Episode One: The Scottish Menace
Ahh, the nights are cooler, the leaves are changing,
the hordes of students are back in town, this can mean
only one thing - IT'S WEDDING SEASON!!!
It seems that everyone is getting hitched including my crazy
brother. Now you may be saying to youself "everyone thinks
thier family is crazy, what makes your brother so nuts?". Well,
here are a few hints that there may be a need for some medication.
Point 1 - He runs marathons. No, not just the regular kind, he
runs ultramarathons that are up to 96 miles long. His craziest run, in
my opinion, was the marathon he ran in Antartica that involved him
taking a Russian ice breaking ship to get there. I mean who does this?
Point 2 - ...well, Point 1 is really the strongest evidence I have, you
can't really beat that although this weekend may come close.
My brother is having his wedding this weekend and I and my best
friend Kate are going as are my parents. He is having it up in
Vermont which is quite exciting since I have never been there. It has
a pretty good chance of being sitcom-worthy. He kind of left the
family about 11 years ago right after he got out of college. He only
calls my Mom a couple of times a year and that is about it. Before you
think this is getting all After-school-specially I should say that it is
really going to be quite amusing. Not only is my brother going to be
wearing a kilt in the ceremony (we aren't Scottish and neither is the
bride), but Kate is going to be my "girlfriend" for the weekend. This
has endless potential for wackiness. My Mom isn't too fond of the fact
that I'm gay so she has already labelled Kate as my girlfriend. Of
course Kate and I have embraced this and are both scheming ways to
play with it. I think we should break up during the course of the
weekend, possibly during the ceremony, with me announcing that I
am leaving her for Rodrigo, a Spanish handbag designer. She puts a
slightly different spin on it. She would like to recreate the Ross-
Rachel breakup from Friends ("We were on a break!"). Her other
suggestion, which I prefer, is to refer to each other all weekend using
the other line where Phoebe calls Chandler "Lov-er". Either way, it's
going to be a blast.
Oh yeah, and none of us have ever met the bride, you know,
as happens.
Did I mention that there will be alcohol invoved? Should have
mentioned that earlier.
