V's wedding
Oct. 20th, 2004 08:11 amOh my... SO TIRED, I've been so tired all week. Getting 8 hours of sleep seems not to be enough at all. Is it the change in the weather? The in-law visit? The aftereffects of bopping to CA and back?
Well, it was good to be in V's wedding, which is what the CA trip was about. I edited a poem for her ( before and after ) and read it during the ceremony. People say I did well, I don't know. I did keep it really slow to deal with the acoustics. Anyway, to my surprise the officiant made certain lines into a big deal during the next little bit of talking that he did, and talked about their union in terms of the poem! Then I felt all special. V looked lovely and frazzled and happy, of course. I've decided I like it when friends get married. :) I got to see W, an old friend of V's and mine from MIT, and also an old friend of HLM's who we stayed with. Very nice. And then we flew home.
Edit: I forgot to mention all the God stuff in the ceremony... lots and lots of God stuff. That surprised me, since V is not especially religious. What comes over people to do that on dressy occasions when the parents are there!? Ack, I'm so glad we didn't succumb to whatever temptation there must be.
I'm avoiding thinking about tae kwon do. My month off was over a couple of days ago, but there's a whole other post in what I could say about that. Ech. I almost wish I had an injury or something so I had an excuse to stay out.
