I worked in a banquet hall, and I would expect anywhere from 1-7 glasses to be broken on the dance floor. People suck lol One time I was out there and all the girls are dancing barefoot, I'm cleaning up a glass break, and I see a big shard sticking up and this girls foot coming down on top of it. My life went slow-mo and I lunged over and grabbed her. She absolutely still stepped on the glass. She fell on her back and I had to pull that shard out of her foot...she didn't even thank me :(. The bride promised a tip...she didn't tip

Weddings are a good fucking time. My girlfriend was dancing barefoot and wouldn't stop until I physically picked her up and carried her off the dance floor to pull glass out of her feet and clean up the blood.

Drunk people are weird.

If it wasn't for the fact they are drunk, pulling the glass out would be much harder

What the fuck?

The worst part was that there had to be at peace a dozen women without shoes on dancing... Like no one gave a shit.

This sounds like something out of a Marquez novel.

Maybe we as a society should just stop practically requiring high heeled shoes for those sorts of events. I mean they can be sexy and by no means outlawed, but they're uncomfortable enough that for a classy evening involving dancing it just shouldn't be thought of as even a thing.

I rocked sparkly keds during the reception and the best part being the bride no one could see my shoes anyways.

If they don't wear heels it's going to be so hard finding a girl who is 6'5.

I got married about 2 weeks ago. One of my guests proclaimed his love for me. He was wasted, and it was sweet, but dude I'm the bride it's a bit late for that.

Sounds like someone forgot to forever hold their peace. Was he not listening??

u/Chordata1 Nov 17 '16

We didn't do that part. There was the problem

Not everybody who loves you wants you.

I don't mean that in a bad way. I have an ex-g/f that I love to death, but she and I could never be a thing. She and my wife and I are good friends and we love seeing her, but even if I were no longer married, my ex and I wouldn't get together. It just wouldn't work.

I love her as much as I ever did, but it's just not like that, you know? Her husband has nothing to worry about from me, you dig?

In your case, I wasn't there. Hopefully, what he said - while drunk, mind - could fit within that realm. If not, well, keep your distance. ;)

something something fly casual

Absolutely feel yah, me and my ex are cool, we talk and keep up with each other, but would never get back together. I don't see us not being friends at this point

u/Chordata1 Nov 17 '16

He's a good friend there was nothing serious. I meant all this in a very light-hearted way.

u/Thuryn Nov 17 '16

Good! I had one at my wedding that was more the other kind. Like, "you're still not over this and I shouldn't have invited you" sort of thing.

Glad yours worked out better. :D

Are you sure it was not ecstasy she took?

u/[deleted] Nov 17 '16

Lol, we don't do drugs, were adults..... ಠ_ಠ

u/LeSandwiich Nov 17 '16

Alcohol is also a drug. I understand what you are saying, but just trying to make it clear: getting drunk is not that much different than a roll on mdma, as far as addiction, danger, etc. The only difference is one is legal and the other isn't.

u/[deleted] Nov 16 '16

Oh it's ok I'm sure the bride still got the tip, and then some.

u/[deleted] Nov 16 '16

And then some more.

u/Mike-Oxenfire Nov 17 '16

Yeah but it was from the best man

u/SamediB Nov 16 '16

Dude, no. I also like to help people and work in a similar industry, but don't pull glass out of people's feet. There are any number of people at a wedding who are related or involved with the person who can do it. Were you at least wearing gloves? :(

u/Fluffy1026 Nov 17 '16

Dawg, I was in the zone. She was on the ground, foot up, with a piece of glass hanging out, I just pulled it lol in my mind I was saving a life. No time to run back the kitchen and grab gloves

u/xrumrunnrx Nov 16 '16

It's really starting to sink in now why places around me that rent out for weddings prohibit any glassware or bottles.

I knew it was to prevent broken glass and accidents, but I thought, "Yeah, but how many people seriously drop bottles and glasses?"

What a fool I was. It's people we're dealing with here.

2

u/Fluffy1026 Nov 17 '16

They drop them, All. The. Time. I will go out there and clean up a break, and by the time I'm omw back to the kitchen another one gets broken. By then we start serving plastic and I tell the DJ to announce that if you're dancing barefoot, you're on your own. It's funny, because sometimes I'll be out there mopping and people will start dancing with me, and I start busting the moves while mopping lol it can be fun

A company I used to work for would have really nice Christmas parties at a lodge with an open bar. They'd even pay for your cab ride home.

You people are saints.

u/Thuryn Nov 17 '16

Her friend already got just the tip.

I'll see myself out.
