Two weddings in one day: I don't recommend this.
Alarm Saturday 5am. Long shower, because shaving. Blow dry (I never do this!) so I can set hair on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wordplay's hot rollers. Spritzer (I never use this). Then put the coffee on. Then makeup (I seldom wear this), but not lipstick yet, because coffee, breakfast, etc. And then finish packing. Then the rollers are cool, so I take them out, more spritzer, fuss for a while, end up with it half back in a clip. Breakfast, then lipstick, then coffee -- the rest of the coffee in a travel mug and off I go.
It is now 9:30.
At the church for the singing wedding 10am approx. Warm up, get our picture taken, sing nice. I duck out a side door 11:30ish and get to the airport to check in for my flight to NC for Son of a Preacher Man's wedding. Fly, land, rent a car, find hotel. Curls have collapsed; massive curling iron touch-up. More spritzer. Comb out so what I've got is a wave with curled ends. Change -- one pair of 3" heels for another, and into my fabulous dress. More makeup. Into the car, drive to the place. Half an hour. Ceremony at 5:30 -- lovely. I knew nobody except the bride & groom. Met some nice folks @ reception. Left a little after 10pm. Back at hotel, get as much sorted as possible. In bed at midnight.
Woke up this morning from a dream where we'd switched to Daylight Savings so I'd missed breakfast and there was no coffee. There was some other stuff about curling irons and foam rollers and bridesmaids' dresses, but I don't remember it all. Fortunately, I was wrong, so, breakfast, and now [i.e. this morning when I was writing this] I'm hanging out with the TV, then will shower & check out & return the car & go home.
I managed to get switched to a different flight home -- had to go through Philadelphia intead of going nonstop, but I got home ten minutes after the original flight was scheduled to take off. Exhausted, and I don't know if this would be any better if both weddings were in the same city. I think the only way to do two weddings in under 24 hours is if they're on different calendar days -- morning and evening on Saturday are no good, but evening Saturday and morning Sunday might be all right. GAH.
Also: things that suck -- zits that grow under makeup, of which you are unaware until you have washed your face. On the other hand, I suppose it's good that they don't break through. (I have never been happier to scrub my face than I was last night, y'all. And I'm still going to be digging mascara out of the corners of my eyes for days.) Things that rock -- having lost enough weight to be able to wrap a hotel towel around self & leave it there. Woo!
