WEDDING PART II
Ok so I woke up at about 6am and sat in bed for a few minutes, then started the coffee in the lil coffee maker that they provide in the hotel room. Got in the shower with all my soaps and shampoo and what not. Had a nice shower and relaxed and took my time... I am already nervous at this time and am just tryin to be as calm as possible and just relax. Schedule says that I have to be ready an downstairs at 10 and thats fine. Hair appointments were at 11am.
So I got ready and made sure to be comfy so that I didn't feel up tight or anything. So Rochelle, Danille and Nicole and I, went in Danielle's car and Randy and Rochlle's mom (MA)went in Ma's car.
Danielle cannot drive... I cannot even remeber how many times I thought she was gonna hit another car on the way to Ann Arbor.
I didn't know what I wanted my hair to look like so I went through a few book and still didn't know when Moira came to get me and do my hair. I told her that she could do what she wanted and she could be the creative designer. Just as long as it wasn't ugly. So I ended up with a half up and half down braided thing with lots of curls...lol I loved it! Ok so I am a weirdo. Danielle had a picture of the way that she wanted and her stylist did it and it was great... But she hated it! OMFG is she ever happy with anything?
Rochelle's hair was simply beautiful and she had her veil put in it so she was beautiful. Hey she is gorgeous as is... so there was not much that they had to do to improve her... In my case I need some plastic surgery and a wreckin ball... lol jk.
So... the entire time Danielle is bitchin about Ma and how she is acting and what not. I need to explain a bit about Ma... She is a very strong willed person especially when it comes to Rochelle and sometimes she is very difficult to get along with. I would be too. Rochelle is her only child. She sometimes goes over the top about things... but she is a great person and decent to the core. This woman was the one that took me in when my family had forsaken me... So she is still My Ma... And in the eye of GOD Rochelle and her are my real family.
So this is Ma's and Rochelle's day. She is the MOTHER of the BRIDE... Danielle treated her the entire day like some person off the street and made her feel like shit. As she did to me most fo the time that I was there too.
Ok so anyway we are now on our way back to the hotel lookin all hot like we did. We had about an hour and a half to finish getting ready and what not till we went to the country club where we were gonna help Rochlle put her dress and what not on. So I went up to my room to get my things and I told Rochelle what the room number was just in case she wanted to go quicker or something. I get my make up on and stuff and I go through my suitcase to find my brand new clear strapped bra... ITS NOT ANYWHERE TO BE FOUND!
Ok so needless to say I am fuckin hysterical cause I don't have the money to just go out and buy another one because the dress ended up costing so much more than I expected. Ok so I said to myself "Whiskey... WHAT THE HELL ARE WE GONNA DO?" 15minutes went by and it came to me....
DUCT TAPE!!!!
I ran downstairs to my car cause I had left some in there after work one day... and low and behold my savior i had in my hand. lol. Ok you are think you are a fuckin nut, but I tell you what... IT WORKED!!!
I wrapped my shit up and made it look like I had a corset on... threw on the top part f my dress and discovered that the bra lining cups that they so called "created" was sewed to my armpits... lol... i had to rip one of the seams out on each side of the dress in the cups and make them the way I wanted them... ok So I basically duct taped those into place too. GOD IS SOOO GOOD TO ME!!! He created duct tape just for that moment so that he could laugh at me.
So at this point I put the skirt on and everything finally fit right after haveing to duct tape my boobs to my dress. I sigh because I am relived and I look good... crisis solved...
Well only to walk straight into a new and hurtful crisis... I call Ma's Room where the girls are and Ma tells me to come down to her room. I get down there and a groomsman I had met the night before said that they just left. So I go to Ma's room like she told me to and knock on the door thinking that she is in there and just in the bathroom or something. NOPE! THEY HAD ALL LEFT WITHOUT ME.
So I turn around and Danielle is callin down the hall for me and she is like why are you dressed? I in my most nicest voice that I could muster at that point was like "Where is everyone?" She said "Well they all left cause we thought that you would drive yourself." I turned around like the exorcist (pretty sure my head spinned) and walked straight back towards my room. She follows me and goes "Sharee come on?" I said, "No Bitch! I will drive my fucking self!"
So I am a fuckin mess. I go to my room to get my fuckin wallet, keys to the car, my fucking cell phone, and the rest of my shit cause I was so ready to just fuckin walk out at that point and call Danielle's ass up and say look bitch now you are gonna have to tell Rochelle the reason why she is one Bridesmaid short! I got in my car... I prayed and I screamed at the top of my lungs. I sat there and cried for a good 15 minutes... I had held everything inside myself for the last 6 months to get to this day where I could celebrate my friends happiness with her and some bitch wants to ruin it... I so lost it! FUCK GRACE! LOL anyway i sat there and calmed myself and since they weren't any where near ready I still had time to just drive for a bit so I drove past the country club and parked in the country and breathed. I took out my makeup wipes and took off the black stream of mascara that was on my face, redid my face, and went to the country club so that we could get it over with...
Ok so that wasn't the last time that she tested me and Ma. Ma had said that she was going to help Rochelle into her dress and Danielle right away snapped at her and took that one moment away from Ma. The mother of the Bride was not allowed to help her only daughter, only child, put on her wedding dress. I am saddened by this because I would want my mom there helping me with my dress.. but we don't get along.. so thats not going to happen either.
Ma held her tongue and I am so proud of her... But she shouldn't have had to do it. So the whole time me and Ma had to be in check and NO ONE corrected Danielle!! NO ONE! I wish I had the balls at that moment to just take her out and set her straight.
So finally it is time to walk the aisle and we did and Rochelle was beautiful... All the guys looked really good in their tuxes... Rochelle walked down the aisle with Ma and I cried... thanks god for kleenex tissue. There my sister was getting married...
It went faster than I thought it would. We were done and we walked out to do more pics and I got the most awesome comment from someone that I would never had guessed would say something but I will protect their identity... they said to me "You are absolutely gorgeous!" I knew they meant it too... so my mood was changed from psycho exorcist vomminting bitch to hey someone thinks I AM HOT! LOL.
After that everything was great... no worries... the food was great... The alcohol much better... I danced and told my groomsman not to look down my shirt or he would get an eye full of duct tape. lol he and I laughed.
All in all I am so fuckin glad that I won't have to deal with Danielle in a power position again. I won't put myself through holding my tongue again. I will plow her ass the next time she even looks at me funny.
The wedding was beautiful!
I said my good byes to Rochelle and Ma and I went back to the hotel and had the damndest time tryin to take off the DUCT TAPE without ripping my boobs off. I did and layed down and just as I was about to fall into sleep.... the damn phone rang lol.
It was Ma and I went down to her room and we talked for a good hour... I helped her take off her dress and we discovered lol that she had not taken the tag that the dress maker put on the inside of the dress off. She wore it all night long. Thank god it was on the inside and not on the outside. I would have caught it if it was...
I love you Rochelle and I wish you all the happiness in the world. Just that if you get married again, Danielle better not be the MAID OF HONOR. I won't hold back again... :) tee hee
yall don't laugh too hard at my expense lol i love DUCT TAPE... This girl is never wearing a bra again! Woot!
Whiskey
