I'm back after what was a strange mix of a fun and miserable time in San Antonio. I caught a lung infection, and I think I'm allergic to something in the air down there, so nonstop, sneezing, coughing, sniffling, and hacking up of mucus. The wedding was fun. There weren't many of my family at the wedding. Saw my cousin's dad for the first time in many years, since I was maybe 11. That same cousin is the one who got married to a beautiful Filipina lady. So she'll take care of him.
we almost didn't make it to the wedding. We ended up spending hundreds of dollars in one night on Uber rides for that wedding. The one who ended up taking us there was a Latina woman who spoke very little English, and brought us to the wrong location. Since she spoke very little English, we could not tell her that we made a mistake. My aunt wrote the wrong address on a napkin, there were two venues and she wrote the address for the wrong one. So she brought us all the way to this middle-aged guy's home, and I imagine he was confused at first. My Aunt got out of her Uber when we arrived and told us that this was the wrong address. Mom was pissed, I was about to explode in anger at the situation, and The Uber driver was trying to tell us in Spanish that this was the end of the ride. I didn't understand what she was actually saying but I'm the one with the most experience riding Ubers, so based on the context, I kinda figured it out and told mom. Mom got frustrated and tried to tell her that we were at the wrong place and tried to get her to take us to the OTHER side of San Antonio where the wedding was being held. It was a 40 minute drive that we made in 20 minutes, but first we had to figure out how to convince her to take us. As a last ditch effort, my mom offered a $100 bill to her, which she accepted, and took us there with no more complaints, which saved her from my explosive anger.
No joke, getting there was not fun.

we get to the wedding venue 20 minutes late, it was a chapel ALL the way in the back past a bar, only to Iearn that the chapel doors were locked. My mom is crying. I'm sad too, but then the doors open and we're in. The next 20 minutes in the chapel were spent spouting Catholic nonsense, which greatly annoyed me since I have a huge religious axe to grind, currently. Still kept my mouth shut though and dealt with it. Finally after much bullshit scriptures, they exchange vows, and tie the knot. It was here that I talked to the Groom's dad fr the first time since I last saw him maybe 14 years ago. I don't remember much about him. Except for the fact that he was dishonorable discharged from the military.
After the wedding photos, we went to the place where they served Filipino foods. It was not the best, but it was what we had. I mostly kept to myself, but I had a chance to meet the bride officially. She's a nice person. Pretty, kinda short. Long Black-haired brownish yellow skinned Asian lady. I met some of my cousin's friends that was about the extent of the wedding. Next we had to get home. My phone died while ordering an uber, so the poor uber driver was looking for me and gave up. Mom had to order an uber, the second guy couldn't find the venue. Mom tries again, and finally gets a driver to pick her up so she can guide him to the venue. I ride to the hotel with my aunt and uncle. That was the wedding. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

Frustrating doesn't even begin to describe the sheer amount of rage I had towards our Spanish speaking Uber driver. Keeping my cool was kind of difficult, so I shut my lips tight. Imagine missing your relative's wedding because of a mistake that your elderly aunt made when trying to remember which address she was having us go to. I was pretty dejected, Mom was pissed at the Uber driver, because she was playing by the book, she had to call Uber corporate, though I'm not sure what she said to them. I think once she saw the $100 bill, she realized the amount of money she could make from this situation. She had other commitments too.
She said she'd drive us free of charge, but Uber tracks where it's driver's go, so we got billed again by Uber. The Uber driver on the way back said he wouldn't bill us for his frustrating experience, but Uber billed us anyway. I don't think it was the drivers, but we spent close to $200 bucks on Uber rides, plus the $100 bill mom already bribed the uber driver who took us there. My mom paid me back today. I'm not blaming my Aunt though.
If you think my Mom was frustrated, I shudder to think how frustrated my aunt was. She legitely could have missed her grandson's wedding because of her mistake, and his mother must have been having a panic attack. My other cousin, the Groom's brother had a much more disastrous wedding as well. I'm not telling the details on that one because it gets into family squabbles that we don't talk about. Speaking of that cousin, he was supposed to be there, but he's a new father, and his wife had a tough pregnancy. Work would not give him the time to visit us. I'm sad he couldn't make it I haven't seen him in years. It was me, my mom, my Aunt and uncle, my cousin, and her 11 year old daughter, who I hope I'm being a good cousin to, the way her mother was to me growing up. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!
