Back to wedding 5/5! This was the wedding of my friend Kyle, and his lovely now-wife Jamie. Kyle is a friend from my high school job and a few years ago his job brought him to San Diego. We've literally grown up together and he has always been one of my most favorite people in the world. I can't blame him for choosing the hottest day in the world to get married.

| Apartment planners really need to reconsider AC placement. |
We talk about sweat a lot on this blog, I know. But seriously in the 10 years I've lived in San Diego, I have never experienced temperatures above 100 degrees. There was no way to gracefully deal with it. As evidenced above. Luckily Justin's apartment has AC so I got to have my Marilyn moment. Dreams come true, you guys.
Was that tangent #2? Does it seem like I'm avoiding the topic at hand here? Maybe I am. Maybe because an ex-boyfriend (that I kind of have a strange history with. Not kind of. Totally.) was at this wedding and him and Justin immediately bonded. THE ENTIRE NIGHT. I literally had to shush Justin when the ceremony began. Omg you two can talk after, seriously calm down. I'll meet you two when you are done taking BFF pictures in the photobooth. No, it's fine you two hang out I'll just continue to deal with my awkwardness by drinking. All the drinks.
Yes, I was incredibly awkward about it. But you know what's really great? Justin wasn't, at all. And that is something that I cannot take for granted because a lesser man would've been a complete asshole about it or just as awkward as I was. Did I mention I was being awkward about it? And when they exchanged phone numbers and probably secret handshakes, all I could do was laugh. I'm pretty sure this is what being an adult is. Dealing with life's really strange moments gracefully. Or with whiskey.
My favorite moment of this wedding happened as I was dancing with one of the groomsmen, yet another hometown boy who is know a full-fledged hipster, the Brooklyn kind. This is probably one of my favorite conversations of all time.
him: Tiffany, DANCE!
me: *dances*
him: NO, not like that! Dance better.
There is no dancing better when you've been taking whiskey shots and are in 4-inch heels. There is only balancing.
And because this post isn't long enough, I'd also like to mention that in my hungover state on Sunday, Leeann and I met Christina! For brunch with bottomless mimosas! My first time meeting a blogger IRL was everything I hoped it would be and I've decided that if she lived in San Diego, we would be super friends.
And now I'm going to crawl back in bed.
OMG I would be SUPER awkward in that situation too! I'm glad to hear that your bf handled it so well though. Kudos to him. And congrats on making it through Wedding Bonanza 2012 :) (until December anyways)
ReplyDeleteYou are hilariousssss! hehe =) Anddd I probably would have died of awkwardness so it sounds like you pretty well.
ReplyDeleteAlso, can I be included next time you get together with bloggers. Pretty please? =)
"dance better!" ahahahahaahahahaha.
ReplyDeleteYou have had so many damn weddings. I hate them, have I told you that? I know I told you I hate sharks already.
i am so with you on the fact that apartments need better ac placement. in fact, any ac placement in our place would be nice.
ReplyDeleteYou should have tripped up Brooklyn boy on the dance floor...WTH? And I would have drank all the drinks too if Ross became sudden BFFs with my EX. Guys are just cool like that...but us women....the claws come out! You made it through five...time for a high five!
ReplyDeleteOmg I can't even imagine having your current bf decide to be bff with an ex bf! I am such an awkward human being that I get hives just thinking about that happening to me haha. I guess that makes me a huge weirdo! Love your AC photo. I would do the same thing!
ReplyDeletethere's so much pressure when someone expects you to dance on cue! :)
ReplyDeleteOH WOW, I would die if my current BF would meet my ex, then again I don't have a current so that's that. ;) But you really handled it nicely girl. :) Good job!! I think we just think too much when it comes to that. Not sure.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah on balancing it all...the shoes, the booze...wow!
I think that this event just solidifies the psychic's claim that he is your future husband. Really, can a person be any cooler? Well... I guess I can't technically say that since I have yet to meet him!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up! And giving me a few laughs at your mimosa drinking!
Haha!! I could see my husband say this to me about dancing too :) How fun to meet up with other bloggers :)
ReplyDeleteListen it sounds like you need to get a personal secretary. Have your people call their people.
ReplyDeleteI know I say this all the time but this time it's x10. I need to develop my own numbering system for how much I love stuff. That picture up top I lovex10. So a perfect picture of how freaking hot it was and how desperate all of us were to get cool. I don't care if we seem like whiners to people who live in hell-like temps. We ARE NOT used to it, okay! I have to use that disclaimer every time I talk to someone from Texas.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah and I lovex10 that Justin became bffs with your ex. Only because as a woman who's been with a variety of douche-bags it feels good to be with a man that people genuinely like (I have that now with Mr. Popular Bosworth and I'd want that for you.) Sure it's awkward, but in the long run, it's a great thing to have.
ReplyDeleteWe saw a wedding going on at Balboa Park on Saturday and it looked so miserable! I thought of you sitting in the heat all dressed up. Yuck! Dance better?! Hahaha! Sounds like something everyone in the world would say to me. I love Justin. Yeah, I don't know him, but I love everything you say about him. Yay for a break in weddings! And seriously, I had so much at brunch! I hope we can hang out again!!!
ReplyDeleteJustin sounds like the greatest dude ever. Does he have any brothers/friends/cousins for me and Allie? Please?
