The last word on the wedding
10.28.04 (7:02 am)   [edit]

Well, everything went smoothly at the wedding. I woke up the following day and only felt embarrassed about two things, not bad for me.


 


If a cake is decorated with flowers you’d expect them to be made of sugar wouldn’t you? It wasn’t until I’d crunched it up that I realised it was plastic. Oh well, an easy enough mistake to make so I surreptitiously emptied my mouth into a Kleenex, hopefully nobody noticed. Later though there was an announcement, “the caterers are missing a blue plastic flower, can everybody please look for it because it has to go onto another cake tomorrow.” I pretended to look for it along with everybody else. Later still I was talking to the groom and he told me that the caterers were really upset about the missing flower because it was so expensive. I decided to own up. I had a quiet word with a stern looking woman and to my horror she announced “it’s OK everybody, the mystery of the flower has been solved. This man ate it.” Ugh.


 


Why is it that after a few drinks I think I can dance? As if that wasn’t enough, I (wrongly) think I dance really well. I’m not going to go into details, suffice to say had we been allowed more time I would have got her leg onto my shoulder.

Hey, i'd be embarrassed to be the one who was being so pushy about a blue plastic flower! i think that if they put it on a cake, you're well within your rights to eat it, regardless of what it's made from. I would have liked to see her face when you told her you ate it though.... :P

thank you. thats exactly what i needed after such a long, rotten day.
*hug*
Your posts always somehow make me smile :)
If its blue, you're not supposed to eat it. Nothing blue (well, almost nothing blue) is ever edible. Trust me on this one.

Dancing badly is nothing to worry about. Dancing badly is OBLIGATORY at weddings.

At least you didn't end up riding the groom across the dance floor in a horsey race. He was wearing red suspenders that made perfect reins, and I was shouting 'GIDDAYUP!' and laughing like a maniac.

That was something to wake up remembering, I can tell you. It still gives me nightmares, and it was years ago. He wasn't even my groom. And I'm usually so restrained on formal occasions, because I never know how to behave so I try to make myself small and unnoticeable.

I blame the punch.

(Re the plastic flowers - good one! That was just mean, wanting them back. I bet they charged a fortune for that cake, and reusing the flowers is just cheap.)

Aww, hope you're feeling better by the time you read this.

Now that you say that I can't think of anything blue that I would "usually" eat. Interesting. You sound though as if you're speaking from experience.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I feel much better now.

Don't you hate those first moments of the following morning when you start to remember? I woke the other Mr. Andaloo and said "please tell me the hotel owner didn't ask me to leave the dance floor because her public liability insurance didn't cover what I was doing"! He did that maniacal laughing thing, and that's when I knew I wasn't dreaming. UGH!

*attempts to make a lemon sucking face* *fails miserably*
aye, I'm speaking from experience. I ate playdoh. It was blue. Also, My friend made biscuits that were blue. I had a bite and it...frankly, didn't taste like a biscuit. Don't eat anything blue.

I concur on the blue food theory. Blue Cheese, blueberries, and blue martinis are the exceptions to the rule.
The one who should be embarrassed is the caterer. Frankly, I might have suggested that they had a liability issue with you and that you would be seeking damages from such an irresponsible act as to put non edible decorations that posed a health hazard upon a cake without a warning lable. The nightmares that you have suffered as a result have caused you to lose wages, lose your sex drive, and be morbidly obsessed with checking every thing that goes into your mouth.
As far as the "dancing" goes, that manager should be ashamed for making fun of someone with Tourette's syndrome and palsy. Shame on him/her!!!! That is what *I* say!!!

Oh my gosh. I am speechless. **clasps hands together and thanks God for putting someone on this earth who makes a bigger fool of himself then even I do. Ha ha ha ha ha. If it had been me, the leg over the shoulder would have been the opening act. lollllllll.

the party responsible for embarrassing you over a fricken plastic flower should be soooo ashamed...those plastic flowers should not be on a cake, #1 and since they were, they NOW belong to the bride and groom, #2,,,followed up by what sofp said!!!! and can we say tactless! man, mr. loops, some people! glad you otherwise had a good time....and i will always dance with you but please don't put my leg on your shoulder, cuz i am likely to dislocate them AGAIN! xoxoxo

Oh yeah, Halloween again. Time to get out the orange body paint and sit in the window again.

I think some folks need to have a few before they can give in to the lure of the dance floor! Word to the wise: always try to avoid the video camera.

lol oh my goodness. I don't think I'd have owned up to eating the flower. Especially not if I found out they were upset about it, and that it was expensive as well.

you're more courageous than I am.
