| | It's post time baby. I just went to buddy Chris' wedding. I was #5 of 8 groomsmen. That means I was required to stand under a bright light for the duration of the ceremony. Luckily there were 4 prayers so I was able to wipe sweat from my forehead and shift my weight without distracting family, friends, and other random onlookers. I think my time in China has left me almost completely incapable of making small talk. I really feel for the bridesmaid who got stuck with me. During the rehearsal I asked if she was married. She replied, "Not yet, I will be in May." I then asked if she was excited. She said, "Of course." I immediately apologized for asking such a generic question and then felt it necessary to add, "I guess the only reason you wouldn't be excited is if you were settling." This was met with a long silence. It sounded like a joke in my head but came across quite differently in reality. I guess people take their marraiges seriously. Who knew?
You'll be glad/ammused to know my languauge skills are also taking a hit. Drew and I went to a coffe shop to study a few days ago. I tried to send a text message to a friend of mine saying, "Don't fight it." When I typed "fight" the Nokia predicative text showed the word "eight". I leaned to Drew and said, "What the heck E-ight?" He looked at me then he looked at the phone...then again at me and once more at the phone. Then he burst into laughter and enthusiatically informed me that the word shown was the number 8, not E-ight as I had pronounced it. Sigh...
If you are in China, I miss you. I'll be back in the middle of February so get ready to party. I'll leave you with a couple pics from the wedding.
Here is the groom.
Luke, Drew, and I opening gifts.
