Talia's wedding: The Full Report
Okay, I'm rested and NOT hungover (surprisingly), though I can't speak for Orlando because he's still asleep. We decided to book a room in the hotel where Talia had the reception and took full advantage of the jacuzzi tub, so it was a late night.
The wedding ceremony was perfect. Talia looked radiant in her ivory slip dress, lawyer man looked handsome in his dark grey suit and the bridesmaids weren't trapped in hideous concoctions dreamt up to make the bride look better. Everything was tasteful and gorgeous, love and romance filled the air and it all made me want to get married again. (No, I don't know when I turned into a woman, so don't ask.)
The reception felt a lot more comfortable than I thought it would. We were assigned to tables for a sit down dinner, and Talia had actually put Orlando and me together with some of my old friends (and her defenders during the divorce). It was so awkward to see them, at first, and I really expected the worst. But they were extremely gracious, were wonderful to Orlando (not that they had much choice since he was absolutely gorgeous and charming, as always), and apologized to me for the way things had happened last year. They explained that they were shocked and hurt for Talia, but seeing her now made them realize that what had happened was the best for everyone.
When Talia and lawyer man were making the rounds and arrived at our table, things couldn't have been more amiable. It was the first chance I'd had to introduce Orlando to them both, and it felt strange but very liberating to finally get to do that. Later, Talia pulled me aside to tell me that she couldn't remember seeing me this happy and that she really liked Orli. After that, Orli and I spent the rest of the evening dancing (with each other and some of the other guests - there was a few young girls there, maybe 14 or 15, who kept mooning over Orli. He treated them each to a dance and they were so happy. It was adorable. I love him so much) and enjoying the party.
All in all, it was a beautiful evening, and the best part was getting to share it with my sweetheart.
