Mom of the Missus

A tap dancer, a minister and a lawyer walk into a bar and the bartender says “What is this, a joke?”
What a fabulous week we had of partying and hanging out. Although the planning that remained for the week was minimal we were busy every day. My aunt and uncle hosted a clam bake at their house one night. Sarina and her mom, Saskia, arrived mid-week. With Sarina in the house the real partying began. The wedding itself went so fast that having the week before hand with family and friends was priceless. By Friday everyone had arrived at the beach and the rehearsal dinner was a big bash that included all the wedding guests. It was so much fun!
The whole week and wedding went smooth as silk. The closest thing we had to a glitch I prefer to think of as a classic wedding moment. With perfectly coiffed hair and our precision make up applications Tiffany and her maids and I ventured out to the already cool and running truck to go to the aquarium to dress there. Albert was driving and I guess a little anxious. Although there was no hurry, he began driving faster and faster. All in the same moment I said “slow down” and Tiffany said “you’re getting pulled over.” Mind you, it is quite humid in coastal North Carolina at the end of May. I guess as a safety precaution the officer made us roll down the rear window – to make sure we did not pull a bouquet on him? The policeman asked Albert if he knew how fast he was driving. Did he know what the speed limit was. What was the hurry. Where were we headed. You know the drill. Finally I could not take any more and I explained from the back seat that our hair was going to wilt and our make up would melt if he did not let us put the windows up. So after we answered his questions about the wedding, he congratulated Tiffany and sent us on our way without a ticket.
A pirate walks into a bar with what appears to be a paper towel on his head. The bartender asks “What’s with the paper towel?” and the pirate replies “Argh, me gots a Bounty on me head”.
The aquarium was such a fairytale setting -- it felt like we were under the sea. My niece, Taylor, thought that the whole “party” was for her. We had gift bags for our guests hotel rooms, and Taylor’s family’s bag had special “little girl” items for her. The place cards were photos of the guests, so Taylor was greeted by a picture of herself at her seat. There was a candy bar for the guests which of course had a special appeal to her. And the aquarium itself is built-in entertainment for kids. (link to shark tank video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94_d9euTRDo My nephews, Billy and Tyler, danced the night away. I think everyone had fun.
Tiffany’s dress was everything she wanted it to be. Not often in life do we get perfection, but her dress was truly perfect. She looked like an absolute angel. It could not have been more special.
Tiffany and Mike planned to have cupcakes for the wedding. When Tiffany met with the baker, she changed her mind and decided to have a cake. People kept asking me where the cupcakes were. But the cake was gorgeous! It was three layers and three flavors. I tasted the chocolate and the almond and they were both delicious.
What did the lifeguard say to the hippie? “You’re too far out, man”.
After the wedding, Tiffany and Mike spent a few days wandering back up the coast. Tiffany called it a “mini-moon”. They spent a few days on Ocracoke. They also went to Kill Devil Hills to see the monster truck, Gravedigger. And in Virginia Beach they had “old timey” wedding portraits made. -- so cute!
