Sandi's Wedding

I've just returned from a whirlwind weekend in Dallas for my sister Sandi's wedding. We flew in Friday evening after many delays due, first, to poor airplane maintenance, and second, bad weather. I left the hotel once the entire weekend. We stayed at the beautiful Adolphus downtown, where the wedding was held and it was fun to see everyone- all the sibs, and the nieces and nephews and such. We all had our significant others with us so we were all pretty mellow.

Sandi's wedding was very nice and simple (fitting for a middle-aged second marriage, rather like Charles and Camilla) but I find it so exhausting to have to get all dressed up and remain presentable for more than a couple of hours. Especially after a cocktail or two. I was the DJ for the ceremony, which entailed switching among 3 songs Sandi had chosen for the various entrances and exits. The Wedding Song went on for so long that the maids of honor were throwing me filthy looks.

After the wedding and the dinner, a small group of us took over the jazz lounge and I polished off a bottle of red wine alone so today I'm rather weary. It's wonderful to be back home now, I'm going to scour the kitchen for dinner then go to bed. Ta ta.
