it's so strange,

you know, weddings. even though people all over the world do it with different ceremonies, procedures, expectations and such, every kind of culture has a thing like The Marriage.

i don't think i've ever seen so many relatives and friends ALL TOGETHER in one place at the same time before in my life. also, being a bridesmaid sucks. i think you really have to take the term "bridesmaid" literally - i became the bride's maid for an entire day. and in the case of my sister, i wasn't only her maid, or her servant, i was her SLAVE. hah. ok it wasn't THAT bad i suppose, but i pretty much had to take care of every single one of her needs, from accessorizing to answering her phone calls (including telling rude snacks delivery people directions to the church 10 MINUTES BEFORE THEY ALREADY HAVE TO BE HERE) to looking after the rings to holding the train of her dress to fixing her hair........ x__X

but all that is definitely nothing compared to the amount of work the bride has to do. there is just an INSANE amount of details to arrange and take care of! i don't think i ever want to get married now that i've seen the whole process. people who decide to get married and have weddings must REALLY want to get married if they are willing to go through all that trouble.

the wedding is at a bad time for me though because it is smack dab in the middle of all my midterms. which is why i'm ending this long rambling and going off to sleep.

and one last but very important but terribly belated thing:

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY ANGELA!!!!!

best wishes from the furthest corner of the hexagon.
