I went to a surprise bridal shower this afternoon from 1-4:30 pm. The worst part about it was nobody in the gropu of 18 ladies thought it was a problem to schedule this party to coincide exactly with the final World Cup game. The World mutha-fuckin cup, yo! The single most popular sporting match worldwide. A game that takes four years in the making; a gathering of the best two teams to gain world bragging rights.
Unfortunately, my phone is currently being repaired and the loaner phone Telus game me does not have internet access. I thought about bringing a laptop, but the condo party room did not have wireless. I even asked my friend Elaine, one of the bridesmaids, to ask the host to bring a T.V. from her appartment and set it up in the corner for me. That didn't go over too well.
So in the end I had to settle for receiving updates via bbm.
Clearly, I am not cut out for bridal shower parties. Here are some of the faux pas' I committed at this party:
- I put on a dress and missed an entire strap completely and walked around the entire time half undressed (luckily I had a mesh t-shirt layer on top of my dress so I don't think too many people noticed.
- The invitation asked for gifts to be wrapped in Christmas wrapping, so I dropped my gift certificate into an oversized x-mas gift bag.
- I was asked to write my favourite memory with the bride and it had to be PG-13 because there were mothers, aunts and her grandmother present so I wrote "the time we recorded (blank) on video and as we watched the replay we realized we had caught (blank) on tape (blanking) (blank)." And yes she read this out loud.
- I downloaded the vuvuzela app on my ipod touch and would periodically sound it off as homage to the game that was being missed.
