I have horrible candle and word flubbing stories, but this is better (just because it is fresh in mind i think). Here goes:
This last year was my senior and my fiance's 5th year. At his formal in springtime his fraternity crowns a "rose queen". This is someones girlfriend who has done a lot for the fraternity and been involved. Well, he proposed a few months before formal (i said yes) and he kept hinting at rose queen. I wasnt so sure I would get it because there were a couple other girlfriends who were really cool and stuff also. So I wasnt holding my breath (granted I did want it). Well there is this other girlfriend of one of the senior brothers. She has kind of dated a few of the brothers before this one (and she had been dating the most recent for less than a year). She wasnt very involved, unless you count showing up at parties. BUT she kept asking me for details about rose queen. I had overheard the brothers one night when I was at an out of house party that she hadn't even been nominated for RQ. So I had some inside info. Well for the month or so before formal she kept coming up to me and pumping me for info. I just told her I didnt know anything, but I had a feeling it would be Jane (just to get her off my back). So one day she asks me again and I tell her the same thing and she almost bursts into tears and tells me that she just HAS to be RQ. I just back away....
So formal comes up. She corners me in the hottubs the second day of formal (the night of the dance and announcement of RQ) and tells me she picked out her formal dress to make the roses stand out later that night. (They give the RQ roses). She even tells me that the dress is black but has a red under trim so the roses can show off! Knowing what I do, I just tell her that sounds nice.
At the dance....The announcement of RQ comes at the end of the night, after many many many drinks. I am standing in the bar while they are trying to make an announcement. Well my fiance is trying to get me into the ballroom, but I was scared I would drop my drink. So finally he takes it, downs it, and tells me...ok lets go now. I walk in and they announced I was RQ.
So here is the funny/inappropriate conclusion....the other girl throws a FIT! She is crying and yelling at her BF while they are serenading me. It was hillarious. I shouldnt have laughed, but I really couldnt help it. The rest of the night (and probably now still) she has a different nickname. She was a little nuts....
