so i am standing in the back of the church with my cousin kerry and friend linda... there's a girl sitting in front of us that looks really familiar with 2 gorgeous kids... i kept trying to place her... it was driving me nuts as to how i knew her... so familiar... then one of her daughters gets up (she's 4... or will be in january) and walks over to bring a man back to sit with them...
it's my ex-boyfriend ej...
THAT'S how i knew her... the last i had seen sally and ej was summer of 1999 when they announced they were preggers...
prior to that, i'd been invited to their wedding (ej and i dated when we were 18... so it was a long time ago and the wedding was january of 99)...
the dj called all the single girls out onto the dance floor... and the bouquet was thrown...
i was standing on the outskirts sort of with my arms at my side, or folded.... whatever, i really wasn't grasping for it - as far as i can remember...
of course, this acts as a magnet to flowers... and the bouquet of my ex-boyfriend's new bride lands in my hands...
i think i am on the video looking shocked as heck... unfortunately, they didn't have a garter toss.
at the end of the evening, i think i may have blathered or slurred to ej's parents "well.. this is ironic, isn't it!?"
oh well... he was (and is) a swell egg - hadn't talked/emailed him in a year... and it was a pleasant surprise to see him and his family... the girls are so darned cute!
wound up giving him my email address right before communion - he let me cut in line for communion - so i will be going to hell... heh.
anyway, then kerry and i headed over to rod's olde irish tavern for brunch afterward (corned beef sammich, bloody marys and nutty irishmen coffee drinks)
so far, the day's been interesting...
oh, and mom's pissed at me and just stormed out of the house... what else is new?
