   A West Plains Wedding
It feels SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good to be back home...
Anyway, after the HORRIBLY BORING 5-HOUR DRIVE to West Plains we got to swim in the motel pool. The next morning we swam again, then we went to the Climatedodge's house(if you knew their real last name you would think I was a genious for making up that nickname^_^). Mokogirl(Amethyst's mom and me and my mom's friend) ran out and made some remark about how she didn't know that my mom was gonna be bringing another person(as in me), then we went inside to where Amethyst and her cousin, Detective W, were. Mokogirl was flipping through Mom's scrapbook when her sister came in, her daughter LawEmployed with her. Mokogirl's sister left and Amethyst's older sister, Mahogany, entered the county as we started this movie that Luci, Detective W, Amethyst, Cantaloupe, and I had made FIVE YEARS AGO. It was this mystery about who stole the winning dog in a dog show. Amethyst played both The awards announcer and the head detective; Luci played the first-place winner;Detective W played both the third place winner and the second detective(hence her nickname); and I played the theif/second place winner(as I said, I'm EVIL!!!!). Cantaloupe was usually pushed to the side by Amethyst and Dectective W(who whined during the viewing that she was Amethyst's flunky), but even though he was only about five we still let him play the award giver or whatever that's supposed to be called.
After the movie had ended and Mahogany was home we went to some Mexican resturaunt for lunch, then split up after that so Amethyst(the bride), Mahogany, Detective W, and LawEmployed(the bridesmaids) could go get their nails done. Moko girl, Mom, Cantaloupe, and I went to various places, then Mom went to the hotel and we hung out with Mokogirl for a little while.
When we got to the hotel we rested, went out to eat, then swam again(big surprize!) with mom. Cantaloupe and I were playing volleyball, then this one really nice guy named Slyde(still using nicknames) started playing with him after I stopped. Later on,(we swam late into the night) a boy about a year younger than me started playing on Cantaloupe's team and soon his brother(who was HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) started playing on ours. We won by four points, even though Cantaloupe and Will were bragging about how much better they were than us. I later found out that JC(Will's older brother) was SIXTEEN! They wanted to meet up with us again today(AND I DID TOO!!!!!!!!) but we had to go to the wedding.
They left, the pool got too crowded, and then we left.
I ACTUALLY wore a dress today. I think I haven't worn a dress out in public since I was about seven... It was black and I wore pearl earrings, a pearl neklace, and a pearl hair tie(forced by mom to wear my hair up).
When we walked in saw Luci for the first time in around five years. She had the hugest smile when she saw us, and I returned it. She had changed a lot!
The wedding colors were pink and white, the groom(of whom, I might add, I have never met) and groomsmen were sporting these colors on the corsages on their tuxes. Then the bridesmaids, LawEmployed and Detective W, walked out in their white dresses and pink sashes; they were followed by Mahogany, who was the Maid of Honor, in the same type of dress with a pink shawl. As the song was winding down, a cloth was rolled in the aisle and the flower girl came.
We were all waiting for the moment soon to come. We all stood as the wedding march began to play, and Amethyst stepped out, as beautiful of a bride as I expected if not more. Could this really be the girl I had played with since before I could remember? The girl I would be excited to see over the long, boring drive? Her beautiful red hair was curled, her clean, white dress adorned with rhinestones was perfect and brought tears to my eyes. The first friend of mine was going to be married.
As I have said before, I apologize for my endless babbling, and if you have managed to keep up this far you are truly a prodigy.
