The day has finally come. After 4 days of waiting, 3 days of shopping, 2 dresses purchased (my credit card will thank me for the large payment I will make once I start that new job), the day has finally come for the wedding that is “no big deal.”

Brad picks me up promptly at 6:00 in his Volcom tux and 3 series BMW in flat black. I must say, he cleans up well and if his sleeves were a little longer, I would have never guessed that he had a full sleeve. Also, for a Bad Boy type, he’s very polite – opens doors and even brought me a chilled bottle of water. Nice touch (pay attention fellas!).

The wedding is uneventful, and full of couples. The reception is even more uneventful. Nevertheless, we befriend a very cool couple. The guy was a total Boarder who tells us about a wine bar in Culver City, called Ugo, and invites us for drinks next Thursday.

Wait – does this mean we have plans? Does this mean there is another date? What will I tell Matt who is at home right now watching the U.S.C. v. Notre Dame Game? Will I tell Matt? Should I tell Matt?

I decide to put the burning questions on the back burner, and just proceed to the dance floor with Brad. After paying homage to Rihanna (why is she on every freaking song?), we headed to my favorite part of the wedding: the dessert area which was comprised of four cupcake towers (read: heaven). We shared a Red Velvet and Mexican Chocolate Churro Cupcake from the fabulous Sweet E’s bakeshop (http://www.sweetesbakeshop.com/), which were more delicious than words can describe. My consumption was only restricted by the tightness of my bandage dress (yes, I wore it last night too – it’s my uniform!). Trust me, I would have a Chocolate Mint Cake Pop if my dress wasn’t about to pop.

Brad dropped me off at my apartment and sent me off with a passionate kiss. As I walked up to the door by myself, I saw a shadow and immediately grabbed my mace (single ladies gotta be safe in L.A.!). Turns out, the “shadow” was a large flower arrangement from Matt! How incredibly sweet. “Had a great time last night. Hoping you’ll join me in Vegas next weekend. Matt” Um, yes. I text Matt to thank him and confirm, and realized that I might be dating two guys at once!

I just hope he doesn’t want to leave on Thursday.
