Things that happen when you get older

Weddings are just one of those things. Since this weekend is Memorial Day, it seems a lot of people are having their wedding on Monday. Two friends of mine each have performance gigs with different weddings...and I'm no different--one wedding performance coming up! It's going to be good--I love the music, and I know the couple and the guitarist I'm playing with--good people.

It's kind of amusing though--the couple has just graduated from UT (so maybe 21, 22 yrs old), and the guitarist is 22 and also married. Me? Well, you know...

Anyway, so when I RSVP'd for the wedding rehearsal dinner in person, I was asked if I was bringing anyone. I could not, for the life of me, think of an appropriate someone to ask. Given that I know most of the wedding guests and couple and guitarist through HSL, I knew that if I did bring someone, it'd have to be a respectable decision, someone comfortable with the HSL vibe, and also someone who would want to eat at the Salt Lick, yum. I think I was marked down as flying solo after much inability to think of a name. A week later, I'm still undecided as to whether this is a truly bad situation or not...but really, I guess I don't care. Right now, I just hope to play the bridal procession music so well that I'll make myself tear up...but not ruin the music or the moment. Ooh, this is going to be fun.
