Seeing people, Mounties, and babies at Jeff and Anita's wedding / Alcohol, Slang, and Personality

Jeff and Anita's wedding was great! They looked so happy, and we were all excited for them! I saw a lot of people, some of whom I hadn't seen for some time: Brad and Natalie (who are in Calgary); Josh and Joanna L. (who are in Toronto, and he says he misses my emails); Vernon and Sarah C. (who needs a name for her baking business); Warren, Lauren, baby Matthew, Joe, Helen, baby Nathaniel; Mel; Ed (who's in Seattle); Kenny, Winnie, and baby Megan; Michael, Amanda (who's pregnant with kid #3), plus their kids Ethan and Seren; Larry, Sandra, and little Joshua; Lucas and Hannah; Ted, Tracey, plus their kids Melissa and Emily Lee; Susan, plus her kids Sheldon and Kalena; Kingsley and Kittie, plus their kids Adam, Justin F., and Natassja; and many more people. As I was saying to someone, weddings are good for that sort of thing! I saw a bunch of the Awana leaders, my friends, and teens, too: Isabel, Tina, Julie S., Elaine S., Mark, Emily Lam, Phil Y., Melia, Vivian Lam, Sheena, Helen and Danny, Sophia and John (her dress was so flowing, you can't tell she's pregnant... so she joked about leaving the baby at home!), John Law, Phil C., Karen Chan, Karen Choo, Billy, Stella, Cindy, Dianne, Rich, Irene, Citrus, Danielle, Denise, Justin L., Frances, Justin C., Clement, Nathan, Randal (who's already started the book I gave him last night), Lesley (who's going to China on a missions trip next Friday), Tim and Maxine, Jackie, Emily C., Maisie, Sam, Joey, Michael, Margaret, Hannah L., Hannah W., Michelle C., Mary, Sarah, Lillian, Daniel, Chung, Esther, Wes, Jason, Lee, Lily, Quan, Hien, David, Michelle W., Julie C., Priscilla, Joanna K., and others. All the people I hadn't seen in a long time look different in some way, especially the kids! Everyone's pregnant and having babies, as well: Rent-A-Baby, for the newest summer fashion accessory! ;)

We talked about the wedding, the "reject party" at Melia's later on for all the people who weren't invited to the banquet, summer plans, life, updates, and the reception food. I wish I'd gotten Josh's email address, but I might get it later on if I see him tonight... I'm not sure that he's invited to the banquet. He thought that I always carried a pen with me: normally I do, but I was in too much of a rush this morning to even take a handbag. Instead, he put his digicam on "microphone mode" and had me say / spell my email address for him.

Jeff and Anita had an honor guard of some RCMP officers there, and Steph was looking at all the Mounties. At least one of them had a wife and baby, so he was off-limits! It was an interesting wedding, since I've never been to one with officers before. The program was neat, too... Anita was "bride / team leader / wanted for possession of an officer," Jeff was "groom / co-team leader / wanted for theft of Anita's heart," Esther (the maid of honor and one of Anita's sisters) was "wanted for causing excessive laughter from team leader / instigating a wedding riot," the best man was "wanted for espionage and loyal allegiance to co-team leader," Sabrina (Anita's other sister and the other maid of honor) was "wanted for aiding to commit a wedding," and Jason Y. was "wanted for failing to appear as an usher." Hahahaha!

Looking forward to tonight's banquet! :D

Pictures to come when I get around to checking my sister's ImageStation / deciding which ones to steal. ;)


Your Virgo Drinking Style

Hey brainiac, you are compelled to impose order onto your bender.
Your famously fussy quest for purity could lead to drinking less than other signs, sure...
But it could also lead to drinking booze neatly (like sucking down organic wine or having extreme brand loyalty).
You rarely get fully shellacked -- but, oh, when you do!

Virgo's controlled by the intellect, but there's an unbridled beast lurking within, and they let it loose when walloped. It's dead sexy (and surprisingly unsloppy). As one Virgo friend used to declare, "I'm going to drink myself into a low level of intelligence tonight." A toast to the subgenius IQ!
Your Signature Cocktails
Many Virgos prefer clear / simple / untreacly drinks like vodka tonic or a real margarita, though you can be found drinking anything from unflinchingly downing Cuervo straight to smirkingly ordering a dirty virgin. You also tend to like bitter, low-alk guzzles like Campari and soda. However, you rarely change your signature drink once you've found it.
Your Celebrity Drinking Buddies
Cameron Diaz, Hugh Grant, Keanu Reeves, Nicole Richie, Bill Murray, Jada Pinkett Smith, Adam Sandler, and Ricki Lake.





You are elegant, withdrawn, and brilliant.
Your mind is a weapon, able to solve any puzzle.
You are also great at poking holes in arguments and common beliefs.

For you, comfort and calm are very important.
You tend to thrive on your own, and shrug off most affection.
You prefer to protect your emotions and stay strong.
