Awkward moments

-My Aunt Audrey's Wedding-

Well it all started out when I was asked to be my aunt's bridesmaid. Mostly because she had no other person she would ask but I knew she'd never actually tell me that. Do t get me wrong , I felt like the most special niece in the world at that moment and I was honored she chose me. I was around twelve years old I think. I was a really shy kid and all. I had to walk down the aisle in front of a bunch of people I did not not and was not looking forward to it. That wasn't the worst part though... I had to walk the little ring bearer beside me which was quite the chore. This little boy was so cute and was in love with barbies. He also loved to have his nails painted in glitter, which he showed off at that moment. Maybe it was just a phase but I'm not so sure myself. Before the rehearsal dinner my aunt had bought me a wedding Barbie doll. It was basically just Barbie in the whole bridal getup veil and all, and the box also had a jumbo sized shitty ring in there with it. As a child I didn't really know much about quality and all that but I did know it was a great Barbie that I was definitely gonna add to my collection. I would carry this Barbie with me wherever I went before that wedding. The ring bearer was about 6-7 years old and fell in love with the doll. So much in love to where he had to carry that thing with him at all times. He was obsessed with it. Being the nice kid I am I understood his fascination and let him hold on to it. Although I was still worried he would somehow ruin it in any shape or form and hoped he wouldn't. He didn't but he almost did. When it became time for me and him to walk down before the bride, he wouldn't budge unless Barbie was with him. So then I'm like here's Barbie now let's walk. Everyone stares because it takes more than two minutes to get this kid to walk (down the aisle while I throw petals. I was also their flower girl, but was still considered a bridesmaid. The ceremony was held inside a small church that was inside the hotel we were staying in for those couple of days so the aisle was not that long a walkway.  Finally we take our seats and then the vows are done after fifteen minutes of blah and we move onward to the reception.  At first it is boring until we got our food. U know the drill at receptions where u listen to speeches and all that. A little while after everyone finishes talking and eating they start to play music, mostly dancing tunes. Ones that everyone but the older people(70+) knew.  Well ....Thriller starts to play a while after we are served our entrée and desserts.  The cake was garbage by the way but the side desserts were good.  I get hyped up into a dancing mood.  During thriller I run to the small dance floor and try to go along with the other peoples moves which was humiliating in a way because I had no clue about the steps but I danced anyways because I love to dance.  I was having so much fun.  More songs started to play and I would actually try and drag random members from the grooms family to dance or to dance with me.  I was even all like " yeah come on ... Dancing is FUN!!!," or "WATCH THIS!..." From the time I finished eating to near the time the wedding reception ended I stayed on that dance floor.  I know I danced more than I had ever danced before as a kid and it did not phase me except for knowing I made that wedding a memorable one. I'm pretty sure that I'm known as the crazy bridesmaid, and there was no alcohol in me.  Imagine how embarrassing it would've been if I were the legal age to drink in combination with the dancing.  Oh lord I'd die of humiliation lol.  I remember getting a ton of looks from people because of how I was acting or even how I looked.  If you are a girl I sure you understand how some old timey minded people are on if you wear makeup as a child or wear a dress they think is revealing when it's actually not... I was wearing a tiny bit of mascara with light purple eyeshadow, lip gloss and blush(done by the hairstylist). So yeah, also my hair looked like Goldie locks from the old children's story because I had wanted curls in my hair.  I did not specify because I didn't really know the difference of curl types right then. I got large spirally curls alright.  That is another embarrassing thing.  By the end of the night I completely wore out my one inch heeled shoes and my feet did not hurt until I took them off in the hotel room, almost as if I was invincible to any foot pain while dancing lol.  This concludes the story on my aunt's wedding.  Figured I'd let u guys hear about this one.
