The wedding is beautiful, from the entrance to the dress to the perfect 'I do' between Jessie and Erin, to the beautiful reception. Everyone dances and sings along to a few songs in Spanish, from Selena's 'Bidi bidi bum bum' to 'Taki Taki' by DJ Snake. Everyone is on their feet dancing and having the time of their lives
"Time to kick it off with some of the good stuff!" The DJ says over the mic, "Who's ready to Cha Cha?!"
Everyone yells in excitement, Leslie and the others running over to grab my hands to pull me to the dance floor
"Let's do this, putas!" Leslie smiles, clapping to the beat of the song
I am not the greatest dancer in the world, but I manage with the cha-cha which is the universal black wedding dance song. I'm so glad I wore a shorter dress because when the Cupid Shuffle plays? I definitely am glad for less fabric to my dress. 'Uptown Funk' by Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars plays next, along with 'Crazy in Love' by Beyonce, then Cardi B's 'I Like It". I am honestly feeling this mix right now, and I bring out a few of the dorky dance moves that were installed in me at birth
"Ahhh shit! The dork is out!" Adrianne laughs, dancing alongside me with Aria on my other side
"Go ahead, mama! Let it out!" Leslie shakes her hips next to me
"I said I like it like that!" Cardi B raps over the speakers
I look over to see Erin and Jessie dancing with each other, smiling and laughing. They're already so cute!
"I see you girls are having some fun!" Adrianne's mom, Mrs. Perez, walks over to us, holding a drink in one hand and a camera in the another
"Si mami!" Adrianne smiles, "So much fun with mi amigas!"
"Your amigas cheetahs!" Aria winks, "I need a drink!"
"Save me one!" I nod, "I'm going to be right back"
I walk over to where I stashed my phone, grabbing it to make a quick phone call to Anissa
"Hey babe", I hear Anissa's tired voice, I can tell she's a little tired so I make a note to keep the phone call short, "How's your day?"
"Pretty good! The wedding was beautiful!" I tell her, looking around at the building lobby area, "We're in the middle of the reception right now but I wanted to call to talk to you"
"I'm glad you had a great day" I hear her yawn
"I did, how was yours?"I ask her, "You sound tired"
I hear the music from the reception get a little louder, muffled words from the DJ hyping everyone up for, no doubt, another great song
"Yea, I just spent a few hours in the hospital after a drunk driver wreck, then I had to file paperwork for the wreck then file for chargers to be placed on the driver" Anissa says, sounding more tired by the minute
"That sounds intense, is the victim okay?"
"Victims" Anissa corrects me, "One was unresponsive at the scene, but I gave her CPR before she was sent to the hospital. She was unconscious when I left the hospital, but the doctors say she will be fine. The other one is just badly beaten up from the airbag, she should be fine"
"Oh wow, let me guess? The drunk driver is alive and well?" I roll my eyes
"You guessed it" I hear movement in her background, but it just sounds like something hitting the floor, "Alive enough to get a few felony charges"
"Damn" I shake my head, shifting my phone from one side to the other
"I don't want to hold you from the wedding babe," She says, sounding even more tired, "Go enjoy yourself"
