My son’s wedding is this year on All Hallows Eve – yes, that’s Halloween. It’s planned as a black tie, masked ball and will take place at dusk. Very appropriate for Halloween. Hopefully, no one will misconstrue the meaning of “masked ball” and show up as Spiderman wearing a black tie. You would think everyone would get it, but you never know.
Those fears became more real when I started receiving the RSVP cards. First only one arrived – from my neighbor whom I already know is coming. Then they started arriving two and three at a time - very exciting. Until I open one, pull it out of the envelope and it’s blank. Yes, BLANK. I stared at it for a moment, confused. I looked at the envelope, no return address. I looked at it again – like maybe they used invisible ink or something and all of a sudden a name and number would appear! Duh! Do you ever have times when things just don’t process in your brain right away? When you just keep looking, like your going to figure it out? Like there must be something I’M doing wrong? What the hell? Did they pull it out of the stamped envelope, look at it, and say “Hmmm, that’s silly. Why would they send me a blank RSVP card in a stamped envelope? How stupid, I guess I’ll just send it back since it has a STAMPED envelope.” Or, did they just have a senior moment – they remembered to RSVP but just spaced the filling out part. We’ll probably never know. Meanwhile, I’m keeping it with the others and will count it as “two.” I just hope it’s not Spiderman.
