Well today was finally the day of the wedding. Everyone was running around all busy and stuff, trying to get things done. I had to go get my hair done at the salon place. Before I left though, these people came to the house uninvited, and with no where else to stay. The apparently had a hotel room, but they wouldn't be able to get into it until later. So they came without asking to the house. They were my uncle's cousins, and my aunt didn't like them very much. Here they just showed up at her house on the day of the wedding when everyone is busy, and wanted to take my uncle out to lunch. How crazy. Well it turns out they really are crazy. My aunt had to leave them there and tell them not to let the cats out while she went with me and my mom to take me to get my hair done. On the way there she told me that the lady had gone crazy one day during a storm and run off, and that her husband had found her at someone's house after looking all over for her, and that she'd been put into an insane asylum for a while. Pretty crazy stuff, but both of them seem a bit wacko. Anyway, I didn't really feel like doing much of anything. I was still mad at Kaz for what he did last night. And when we got to the place they said my appointment wasn't until 1:00 PM. My mom got pretty annoyed, she's been mad at how Alex didn't plan things the right way and how disorganized this whole wedding has been, and how she should have known that was too late to make an appointment for me. So my mom asked for an earlier time so they managed to fit me in earlier, but I still had to wait around a while. My mom ended up calling Elisa and Brandon to come wait with me, so they came, and finally it was my turn. I didn't know what I wanted done with my hair at all, I never do. I ended up getting it curled, that's what everyone else was having done, and they put it up in the back and in the end it looked really nice, everyone else thought so too. So I'm glad that that turned out good at least. So on the way back Elisa was telling me how they'd been driving around until my mom called them, not really knowing where to go, because they'd tried to go back to the house but seen those weirdos' car sitting there, and not knowing who they were decided to drive on by. I guess they didn't want to go in there and sit around with some people who they didn't know. So these people really caused problems for everyone who is staying there by coming by without even asking. It's kind of funny how everyone has been talking about them behind their backs all day. But it was a pretty rude thing to do. Anyway, I guess they ended up going to lunch and all that, and I finally had about an hour or so to myself to get online before the wedding. I talked to a few people and did a few things on Gaia and stuff. Kaz was at that guitar thing helping his dad again so at least I didn't have to deal with him. Finally it was time for the wedding, and we went to the church and I went to where the book was, and some people had already come in and signed it. But they had signed it in the wrong place, so I had to go back to the beginning. I put my name first and luckily most people signed it where they were supposed to, but a few people skipped lines and stuff and I had to get other people to sign in the skipped lines. That was annoying. It was mostly boring, but then the uninvited house guests came through the door, and I had to struggle not to laugh when I saw them, because immediately I thought of my aunt saying earlier today, "I come home to find those dorks sitting in my kitchen!" It was just such a funny thing to say and looking at them, they really do look like a couple of dorks. I just hope no one saw me trying not to laugh at them. So then after that Chris took me to my seat, and the wedding started, and then, after it was over, we all went outside. It was really hot out so I ended up following someone into this little building on the side of the church and when I got there I was dragged in to take pictures with the family. So the photographer took tons of pictures, of Alex and Caleb, each with different groups of family members, and then when that was all done we came back out and there was a limo to take them to the reception. Which apparently Caleb's parents got even though he didn't want them spending the money. The reception was only a short drive away. But whatever. We got there and finally found a table with enough seats and I wasn't very hungry so I only ate a few crackers and cheese. Then I texted Kaz but he didn't answer me. I thought he was still mad at me. I was pretty bored though and I thought he might be too because of being dragged to that stupid thing so I sent him another message a little later and he said he had been sleeping in the car. So I figured he wasn't too mad, but I'd find out later when I got online. I still wasn't happy with him that's for sure. After that they cut the cakes... There were two and one was green and I couldn't figure out what flavor it was and the other was chocolate so I was safe and went with the chocolate one, which was good. Then they did the dancing and later they went outside so we could throw flower petals on them, they actually did that before they were actually leaving. There wasn't much else after that though, and when it was finally over, we stayed to help clean up a bit. Alex had had all these bowls of goldfish on all the tables, and I even discovered one in the bathroom. I'm sure there was one in the men's bathroom too, I only hoped there were some guys that realized this and got them because I seemed to be the only one who bothered to get the one from the girls' bathroom. I was going to keep one but I needed to go home and get something to put it in. There were supposed to be bags to put the fish in but they weren't there because the whole thing was pretty disorganized. In fact the whole time during the reception my mom had been secretly complaining to me about how disorganized and unplanned it had been, but that's Alex. I kind of feel bad for her because she is very disorganized. I'm not real organized but I think I'd put more effort into the most important day of my life. I'm glad I got to learn from this, I'll no what not to do when I get married. But Alex seemed happy so I guess that's what matters. But anyway, we went around cleaning up and gathering up fishbowls and then I went home, so did my dad and Elisa and Brandon, to get something to put the fish in and check things online real quick. Well when we got there, we found non other than "those dorks" standing there, waiting for someone to come let them inside. I mean what is these people's problem? So they go in and I set up my computer at the desk, and the whole time that woman is sitting there on the couch, though she seemed distracted by the cat mostly. Anyway my dad was going back to help out with cleaning some more, so I said I'd go back with them and put on my away message. Partly because I was gonna try to bring home a fish, and partly because I didn't want to sit there on the computer with those strangers sitting there. They just kind of annoyed me, like they annoyed everyone else. I feel kind of bad because Elisa ended up stuck there by herself with them, but at that point I don't know if she even noticed. Anyway we weren't gone that long, but when I got there, someone had taken all the fish. This pisses me off that someone would take all of them, especially when there were so freaking many of them. I mean it's good that someone did because no one knew what to do with them, but I would have liked to have one. But it probably would have died anyway since I'd have to take in the car twice for long periods of time before getting home. But I did get a little plant to take home. Alex had put small potted plants all around too, since she's studying plants in college, and people were supposed to take them, but I don't think many people did. We came back home and then I got online, and surprisingly, Kaz IMed me. So I guess he was over being mad at me. We just talked and I didn't really bring up the whole stupid thing but I'm still mad at it and I'm still going to hold the sex thing over his head because of it. He's not getting off easy anymore. Oh and in the car that night I had heard Brandon talking about some party after the wedding that Alex was having in her hotel room. I find this a bit strange... Having a party after a wedding... If it was me, I'd be glad to be alone with my new husband finally. I wouldn't want a bunch of people up in my room partying. I'd probably be having sex, haha. But anyway, there was some party, and it upset me that I hadn't been invited. I mean first she goes to some party with a bunch of friends to some place I can't go, then there's this sleepover last night that I missed because Kaz was yelling at me and getting me upset, and there's no way I could have gotten ready to go to something like that after he does that crap to me, and then she has this hotel room party and doesn't mention a word about it to me, but tells Elisa and Brandon. I always get the feeling that people don't want me around at stuff like that, like they think I'm too quiet or uninterested or too young or something. I just always get the feeling that older people view me as a baby when I'm the youngest person around, when I'm not that much younger than they are. I'm only three years younger than Alex. It makes me think she didn't invite me because I'm a kid or something which I'm not. Like oh no, a party, people might be drinking or loud or something. My mind will be scarred. It just annoys me. I told my mom about the party I wasn't invited to and she said I should go anyway. But I had no way to get there. Elisa and Brandon were too tired and didn't want to go, so I couldn't go either. But at least it's not like they were gone having a good time without me so whatever. Those weird people finally left after a while, and everyone else sat around drinking beer. My mom gave me some, maybe because I had to miss out on that party, or maybe cause everyone else was having some, and I'm almost 21 anyway. I knew I wouldn't like it, and I didn't. I just had that one little sip and was like ew. Barton was right to call it piss water. I have a feeling when my birthday comes I'm gonna try all these drinks and not like any of them. Though I know beer has a reputation for tasting pretty nasty. So the rest of the time I just talked to Kaz and sat around, and my mom was showing some pictures on her computer to people. She was showing pictures she took at the beach to Elisa for when she and Brandon get married. She wants to get married at the beach. I think that will be nice. But at least that hectic day is over now. Everyone can stop worrying about the wedding and all that. Though I don't know what I'm gonna do now that Alex is gone. I'm gonna be stuck here with boring adults and it's gonna suck, I know it.
