I was chosen to be a bridesmaid at my cousin’s wedding and I
was SOOO excited. We got to get all primped and beautiful and spend a day
supporting the bride and groom and taking fun photos. Honestly, weddings are my
jam so I was so pumped for the day.
When the reception came, there was a long receiving line
full of the bride and groom, their parents and all of the wedding party. We
stood there in line shaking hands and making small talk. It was quite tiring
considering that there were 300 plus guests at this reception. It was a mad
house!
“These heels were a bad idea,” I thought. “No one will
notice if I just…” I slipped off my heels and placed them behind me near the
wall outlining the receiving line. I continued to meet and greet and act like
no one noticed that I was 4 inches shorter.
The exhaustion really set in after 2 hours had passed of
standing and talking. My mom, being the sweet heart we all know and love, was
bringing me snack and drinks throughout the night to keep my energy high. One
of my fellow bridesmaids became a good friend of mine that day. We had a blast
laughing and talking and eating.
After more time passed I decided to slip my shoes back on so
I could feel like a true professional bridesmaid. I sent my toe back to where I
thought my shoe was but instead, I felt the cool sensation of dipping my toe in
water! I removed my foot from its home under the sea and quickly slid both of
my shoes on hoping that no one had noticed.
As I looked around, it seemed that my little foot swim had
gone unnoticed so I began to relax. Within the next 10 minutes, my fellow
bridesmaid friend decided she was thirsty. How do I know? Because she reached
down and picked up the vary cup that served as a toe bath. Before I could stop
her. She took a drink.
To this day, she still doesn’t know. Shhhh don’t tell.
