Time - 4. after a big meal

Situation/Challenge - 9. Something embarrassing has just happened

It was the night of my best friend, Brandon Hollier wedding. We were all at the reception at the Renous Rec Center. Colby, Dillan, and me were all sitting at the head table with Brandon. It was a lovely time, and everybody was talking after the wedding supper was served.

The time to start speeches was soon. As we all talked and laughed, the mothers and fathers of the bride and groom were up welcoming each other into their new families. Then one by one, Dillan, Colby and me got up and said how happy we were for Brandon and his new wife, telling a few jokes about them and having a good laugh.

Just before I sat down, I told the guest that if anybody had any embarrassing stories about the bride or groom, to feel free to come up and tell them. Everybody was seated, and finishing up their desert, when a young man made went up to the micro phone and started telling a story about Brandon.

I didn’t recognize him at first until Dillan pointed out to me who he was. He was a friend from NBCC Moncton. He was telling a story about Brandon back when he was a college student. The story he told brought back memories of school, and something that Brandon hoped we all forgot.

The story cannot be told on a high school blog because of the content of the story, with it being college and all. As soon as Colby figured out the story, he told me, and immediately I remembered, and so did Brandon, he turned bright red and put his head down. We still laugh and joke about that night.

It took us five years to forget that story, and Brandon was glad we did, but after his wedding, I don’t think we will ever forget.
