Feast Recap
May. 11th, 2002 01:16 pmSo we go over to Feast, driving because the rain was falling in a frequency that was somewhere between Spitting and Buckets.
I found to my utter disappointment that Feast has taken their breakfast punch smoothie off of the menu. I ordered something I think was called the Feast Fantasia. Very strawberry, that.
It turns out Ann and Tim asked us along to brunch to ask me to do a reading at their wedding!
It was actually kind of funny how I got asked. They brought up their wedding plans, and then Ann was saying how she's been to so many weddings, and Tim said he's only been to one, really, and he was 10 years old at the time. So this whole wedding thing will be very new for him, the whole process, the planning thing, etc.
So then I talked about the ten million weddings I've been to, rattling them off, and then realizing with a weird shock the number of the weddings I've been in, either as a reader, a singer, a bridesmaid, a witness. I waxed rhapsodically, sort of looking off into space, but in the corner of my eye I noticed that Ann and Tim seemed impatient, in that friendly way people sort of wriggle or try to make eye contact with you when you're waxing rhapsodic about ugly polyester dresses and such, when they want to add a rejoinder, tell their own anecdote.
So I looked back at them, grinned, gave them the opening pause, and Tim looked right at me, and said, "Well, would you like to do it again? Read at a wedding, that is?"
And I just about fell into a million happy pieces right there, a grin across my face, and I said, "Really?" and they both nodded, and I said, "I would be honored."
Currently there are no set plans for the readings or ceremonial words or anything, so I look forward to writing stuff with Tim over the next several months. I hope I can come up with something really special and good and stuff.
That just fucking made my day, man.
