getting dragged from table to table like you’re the bride and groom. another wedding and more awkwardness.

we were invited to the main wedding party of a teacher in the english department. she was marrying a guy we didn’t even know. they had known each other for six months and had been engaged for half that time.

they were brought to each table during the reception. there were at least seventy tables. each of the guests were given small ribbons to wear on their shirts. mine was red with a yellow star.

we were also drug from table to table as the only white guests. we were introduced to hundreds of people that i will never remember. smiles and food. everything was fake.

the wedding ended quietly and we were ushered home. the bride and groom went on their honeymoon. six months isn’t a long time.
