Siting up I glanced around the table I shared with my parents and the newly wed couple, those plastic smiles were in place as the paid photographers snapped the pictures of this oh so 'joyous' moment as the video camera rolled at each end of the room capturing the entire night. Tess shook her head as my father stood up with his award winning smile and his champagne glass raised in the air "I would like to take this time to thank you on behalf of the couple for joining us on this joyous day." he said into the microphoneĪpplause erupted through the large hall much to my frustration. "I really love you guys, you know that?" I admitted with a giggle Actually, it was quite refreshing to sit next to two people who aren't fake and care for me unlike three fourth of this room. Both my best friends hated this miserable excuse of a wedding as much as I did and weren't trying to hide their obvious disinterest not that I minded.
"Tell me about it." Aaron added with a exasperated sighīiting my lip I stifled a fit of laughter as I watched Tess glance down at her wristwatch yet again as Aaron fiddled with the short golden trimmings of the tablecloth. "This is nauseating." Tess mumbled under her breath I expected this cheesy crap but having to get through it was a different story that proved to be more difficult than I originally predicted, even drunk. The applause died down as my mother took her seat beside Stacy who wiped the newfound tears from her cheeks as if she were actually touched by the load of crap my mother just spewed. Swirling the alcohol around my glass I released a unladylike like sound from my mouth as my mother finished her speech about how she wishes the couple a happy and long marriage.
