Pia, Peter, Prank, Party

The title gives a preview of the subjects of this post! It was a particularly great weekend. It was beautiful, high 70's and sunny all weekend, and just jammed pack with fun-ness. Here we go!

Last year I think we had maybe 5 candle light ceremonies in my sorority. We have a lot of girls in my pledge class who are in serious relationships but we've had zero this year. Pia was the closest, her boyfriend has been graduated for a while and they have been together for a long time. She was definitely our best chance for a candle light. And... as of Friday night... she is engaged!! It was so much fun hearing the proposal story, seeing the beautiful ring, and celebrating with her and all our friends downtown!

Saturday night was my sorority's formal and my last sorority function. ever. My boyfriend (who's name, by the way, is Peter) was getting back kind of late in the day from a rugby game in Charleston. I knew he was going to be tired from the game but I was determined to make this the best function ever. I was getting ready at my girlfriend's apartment and Peter and the other dates were going to meet us there before the function. So Peter calls me about an hour before we are supposed to leave and tells me the tux rental place gave him the wrong one! I tell him that's it ok because I don't really care what he wears, I am just happy he's going with me. He calls me back a few minutes later and says he's on his way over. He also tells me he's just going to wear khakis and button up! I explain, calmly at first, that what I meant was I didn't care if he didn't wear the tux jacket, or if he wore just a regular suit. He says no the tux looks so stupid and his suits are wrinkled, he's going to wear khakis. That's when I lost my cool and started crying. He says he's on his way over and if I'm going to be mad at him he'll just find a ride back to his place. He hangs up. I'm still crying. A minute later he calls me back and our conversation went a little something like this:

Peter: "are you crying?"

Me: sobs, heaves "yes"

Peter: "please stop crying. I was just kidding. I'm wearing the tux."

Me: pause, sobs, hiccup "what?"

Peter: "don't cry, you'll mess up your makeup. I'm not wearing khakis."

Me: sob, hiccup, laugh "That was not funny!" sob, laugh

Peter: "well.. it was a little funny"

Yep, I am not good at picking up on sarcasm but I got over it. Anyways, Peter looked great! We danced and had so much fun. He was the best date ever and it ended up being my favorite function! Here is a picture. I haven't uploaded mine to the computer yet so this is just a preview of what's to come.

Sincerely,

Shannon
