Wedding Party

There is a wedding party on board this week. The wedding was on the beach in Grand Cayman, and about 40 people made the trip together. The bride wore her dress all day and well into the night, sitting second row center at the show, with her groom and her bridal party on either side of her. They have brought a delightful vibe to the ship and are why a dancer said “I love to see YOUNG people.” At the party after the show, we went to the White Party, which is themed and in a bar upstairs. We talked to a bridesmaid and her friend (both in glow in the dark necklaces) who showed us pictures from the wedding on her camera. About a half an hour later, we saw the friend go “oh—OH” and barf in the hallway, then trip over it and go get food.

If you ever want to watch a man’s face change instantly, go up to an officer and say “hi” and watch him say “well, hellllloooooooo there.” Then you say “someone barfed in the hall.” He’ll go “haha, what, where in the bathroom?” because the music is too loud. And you’ll say “no, the hall. In the hallway.” “What?” “Right outside, in the hallway, just over there on the carpet.” At this point, he will realize that I am serious and I will realize he thought I was making small talk about barf, which broadens my horizons. So, this older dude short dude from Turkey instantly stopped making eye contact and got on his handiphone (the interoffice portable phone on the ship) then turned towards me and said “it’s being taken care of” and went back to being depressed and leaning on the bar. He must be bored out of his mind, as indicated by small talk.

Our castmate has friends on board who are trying to prove how fun they are, and are wildly succeeding. One had about 13 hot dogs (literally) because he loves them and then told us about working for the Democratic National Convention, while burping and feeling hot dog pain and his friends made him go 10 feet away to burp. They had a contest to see who could keep his hands on an ice sculpture the longest, and one has flashcards, so we could discuss my diorama. YES!
