Experience Challenge #5 -Wedding Shenanagins



This past long weekend was crazy. I got to play a part in a friend’s wedding for the first time ever! I was asked to be a bridesmaid and help my friend in preparation of her wedding. I have been in a bridal party before but that was for family and I couldn’t have been any older than 10 at the time. This time around it was fun but a wee bit stressful now that I got to participate and help out rather than just stand there with some flowers.
The wedding was a huge success. The venue was beautiful and the weather was nothing short of stunning. It was warm and sunny all day and at night we had a little lightning show off on the horizon. I danced until my feet couldn’t handle my high heels, tossed those and danced some more.This blog will lack nice wedding photos because they haven't been shared quite yet.
I guess I can cross two things off my experience challenge. I participated (Unwillingly) in a drinking game. All the bridal party was lined up beside the groomsmen and we all had to chug back a glass of beer. As soon as I was dragged to the stag I could feel my stomach turn. I hate the smell of beer let alone the taste of it. I don’t drink often so this was going to be a mess. We played drunken waterfall with the team who loses the bride or groom had to ‘drink the boot’.
 "Ah fuck"

I tried my best but I was up against Englishmen so all in all it wasn’t all too fair but our lovely MC called it a tie despite the bridesmaids struggle. Both the bride and groom drank from a shoe afterward to celebrate the tie. WTF rugby traditions. I didn’t feel all too good after but the feeling soon passed and it was back to dancing until midnight.
