2023-06-03: the wedding

it was lovely. last minute venue change, but it didn't matter; the ceremony was short, everyone looked sharp, and there was lots of time to mingle after. open bar, but i was the dd, so i just had diet pepsi all evening, grabbed hors d'ouevres as they passed by, picked at a slice of red velvet cake (i don't like cream cheese icing).

saw an old friend who i hadn't seen since before the pandemic, found out she'd separated, then divorced. had my ass slapped by an elderly lady as i was heading outside. i wasn't angry, more amused. and almost 30 degrees in the mid-evening even in the shade of large trees. unseasonable for early june. it was lovely, and it was hot.
