Wacky Wedding



I went a wedding this past Sunday of a friend whom I dated briefly back in the day during my Yahoo "period" (it was a phase). We went out a few times, but I was not interested - he didn't speak to me for awhile but we eventually became good friends over time. He met someone, and I was totally happy for him (plus, I had met others too).

At the reception, his sister introduced herself and said, "Well, after all of those Yahoo online dating fiascos, you finally met your match!" I sunk into my chair and my boyfriend asked if I was one of the fiascos. Eeee...it showed all over my face. Then my friend sitting next to me said she was one of them too - what?! Yeah! - she went out with him once and wasn't interested either.

She and I went up to the sister later and had a good chuckle thanking her for not pointing fingers and/or naming names. Funnily, she then proceeded to introduce us to a long-time co-worker of our groom friend who had been tracking his love life over the years - she wanted to know who we were and what we looked like. Wow! And we thought we were innocently going to a wedding for a friend when factoids and tidbits were already known about our linked past with the groom. Ooo!

To add to the light drama, the bride does not like me much because the groom uses me as a pawn against her hanging out with her "ex" occasionally as friends. Oh well, what-ev...!

So, the story goes...hee hee, it was a lotta drama for one wedding, but it sure was interesting and rather fun! Greg sure learned a lot about me during this very eventful evening - ha!
