Thursday night I found myself awkwardly getting a pedicure across the room from two girls I was supposed to become friends with and be all bridesmaidy with and they talked quietly to each other, but my feet look awesome.
We went out to dinner at a nicer restaurant, and all I could think the whole time was that I wished Celisse was sitting there and we could talk about the food together, but finally after another awkward hour with my cousin (who was getting married) and the two other bridesmaids, our fourth showed up, and her name was Caitlan, and we got along immediately over a Brandi Carlile song on the radio, and I partied with her for the rest of the weekend.
I don't remember being the kind of person who becomes friends with people so quickly, but I think God is really gracious when you are in a weird spot, and she was a ray of sunshine for me. And I might actually see her again someday because she lives in Boise. Anyway.
The wedding was great. A tiny bit short on hip hop, but nothing short on fancy or food or whiskey sours (which I had never had until Caitlan let me try hers) so it was worth having a flight delay on each of our four flights, and getting lost on dark country roads with no iPhone for GPS several of the nights.
