Wedding Party

I walked into the church for my longest friend's rehearsal dinner surprised that this date had crept up one me so quickly. I remember last August when he called me and asked me to be a groomsman. I happily accepted, and what seemed to be a blink of an eye, I was standing in the church the day before the wedding. We went to the rehearsal dinner and started to make plans for the party bus. I called my mother and she secured the supplies for jello shots. After dinner we didn't want to call it a night, so I picked up some beer and we all headed back to my parents' house. In what turned into a night where we sat around in our basement and watched 'Ninja Warrior' and 'Walker: Texas Ranger' while enjoying a few beers and homebrewed meads, the groom's father called my mother and told her that he wanted her to send the groom home. My mom said she felt odd telling a 24-year-old man that his dad called and wanted him to come home. But after she told me, the 'wild' party in my basement concluded. And the next day he got married, after some nervous comments moments before he took the plunge.
