Internet, I'm sorry for not posting part 2 of this story. I've been busy, but here it is.
Okay, so the wedding date is April 3rd. Let me tell you about my weekend in H-E-L-L when I had to help The Fajita with her over-detailed wedding invitations. On this particular Saturday, I went with Red to buy some Western wear (I live in Texas, so yeah, a hat and boots are necessary items around here) because the idiot cannot shop on his own. But, he neglected to mention that what he
really wanted was for me to work for
free with Bridezilla on her invitations and all the other crap that she's doing. But, being the Genius Extraordinaire that I am, I anticipated this move and asked Kro and Pheeves to pick me on up on their way to dinner. So, Saturday wasn't that bad. I worked on a map that they needed. Big deal. That's what Google Maps and Mapquest are for.
On Sunday, though, it's a whole different story. And I was a BITCH in heels cuz I was PISSED OFF at the ridiculousness (is that even a word?) of the whole situation. On Sunday, my friend SuZ called and begged for us to make time in the afternoon to help The Fajita. Damn. Being the kind-hearted person that I am, I said OK. So Sunday afternoon was spent working on trash. Seriously, because wedding invites are trashed soon after the event. Right? I redid the map that The Fajita wanted four times (1-2-3-FOUR!) because The Fajita and Red had different "ideas" on the map. In the mean time, they had a posse of twelve people working on everything else that ranged from cutting and ironing ribbon (WTF!) to taping and hole punching cards to tying ribbons and re-ironing ribbon to gluing ribbon on paper on paper on paper and re-ironing everything again, etc., etc. It's a good thing SuZ bribed me with Starbucks or I would have passed out after 10 minutes of this bullshit. No wonder The Fajita is all stressed out. Her stupid invites have soooooo much detail (and not necessarily in a good way) that she can't do it all herself so she freaks and calls everybody saying we
need to help. Here are some of my favorite phrases from Sunday: "I already paid for it so now we HAVE to use it!" "It's MY wedding!" "I want it like this, not like that!" "That's not what I want. Do it again." "No." "No." "No." "I don't think so." This is what was going through my mind: "Bitch. I'm gonna kick ya."
I'm thinking that if I ever get married, it's gonna be at the Courthouse and I'm going to have a BBQ in my parents backyard. Kinda redneck, but I like the idea more and more after hanging out with this crew.
TTYL.
