Joelie and I went to a wedding last weekend in Connecticut. Joel was a groomsmen and he looked so cute in his tux. I realized throughout the night how there are some wedding traditions that I despise. This is the story about the one I despise the most;
The bride and groom were dancing their first dance when the DJ invited the wedding party to come to the dane floor to dance with the new couple. I watched as this petite pretty little blonde in her perfect fitting bridesmaid dress ran up to my husband in a heartbeat and started dancing with him. As I am watching my sister in law is explaining how she hates this tradition and how awkward it is for most people involved. Well let me tell you, this girl didn't feel awkward at all. She was twirling herself and shaking her hips...and I thought...my god...you are dancing with a married man...can you cut us some slack? As I continued watching, my heart sank into my stomach and I decided I despise this tradition...it is awkward watching another chick dance with my husband. It was just as awkward when I was single and I had to dance with married men...or weird single men who people were usually trying to set me up with. Either way...I DON'T LIKE IT!
Later on everyone was mentioning how that bridemaid was totally hitting on Joel. At first I thought that maybe it was my jealousy that was making me analyze every move she made...but it was confirmed by quite a few people. The happy ending to the story is that Joel felt so super awkward that he switched out and started dancing with his male cousin, Cord, who was also a groomsmen and they made a big silly dance out of it.
One more thing and my ranting will be over. If I was single and I was dancing with a married man I would dance as simplistic as I could out of respect for the man and his wife (who is most likely watching). I can't believe that girl (who definitely without a doubt knew that we were married)had no problem shaking her booty and hitting on a married man. In her defense...I think she had a few too many beers in her but still...no excuse!
Okay...done ranting now! :)
About Me
- Sarah
- I am 34 years old. I am a Long Islander (that's New York for the geographically challenged). I moved to Mississippi from Minnesota three years ago. I travel a lot even with my new baby in tow. I am always on the go hence the nomadic life of Sarah.
Sarah-fication...huh?
Well let me sarah-fy...heehee, I mean clarify. At the office I was originally known as "Five Second Sarah". It's not what you think! Apparently, it takes a minimum of five seconds for things to register in this brain of mine. After a while my co-workers didn't even want to wait that long, so they would go into long explanations until it finally "clicked". This process became known as "Sarah-fication".
