My Rom Com Love Life (Bridesmaid Edition)

Hey guys! Yes, I'm home from Wedding World.

The wedding was great. Intellectual Diva made a beautiful bride. She married a dapper dude that we've officially welcomed into the UTA clique. Oh, and I made a Beautiful bridesmaid. And as good as I looked I still had to get a lesson I must add to my Rom Com Love Life files. If you didn't know about my Rom Com Love life, go read THIS and come back.

I learned the jerks in movies that looked to hook up during a wedding do exist. I mean like the guys in the movie Wedding Crashers.

Yep, I seemed to be the prey. But did I fall for the trap?

This is not my first time being a bridesmaid. I was at the weddings of  Bestie Boo & Pink Red.

I had a crush on Bestie Boo's brother and he is now married to the woman he brought as a date.

I was attracted to the groomsmen that I walked in with at a Pink Red wedding. He was attracted to me. We talked on the phone for a while but we were not compatible and that was that.

But the guy at this recent wedding was different. I have to say had I never decided to be nice and make small talk I probably would not have been the prey.

Ok met Ridge* on the shuttle to the venue. He was loud & cranky. Plus his partying rep preceded him. Ok at the venue, his name along with mine & most of the groomsmen was a part of some "Name Shade" from the Wedding Planner. I think my attitude was written on my face. Well, when we were paired up with the groomsmen, the groomsmen gave me a nickname to diffuse the situation.

On the ride back to the hotel, he was still talking too much. Well, he pointed out WhatABurger and was raving about how good it was. And I opened my mouth & said: "Oh, I forget you guys aren't from here". And it was a flirty ride after that. SMH

Ok after the shuttle back, Bestie Boo & I did the errands the mother of the bride asked us to run before the BBQ. Got back and I was going to the elevator and here comes Ridge from the pool.

     He asked, "Are you going to help dry me off"?

     I replied "No, nature is doing a great job"
 
     "Oh, that was cold". Where did you guys go?"

     "Ran some errands for the bride's mom"
 
      "Oh cool. Duty Calls"

      The elevator gets to his floor & he says, "532"*

      I said, "Ok" But thought "No, it's just after 3." Then it hit me before I got to my floor, he was calling out his room number. SMH

After that, I didn't come in contact with Ridge until after the ceremony. I walked in with another groomsman. Well, after the grandparent’s candles were lit they moved them behind him & me. So, he & I joked about not getting burned. Then once in the foyer, we high-fived each other for not getting burned. LoL On the way to the bridal dressing suite, I felt hands on my neck & back.

I heard "Alright for not getting burned". It was Ridge.

I removed his hands and said "Stop, Drop & Roll" and went on.

Alright, reception time, since I was 1st in line, I had time to get some Advil for another groomsman, & me and my "dancing shoes".

So, I was taking my foot pic and here he comes with a flirty foot comment. So, after we ate we were grouping up discussing & taking "Met Them" pics and he gets close and said, "We can do more than that tonight if you want". The cameras are then flashing. Smile & Pose for the frame. I didn't get to take pics with the others because we hit the dance floor.

So, Bestie Boo & I were leaving the hotel. Most of our guests & the bride's aunts were still there having breakfast. So, we are waving bye, Everybody stops and he is still waving and pouting.

      I said "Bye Ridge"

Now if he was for real, he would've seen that I was waiting for Bestie Boo to bring the car around so I was in the foyer for a moment. He would've come talk to me & seen me off.

And if I thought I was through with Ridge... My fellow bridesmaid & college friend, Macy* texts me saying "Your boy was looking for you. He said nobody ever came to 532". I texted back what happened when we left.

     She said, "I thought a**holes like that only existed in the movies".

     I said "Me too. But lessons learned. Jerks are real."

Oh well, lesson learned. And as you see I didn't fall into his "easy to see" snare. You don't get this old and not know a thing or two. Maybe he thought I was dumb & country. Maybe he thought I was some desperate chunky bridesmaid. Who knows? Who Cares? Oh well, his bad!!!

Makes me wonder if this entertainment phenomenon is real, will my future husband have a Hangover plot on his way down the aisle??? Lord, let that not be in your will. LoL

Update (10/8/2015):
Oh, we are FBF, now. But that was just in case the headquarters pictures I am in. You will be surprised the pictures & videos still popping up. Just got a video via email from the groom that he had just received.

Oh, this is for you who didn't read between the lines. #GetOutMyInbox No, I never went to Ridge's room. We were tired!!! It was after 2:30 am before I even took a shower. Plus, let's tell the truth. I was nothing but Wedding A-word to him. Oh and the obvious, that weekend was about my friend marrying her love.
