Instant Bride’s Maid

A friend of Laura and I got married today in a courthouse. We were invited, along with several other friends. While sitting in attendance, the somewhat humorous judge told them to at least go ahead and pick a person each to be “best man” and “bride’s maid” ( I only think the apostrophe is in the right place. =)), so that one could hold the rings for the groom, and the other the bouquet that the bride had been carrying.

I wasn’t picked, as there was a much closer friend to the groom available, however Laura was called out and told to “hop to” to be the maid of honor, or what-not. Being that we were in a courthouse, all but the couple and family were dressed pretty casual, and even the couple weren’t in a tux and dress… of course. So, Laura and her denim jacket got to be an on-the-spot bride’s maid today.

It was very cute/nice for a courthouse wedding. I always just pictured someone sitting behind a desk and saying “okay, you sign here, and you sign here… alright… witness? … okay, we’re done here”. Apparently I was wrong. They got a mini-ceremony, vows and all. It was great.

And those were the highlights!

The End.
