The wedding of my granddaughter.

Good morning, dear friends. My granddaughter got married last Saturday and I´m just recovering from the wedding. First were the 2 days prior to it trying to think about what to wear. And of course, as it always happens, I had other situations to cope with at the same time. Two families came to see the house. Nothing is happening with it and I´m thinking about lowering the price. Then it was the marriage. Very beautiful but I was either seated in wooden chairs or standing up for long minutes. My granddaughter was stunning wearing a silk and gauze dress that was designed and made by my daughter Claudia. She wore ivory silk pants with a big waistband and oriental looking and a beautiful upper part, very tight. Over it, she wore a gauze coat long and golden. First there was a beautiful ceremony in which friends talked about how they had met and their romance. (The chairs were wood with no pillows for this old lady). Then there was a cocktail with appetizers. There was champagne but I had decided not to drink. I used my brother and my brother in law as canes for some time as it was standing. Finally I saw some wooden chairs and went to sit alone. A kind waiter brought me refreshments and appetizers until my brother and Claudia´s BF came to take the chair near the rest of the people that talked near a heater. Then there was a dinner with food that was cold. Not my idea of happiness when we are heading towards winter. Rodrigo, Claudia´s BF, was seated by my side and ate a great part of my food. Again wooden chairs now with a thin and hard pillow. There were many people mostly young and after dinner the music started and they went to dance. The music was something they call reggaeton which for me was like going back to the caves. I found a sofa and for the first time in the night has my coxis placed where it did not hurt. There I decided to wait until the end of time. My brother who has taken me had told me that he was going to dance until 2 AM. The wedding was in the outskirts of the city so I was not going to call an Uber and spend a lot of money retiring earlier. The sofa was far from the source of the deafening music so that it was even enjoyable from the distance. Fortunatly my brother danced for 10 minutes just to say that he had done it and called it a day. And we came back. I took an extra Celecoxib before going to bed. I came back wondering who had paid for such a big party. The place was expensive and the amount of people big. Carolina´s father was seated in front of me during dinner with his new wife. He was as handsome as ever but his wife looked a lot older than Claudia. Maybe he had paid for the wedding? Then my other question was why did they get married. The couple had been living together for several years. I know of no legal reason in my country that would benefit them to get married. Were they going to start a family? Friends, the wedding was wonderful for everyone but my poor butt. Today is the first day that I feel that it doesn´t hurt so much. So, same as Lazarus, I´m back. See you.

I hope so. Although lately young people are not much interested in babies.

I am glad it was a wonderful wedding, but shame that they did not provide a pillow for your chair. I know that hours sitting on plain wood can be really uncomfortable. Cold food is well in summer only.

I agree to both of your comments. The wedding looked expensive enough to provide a consomme and a hot main dish. But I should have taken my own pillow. The rest of the people did not seem to mind it but they were young or younger.

@LadyDuck The service they ordered should have taken care of that.

@marguicha - Young people do not mind, they should had thought to keep some pillows ready for less young people.

I even find my dinner chairs a bit uncomfortable if I don´t use a pillow. My coxis still hurts from the fall months ago. Some people tell me to go to the doctor and have an X Ray taken but I know that even if the bone is fractured, doctors can do nothing but give me pain pills which I take anyway.

@marguicha That's the problem with many breaks. They can't do much to help.

@wolfgirl569 I know for sure that they can´t do anything but give pills. So I won´t spend money on X Rays.

And I am glad that my brother decided to leave at around 10 PM. He had told me that he would dance until 2 AM with the young people

@Marilynda1225 Me too. I remember when I was young I never went to the toilet if I wasn´t sure that it was absolutly clean. Now I have learnt to ask fot a coke at any restaurant only to be able to use the bathroom. And I leave the coke untouched.

@marguicha I remember those days of dancing into the wee hours of the morning but not anymore. The only time I see those wee hours now is a trip to the bathroom

It seems that they love each other very much. And Luna has been very happy lately because I have shown my house to possible buyers and Luna always thinks that everyone comes to visit HER

It's very sad that they didn't consider that you might need a comfortable chair but good that you could sit a little way away from the music.

There are many changes in the considerations for the guests now as opposed as to what we cared for years ago. Now the invitetion asked whether we wanted normal, vegetarian or vegan food. I don´t remember having heard about the word "vegan" decades ago. And I had to think twice before using my awesome silvel fox coat (my mother´s inheritance). Fortunatly nobody said anything rude about my wearing real fur.

@marguicha People aren't backward in having their say nowadays. I'm glad no-one said anything.

@marguicha I agree 100%. I hate going out because I have to sit in uncomfortable chairs or wheelchairs; and I have to walk further than I'm used to. I'd rather stay home and sit in my recliner.

I am glad that you were able to go to the wedding, it sounds beautiful. Wish you could have had some nice soft seats for the whole evening. Weddings can be enjoyable, but they can also be stressful. Maybe they do want to start a family. These days, it seems many young people either wait quite a while to have a child, or they are hesitant to have any at all--I know there are a lot more young couples now that seem to just have one child, or none. There was a time when my family of 4 was considered an average number of children to me...but now, very few couples seem to have more than 2 children--at least, the ones I know of.

Most people are not aware of problems such as sciatica. I would have been much happier with better chairs.
