet everyone at the hair salon at noon. I was on time, they were all late. I was the only one without the t-shirt on and had to explain to people that it was too small. I felt judging. it was completely stressful. we were so late because that is one family who expects everyone to wait for them and do whatever they want. the bride has eight (EIGHT) nieces and nephews, and a few of them rode in the limo with us all day. they were AWFUL. throwing stuff, jumping on people. their ages range from 13-8, so they're old enough to know better. we had to run a bunch of errands and every time we stopped somewhere, me and the other two bridesmaids were left in charge of the hellish children. I gave up when they rolled their eyes at me and mocked me for asking them to sit down. heather's sister (the MOH) was incredibly INCREDIBLY rude to the limo driver. everyone blamed everyone else for being late. we were supposed to take pictures at 4, and didn't get to the venue till 6 (when the wedding was supposed to start), and the family was just annoyed that the makeup artist and photogs were a little put-out. we had to put on our makeup in the limo, which sucked. it was an outdoor ceremony. it was 97 degrees outside. our dresses were long. everyone was dying. the pastor was long-winded. the invitation said "formal dinner to follow, formal dress required." yeah. it was a buffet. I'd be pissed if I rented a tux for a buffet. and the food was awful. <strong>AND NO ALCOHOL.</strong> there were about 20 kids at the reception, running around, screaming, bumping into old people, and the cake caved in because of them (it was a huge castle cake and the kids bumping the table so much caused it to kinda cave in). no one disciplined them. we were supposed to be gone by 11. no one cared. they made everyone stay till midnight. my mom and I were the ones who had to get the ball rolling for cleaning up. also, Heather copied a ton of stuff from my wedding. whatever. the groom kept making this huge production of tonguing the bride every 5 seconds. it was so fake. and gross. I give that whole wedding the finger.

sun, I think it was the long list of sucky things combined with my inability to drink away my sorrows that made it so bad

also, LC, if you're into dancing on a bar, there's Bar Houston.

I'm ALWAYS interested in dancing on a bar. I should've turned my interest in dancing on bars into a lucrative career.
