juliaswedding

This past Saturday was Julia's wedding. She had asked me to be her maid-of-honor, so I went out to Oklahoma for a week. It was interesting to say the very least; her town of Ada, OK has only 20,000 people in it, roughly a third of the number of people in my university. Nuts. Her wedding/bachelorette party was in Oklahoma City though (thank goodness, I have no idea what I would have planned otherwise). I took a bajillion pictures, but instead of boring you with smiling faces and pinned-up navy blue dresses, I am going to share with you the game we played for her bachelorette party.

I made up this cheesy game where we had a checklist of a certain type of guy. Throughout the evening, we had to find that type of guy and take a picture with him. We almost didn't make it through the whole list (there seems to be an amazing lack of crazies in Oklahoma) but we managed.

A GRANDPA MAN.
This strapping young lad didn't understand why we wanted to take a picture with him, but he was obliging nonetheless.


A LONG-HAIRED MAN.
The man with the luscious locks had his daughter with him (the frightened young girl in the front) and I think he may have been worried about his wife catching him with 4 young girls.


A MINOR MAN.
We couldn't find any hot guys under 18, so we settled on this guy: he was smoking and had a middle school shirt on.


A CLINT-LOOK-ALIKE MAN.
Clint is Julia's husband. This is the closest we found. Yeah, I know the only thing they have in common is their coloring, but you try finding someone that looks like that kid.


A COMPUTER GEEK MAN.
This dude was awesome! He was really surprised we wanted to take a picture with him... he kept saying, "Wait, you want me to take your picture? What?! Me with you?! What?!" Anyway, he ended up being our favorite poster boy and when we left the restaurant, we all gave him a boob-hug (you know, the hugs where your boobs get squashed) and Aria put a 2 dollar tip in his back pocket. Hot!


A BODY-BUILDER MAN.
There were no "swole" guys in Oklahoma... the closest we could find was this bouncer guy at some cheesy club.


A BOY-NEXT-DOOR MAN.
This dude was with his girlfriend, and I am pretty sure she was pissed that 4 random girls wanted to take a picture with him, but he looked sweet and un-like the hobos we were seeing pretty prevalently, so he was the one.


A TATTOOED MAN.
I have no earthly idea why, but getting tattoos is illegal in Oklahoma. So, that made finding these gentlemen fairly difficult. We were searching ALL NIGHT for some dude with a half-sleeve or something, but all we got were these guys with cheesy tribal armbands. How ridiculously predictable.


A POLICE OFFICER MAN.
This was by far the highlight of our game. This police officer was in his car patrolling, and we followed him until he parked. Then I went up to him and told him the game we were playing and asked if he would let us stand around his car and take a picture. Well, he ended getting out of his car and posing with us, and then he let Julia get in the driver's seat and put the picture of Clint she was carrying in the backseat. It was completely radical.


A MILITARY MAN.
We almost thought we weren't going to finish our game. We couldn't find military guys ANYWHERE. We decided we would give up and just go back to the hotel. Well, on the way to our car (we were seriously like 10 feet away) we saw these military guys! They had their dog tags out and everything! It was fabulous! It kinda scared me when the one guy picked me up off the ground like a baby, but it did make me feel good that that was actually possible.



Wow, that took for freaking ever to post... I think that's why I don’t post very often. I always want these interesting updates, and it's very rare that anything remarkably intriguing happens. Anyway, the wedding was nice. There were only a few hiccups to Julia's planning, which was good. I think that all of us were annoying to her. We had a few rough moments, but I think she was happy.
