31. August wedding
The wedding was in August, in the afternoon, in Ohio. Over 85 degrees and over 80% humidity. The bride had always been simple and down-to-earth and said that was the wedding she wanted. We asked how she wanted our hair, makeup, jewelry, etc., and she said, “Don’t go out of your way, just be natural”
She showed up at the church with the maid of honor, and both had spent the morning at the spa getting humidity-proof makeup and updos. We all looked terrible next to them. She told us after the ceremony that she had added outdoor photos in the park to the schedule, so we were outside in the afternoon in the sun, heat, and humidity, melting and sweating.
Then she got upset that we were too tired to dance and party in the evening and most of us left the reception early.
