last night's wedding details

Mexican food.

Gerber daisies in jars.

multicolored bridesmaids dresses.

bride's gown reminded me of a Greek goddess.

the groom couldn't stop smiling all night.

to prepare for the toast,
i needed to set a Martinelli's bottle
of sparkling cider at each table
and say with a lovely smile,
"hi! this is for the toast. thanks!"

after confronting a table of
men and women in their 30s with a few
babies in strollers,
one man said

"do you have a knife?"

i looked down at his plate. he had one.

"um, do you need an extra one?" i said,
sounding very confused.

he laughed. "you know. to spread? over the toast."

"o." i laughed still looking somewhat confused.

i walked away from the table thinking
how odd, yet funny, the guest had been.

thanks, whoever you are,
for making my night.
