7.10.2006 ||> Worst. Wedding. Reception. Ever.
I'm going to paraphrase my boyfriend here because I cannot express in words how horrible the wedding reception was that we went to the weekend before last. But my friend Bashi definitely deserved better than what she got! (Although I suppose having that green card makes up for it...)
So this past weekend I had the pleasure of attending the worst wedding reception ever. The girlfriend and I drove to Pittsburgh early Sunday morning. We arrived 4 hours early, and only then did she remember that we had no gift. So we searched but couldn't find any suitable present and ended up with one that did not please her. Luckily, the reception was very close to the hotel and the shuttle service provided drove us. So I started off drinking at the hotel before leaving. I was not looking forward to the reception very much.
We arrived at the location, which was the 3rd floor of the Soldiers and Sailors Museum in Pittsburgh. It's an interesting building, and we managed to get a private tour of the building by a night guard later. Back at the party, I was thinking of the good part. I was surrounded by very interesting people from around the world. Some were very nice, others very unattractive, some scary. There where maybe 30 people total and 25 of the 30 were retired. I was the best looking man there which was nice for a change. The girlfriend and bride both agreed.
I was in hell at first. Then the bar and I became best friends. I drank 8 vodka drinks and was having a good time talking shit in my head and making friends with the wait staff. I was also enjoying watching the girlfriend with her old friend, the bride. They met while she was in the Peace Corps.
The reception was held in a building where Silence of the Lambs was filmed, no joke. I was drunk. The bride thought her husband was ugly and asked me to be in 3 way. My girlfriend and were wasted.
The trip home was fun. Girlfriend and I stopped at the flight 93 site in Shanksville, PA and took some really interesting pictures. We became slightly emotional and had to leave. Very powerful feelings came over me and I usually don't have that happen. We stopped on the way home and went into a flea market. Found some really cool Star Wars and ET drinking glasses that Burger King sold back in the 80's. My girlfriend found an original Battle Star Galactica thermos that I had to have. I am excited about that the most. We drove home down the old Lincoln Highway for a portion of the trip. Interesting road to travel. Many families were stopping on the road in the same places as us.
I have to say the trip was really fun. I could have done without the boringness of the reception. Thank you wait staff and vodka! I recommend seeing the flight 93 memorial. Stop off and buy something on the way back to the turnpike.
