Real Life: I'm a wedding crasher

It's true... I've crashed a wedding...

So I had a wedding to go to last night. My date ("boy") comes and picks me up, and we drive to the small town where the wedding is (aka hick-ville with a small motor speedway..yeah- gotta love the Carolinas). We find our way to the First Baptist church in the town, and we see lots of people heading into the church for the wedding. We figured we wouldn't know a lot of people, so we walked in and weren't really freaked out when we didn't recognize anyone. Like you would normally do, we signed the guest book, and walked to the sanctuary. An usher handed boy his last program, and another one offered his arm to take me to our seats. We look around, noticing how beautiful the sanctuary is, and I look at the program in boy's hands... it was then when it dawned on me... WE WERE AT THE WRONG WEDDING!!! No, the name was not misspelled on the program... we were actually at the wrong ceremony! It was amazing... we both started laughing, and came up with a course of action. When we finally got the courage to leave, we slipped down the isle, and the usher gave us the weirdest look as we ducked out.

Boy and I ran to the car, called for directions to the RIGHT church, and made a mad dash across town. While on the way, we made a phone call to boy's mom to ask the correct way to sneak into a wedding late... I'm sure you'll be glad to know we slipped in while the congregation was still standing, and the minister was talking about the importance of marriage...

Needless to say- I've learned that wedding crashing is actually a lot easier that you think it would be.

I also learned to double check the invitation before leaving the house... because there is always a chance that a wedding is happening at the exact same time at the church you accidentally go to... I'm living proof.

Moral of the story: If you're getting married and there are people there who neither you nor your spouse recognize, welcome them in anyways... chances are they just want to celebrate a wedding...even yours :)

About the Author: God

I found the best Bible ever. And by that I mean I found a pretty ridiculous Bible.

While hanging out at a beach house this summer during a week-long "college Christians go to the beach together" trip, I came across a book- The Bible. It seemed like your typical paper-back Bible, expect this one somehow conveyed that the author's name was God. Maybe it was weird because I've never seen a Bible actually attribute an author on the front like "Dan Brown" written on the front of "The DaVinci Code." Instead, I'm used to seeing the version of the Bible written on the front, such as "NRSV" or "King James Version" (I don't read the latter).

Or, maybe it was weird because it had the following written on the back:

About the Author:

GOD has been known and recognized as the supreme expert on such issues as life, death, forgiveness and truth. He works as a teacher, theologian, physician, father, son, counselor and many other things- all simultaneously without taking a break. His timeless classic, The Bible, has been translated into thousands of languages and read by people throughout the centuries from all walks of life. God works out of his home base in Heaven and can be reached by simply talking to him.


Wow...

The following conversation took place after the initial finding of this unique version of The Bible:

Me: (reads the back of the book)
BigMo: God is a theologian? Doesn't that seem kind of vain?

Converstaion progressed, and we were all happy to know that God works simultaneously on many different projects, all out of God's office in Heaven. (excuse me... his office in Heaven.) I wonder if he has a big desk?

The first post- they'll get better

I wanted to comment on my sister's blog, so I had to create of my own. I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty excited about it. I doubt anyone will ever really read my blog, but at least i'll have some fun.

I think I'll change the name of my blog once I go to Paris. I'll name it something appropriate so that I can post all about my trip...

I'm going to study in Paris in the spring. I am very excited, and also very nervous. I will be living with a French family. I don't know who yet, nor do I know whether or not they'll speak any english... That might be a problem seeing as how I don't speak French... I bet you can't wait to hear stories about my trip now, huh?

Okay- so maybe the name of my blog doesn't hold up today. I mean, I am pretty much an expert on writing about myself, and I failed to be very fun. But get ready- it's coming... Deep Thought by ME are on the rise!
