It was a little embarrassing that our big trip to Hawaii recently was mainly to attend the wedding of one of Helen's friends...and we completely missed the whole thing! The story goes something like this -
The wedding wasn't until 4 p.m., so we enjoyed a nice relaxing day in the sun, came back to the hotel, took a nap and showered. Around 3:30 p.m or so, Helen's friend came to the door and proceeded to use the straightening iron (not blaming her - hair needs to be straightened and I respect that.) Now, 3:30 would normally be the time I would have been heading out the door to the lobby to catch a cab. But since we were in Hawaii and going on local time, we weren't too concerned that it was almost 4 p.m., we had to catch a cab and didn't know where the ceremony was being held.
Fast forward to the part where we are super late, hoofing it to the chapel to try and salvage some dignity (or at least a portion of the nuptials,) only to run into a friend of Helen's (not in the wedding party) who says, 'You just missed the wedding. It was the quickest one I've ever attended.' So we had a few options: 1) front like we'd been there the whole time, 2) apologize profusely for missing it, or 3) turning tail and leaving before anyone saw us.
We chose option #1, or at least a variation of it. Check out my pic below as the happy couple worked their way to the limo and stopped for a kiss. I screamed out 'You guys look great!' to give the illusion we'd been there longer than we had. Slick!
