I love this song.
I was in Miami this past weekend for a wedding! My cousin, DEEG, though technically already married threw herself a rocking party for her friends and family in Miami.
Lots of upside to this wedding for a bunch of reasons. Anyone remember this comedy? Same crew, same town, new situation. My mom was not coming as she's on the 15 Day Disabled List, but lots of potential for crazy with the Bump, my pops, and the rest of this zany crew.
It was going to be a bang, bang, in and out trip for a bunch of reasons. But as my brother later pointed out it was mostly so he could avoid hanging out with Manolo for an extended period of time.
Bump feigned being ill on the drive down. When we stopped to get gas I walked into the rest area to get some airborne for us and a green tea for the kid. Of course Bump grabs a red bull and a green tea and my dad has his 3rd cup of coffee as a chaser to the airborne i hand him.
We spend the rest of the ride bouncing off the walls and taking turns demanding to pull into rest areas so we can use the bathroom and accelerate our collective caffine induced dehydration.
At the hotel, we grab a quick lunch. Soon several cousins stop by proclaiming that yesterday at the rehearsal dinner was fun. One also proclaiming that nothing was his fault. As he left my dad asked me what that was all about, I asked him how much he really cared.
As he took a bite of his grouper sandwhich he stuck out his hand palm side down lightly fluttered it in such a way that I unsure if he was answering "not much" or telling me his sandwhich was at best ok.
No one said anything else at the table till we were done eating.
As we got on the trolley, a stocky fellow grabbed me and handed me a sheet. Apparently I was meant to read this at the church. It was in spaSo the translation nish, I had not read it or prepared so I started looking at it.
Getting on the trolley a stephen king look a like stops me and says "holla". Bump asks him to stop being racist. It turns out to be the groom's father. he has a corona in his hand, we're on our way to a church. Actually everyone has a corona in their hand, except me. Had I stayed at the Day's Inn I'd have more beer money.
At the church, the ceremony starts. While I read what I have to say over and over. The grammer on this stuff is wrong by the way...way wrong, even in english its an awkward sentence. The translation must be busted.
I'm judging the collective ability of my family to structure sentences, clearly they are frequent visitors to the xTian School of bad grammer and run on sentences. While thats going on, Bump is doing a comedy routine for my dad. The priest is happily ignoring us.
My reading goes off without a hitch but I get to sit at the alter while Stephen King does a reading. DEEG is facing the alter as well and breaks into a laugh during something about obeying your husband. I can't stop myself and let out a squeel. My uncle who is sitting next to me grabs me tersely by the neck. I put my face in my hands. Oh god, I just got here and already I suck.
