I went to an awkward wedding today. It was kind of a "friend-of-a-friend" thing. The groom is best friends with my best friend's husband. We'll call her Agnes. I think the only reason I was invited was to keep Agnes company, because I'm not close to either the bride or the groom.
The bride is kind of an unfriendly, controlling bitch. I only say "kind of" because I've never gotten the chance to know her because she comes off as an unfriendly, controlling bitch. In a subtle way. It's nothing personal towards me or her, it's just the dynamic of how she acts. I know you know the kind of girl I'm talking about.
Anyway, I sat through a boring and beautiful at the same time Catholic mass, then headed over to the reception with Agnes. The bride and groom made their way over to where we were sitting. I started to tell her how beautiful she looked, when in the middle of my sentence she broke eye contact with me and started talking to someone else. Um, okay? That was wierd, but I guess it's her wedding, she doesn't have to be polite.
Then, the toasts were awkward because both the maid of honor and the best man admitted in their speeches that they don't know the groom/bride very well but wish them happiness.
Isn't it a bad sign when your best friends don't know the person you just married? I could never marry someone who my family and friends didn't know on a significant level. It just blows my mind.
I really do hope that the new couple is very happy together, even though there are ominous signs...
