Erin’s lingerie shower at Yia-Yia’s went really well.\u00c2\u00a0 Ashley did great in reserving that private room for us so we were free to talk about all sorts of things without being worried about offending any of the other restaurant patrons.\u00c2\u00a0 With the doors closed, no one outside was the wiser.\u00c2\u00a0 It was just us girls: Paige, Ashley, Erin, Kelly (Erin’s sister), Molly, Sarah, Savannah and myself.<\/p>\n
The privacy worked especially great for the opening of gifts because, as you know, we all got lingerie stuff.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t know how that would have gone over with all the other prying eyes if we weren’t in the “special” private room.<\/p>\n
Audra’s brother was our server.\u00c2\u00a0 I didn’t know he was back in town.\u00c2\u00a0 Many years ago he left for missionary work (they are Mormons) and that was the last I had seen or heard of him.\u00c2\u00a0 I couldn’t remember his name to save my life so I didn’t say anything.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t know if he recognized me but he didn’t let on.\u00c2\u00a0 I did recognize him, though.<\/p>\n
I didn’t drink much (just one bellini, the rest of the time I drank water) so my bill wasn’t that bad considering Yia-Yia’s is kind of pricey.\u00c2\u00a0 My bellini was $5 and my entre\u00c3\u00a9 was $15.\u00c2\u00a0 With tax my total came to about $22 and then I wrote it for $30, leaving him an $8 tip.\u00c2\u00a0 Not just because I knew him, but also because he was pleasant, patient and professional (the 3Ps of serving – LOL).<\/p>\n
Of course, my damage was nothing compared to Ashley’s!\u00c2\u00a0 Molly didn’t have enough cash and she didn’t have a debit card so between the two of them, they decided that Molly would just write Ashley a check and then Ashley would just include hers with her own tab.\u00c2\u00a0 Ashley picked up Erin’s (the honoree) since she was the host.\u00c2\u00a0 With three people on her tab, all huge drinkers, the damage was pretty bad.\u00c2\u00a0 It could rival the WTC catastrophe.<\/p>\n
It was all good and fun, though, so it was well worth any over-priced meal any day.\u00c2\u00a0 After all, it’s not every day that your friend gets married.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
