This week, I will be talking about the marriage between my uncle, Steven, and his fiancé Naomi. In this blog, I will talk about the day of the wedding and the days leading up to it.
Before going to the wedding, we visited our relatives in Pembroke. We stayed in Pembroke for three nights, then we moved to my aunt’s condo the night before the wedding. Before leaving to the wedding venue, I changed into my formal attire. I personally don’t like formal attire at all. I think formal clothes are expensive, limit movements, and uncomfortable. Fortunately, I was allowed to wear a T-shirt instead of the shirt that came with the suit. After changing into the clothes for the wedding, we left for the wedding venue.
When I stepped out of the car, the first thing I felt was hot. It was around 30º and I was very grateful that we would spend most our time inside the country club building. Unfortunately, the actual ceremony would happen outside. The ceremony was very nice, there were flowers, there were the rings, the vows, and a kiss at the end. The only thing that would’ve made it better, in my opinion, would be the weather. When we went back inside I sat on a couch until dinner time.
Soon, dinner time came. When the doors opened to the dining hall, I immediately went over to our table. After a few minutes, all the people were seated. I was placed with a few cousins, uncles, and aunts along with my family. After the first speech was made by uncle Simon, we got our first dish which was a salad. Although I didn’t like the salad, it would be our only green vegetables for the night. Soon another speech was given, and the next dish arrived. The new dish was some sort of pasta, it contained regular pasta and stuffed pasta. I really enjoyed the stuffed pasta because it just melts in your mouth. I remember having something very similar at a previous wedding. After most of the guests finished their 2nd dish, the final 3rd dish arrived. The final dish was a wonderful steak. After eating the steak, I was really full. After the three course meal, the bride and groom had their first dance. Uncle Rob and his band also played a few tunes. While the music was playing, a bunch of people jumped onto the dance floor. While people where dancing I was on my phone. I’m not really into dancing or really loud pop music. I soon left the dining hall for the lobby because it was quieter and comfier. I spent the rest of the night on the couch while the guest partied. Once it became 1:30, we had to leave because my grandfather was getting grumpy.
Overall, I actually liked the wedding. The food was great and for once nobody asked me to get up and dance. My favorite dish was definitely the steak because it was so juicy and tender. I felt this was one of my better wedding experiences I have had. The only thing that could have made it better, would be if the temperature was cooler. I also felt this wedding was a lot shorter or maybe it’s just me. In the end, I hope the next wedding I attend, will be just as good.
