Demon Detective Agency

I'm really sorry it's taken so long to respond, I can be really lazy sometimes.

Anway the wedding three weeks ago was an absolute blast! The reunion the day before was okay, although I was still a little awkward being around my entire secondary family. They're really quite social, and I just a take bit more time to warm up that's all. But other than that that day was pretty good, and it was a sign for many things to come. Apparently my family can talk so loud that it requires a police officer to come with a warning of disturbance of the peace. 0_0;;

Well that was not the end of it. After the wedding ceremony, which was a nice small ceremony in a little church, we all went to the reception a few miles from there. I had no idea how many connections my cousin had, but they were able to get the former Honeymoon Get Away/Home of Jo Di Maggio and Marylin Monroe. And let me tell you those two celebrities really had class and style, even though the place must have been renovated and refurbished many times for the last 50-60 decades. But otherwise an incredibly charming Italian setting.

The food was delicious, and the dance was a lot of fun and was getting better....until the police came. Yeah it was all a matter of misunderstandings and misconceptions dealing with odd rules and paperwork that were forcing the police to come here, which apparently was more than once. I felt bad for the DJ when they took all his equipment. Despite the situation, it was the coolest thing you could ever see in a lawyer's wedding, because when the officer asked him, "Do you have a lawyer sir?" At least five or six of them stood up.

My cousin and his friends really know how to work things, each one was helping in some way to ease the situation....although there were a few who had a some drinks and were a little more flustered than the others. But one of them was really good, he handled it very well by not arguing with them or raising his voice in any manner. All he did was calmly ask what the problem was and what they should do next so that it wasn't a problem. My uncle (his dad of course) and cousin were a little upset, but they also listened just as casually as his friend. And once they had left....well, that's when things get even more out of hand.

No sooner did they leave the area, everyone went into the stucco manor and out into the pool area. And suddenly there was a loud splash and a roar of cheer and laughter. The bride had jumped into the pool, dress and all, and was swimming about with the biggest smile I'd ever seen. I just stood there with my mouth gaping, along with the rest of my family. Everyone began to follow suit, except for a few other people (including me. Hey! It was cold outside okay. >m<).

But of course I did regret it to some extent as I watched everyone jump in and play chicken and splash about, but just being there was just as exhilirating. It did get a little too wild when some of them began to strip 0x0;; (even with the few kids that were in there). And my Uncle was yelling, "God damn!!" Know one had ever seen him so angry that it was actually pretty funny. Eventually everyone got out and there was quite a line to either go home or use the three or four maytag dryers in the basement.

And of course the authorities had returned for the fourth or fifth time to tell us all off, and that was our cue to disperse while the loving couple remained to stay the night. (They did rent the place after all, so take that! XP) We came back the next day to have a really big buffet breakfast before leaving. And that was pretty much how we closed one of the most exciting and memorable weddings in the Alidio Family.

 And I am certainly glad that we've got a new addition to the family as well. She is really a one and a million type of personality that enjoys life to its fullest, strongly reminding me of my aunt (his mother). That strong free-spirit and having fun is really something to admire, which is probably one of the qualities that caught my cousins eyes as well as his heart (bleh! I swore nothing corny).

I can't say that this really makes me want to marry any time soon, nor even consider a relationship at the moment. But it has reinforced my respect and love for my family, and how much I appreciate and cherish them in times like these when you just can't help but smile and let things flow at there own pace.
