Have You Ever...

Have you ever watched a wedding video [of which you'd attended the wedding] with the people whose wedding it was and thought:  Oh my, did I really do that?

I'm not a bad person, nor someone you shouldn't take out in public for fear of what they might do, but I watched a wedding video and was shocked by my behavior.  What I saw wasn't a shock because I had seen photos of the two incidents, but there was something about watching it play out before me that was the surprise.

What did I do?



Honestly, it wasn't that bad, but I am embarassed to know people will watch that video and see my bad behavior.  Okay, enough delaying, here it is:  there were two incidents during the wedding when I was caught drinking a Coke.  Throw back the head and get every last drop straight Coke from the delightful bright red can.  The first sighting was in the church itself.  I must have realized what I'd carried in with me and had no time to ditch it, so hid it under the seat, but drank from it during the ceremony [a long one if I remember correctly] and was caught on video multiple times.  The second one was during the vast amount of photos, outside the church, in the attached cemetary.  That one I don't feel too bad over because I had a companion, an ederly woman, who was trying to hide the fact she was smoking, and we both were both caught ducking behind gravestones to hide our sins.

I think the videographer should've edited the footage a bit better, there was no need to have those moments left for generations to come to view.

Am I ashamed at my younger self's antics?  Kind of, but it was Coke!
