Just B Rant: The Most Elite Wedding Ever...Part Two!

Published Nov 6, 2024, 8:00 AM

All of this and the after party is STILL the main event?

Okay, so now it's Saturday.

I have a new motto and this person I took to the wedding, and I have this thing that we do that like it just comes naturally. But now it's gonna be my model. If there's a big weekend or a travel weekend, or a two day thing, or you're on vacation, you're in Vegas or somewhere, something's going on. Front loaded with a first night is where the fucking wheels come off. Because we closed the place the first night. We're definitely feeling rough around the edges. This during the day of the wedding, because I'm not a late sleeper. I was tired and slightly hungover and not that motivated. That being said, Saturday we didn't like drink like maniacs. We were sort of hot and dehydrated. And the boring story is we were home by like one, and we did it like we did it. We were there from four thirty to one, and Sunday we felt like not normal, but like rested and not despicable and not like the world was coming to an end with Sunday scaries. I did get Monday scaries, but that's a separate conversation. Because it was just so exhausting and activating. But Saturday was the wedding. It was a four thirty wedding in this field where they had like the ceremony outside, and they had these umbrellas that looked like the umbrellas that come in your drinks, but in real life, like parasols.

And it was.

Blazing heat and everyone was seated, and then there were some people standing in the back in a shady row but standing, and I'm like, I don't know how long this is gonna be and if I am standing, So I just went and took two chairs from the ceremony and put them in the back on my date and I just sat in the shade on the last row.

And everyone was super jealous. So I was like shit, and my.

Guy was like, You're unbelievable. I'm like, I'm not gonna suff I'm never gonna suffer in any situation. I always gonna figure out the solution. So the ceremony was beautiful, it was reformed. The bride was like Coulture casual, if that makes any sense. It's like she had a relaxed essence to her. They're an interesting couple. They're a jet setting couple. They have a lot of European friends and art friends, and.

Just like it was. It was almost like you just like cast the wedding. They just cool people. You know, men you don't know if they're just they're gay.

They're super fashionable, they're fluid like straight guys, or they get like couples where the man and the woman are so chic, like they look like their models in an ad.

Just like a lot of interesting stuff.

And then you know then Steve Cohen and his wife Alex who's my friend who looked stunning, and her friends and her gaggle of crazy gays, and then you know she's from Puerto Rico and friends that she's not she's known from childhood. Like then there's like a Puerto Rican community, and then there's like a hedge fund community and people in sports and people in art, and like tell them it was just like a very interesting wedding because you just were having interesting conversations no matter where you went, no matter who you talked to, and the ceremony was great, and then the cocktail hour was great too. And my date and I were super hot and dehydrated because we had party the night before and we were thinking like, are we playing straight through?

What are we doing? A wee?

Okay, he was like it was hot. It was hot inside the tent when we first walked in. And then I thought that I've chosen the right person because like he would have left I would never leave this wedding early. I'm just saying he would have left at nine o'clock or he would leave nine o'clock the next morning. Like you just have that roll with someone who's like very flexible. And I'm like that too, because at a party like that, there's like ebbs and flows. We're eating salad, we're dancing, we're listening to speeches some people, speeches from people.

We don't know what, you know.

You gotta kind of like have a it's like a relay race partner, you know, or you got to roll alone, like how are we navigating this event? So there was a cocktail on a pink tennis court, and people really dressed the theme more on the Saturday, which was interesting because it was black tie, but it was like black tie mad Men, and it was fun to look at other people's takes on that. I really leaned into it. I loved my dresses. So many really young girls were coming up to me and saying your fashion or whatever your looks were so they ate or you were fly or fire fire, something like that. So I got a lot of good compliments from the younger women and on Friday, but I didn't mention to you as my makeup artist was an hour late and just never showed, so I had to scramble this beautiful woman named Beth and he showed up with twenty five minutes to do my makeup. I was so pissed and furious because I was like, fuck, nothing's worse than when you plan ahead and like you know what you're gonna do and you just still look like a shit show. And the guy was so amazing. He went out to the main bar at the hotel and came back to this casiedo like fifteen minutes away, you know, and like brought me a drink. He's a help is on the way, and he was super calm because I was internally hysterical. I was super calm too, but that probably scared him too, and he was like very good energy with it. Like he brought me a drink and he was like it's totally good. Can I help you? And he was like running around getting my purse together and getting my this and zipping my like it was really a wingman.

It was great.

I forgot to give him a shout out for that. And then on Saturday the energy was the same where the parents of the bride and the groom like they I don't want to say they knew their place. It wasn't their wedding. They were accessories. And the speeches were great, and the band was I used to produce events in LA and we used to use this band company like it's like an entertainment company, West Coast Music, this wedding band, And I'm fucking myself because when I get married again, lol, I will probably not be able to get them because I'm going to now blow them up to you doing the Lord's work. So I'd like a disclaimer to this band, please put me at the top of the list if I get married again. Because their name was Everyday People. It was the best wedding band I've ever seen in my entire life. It was like every single person was singing for the as the real person and it was like a DJ, when a band is like a DJ, but better.

They were insane.

I danced, I was fucking dripping the swamp crotch was real at one point because the tent was hot. They had a giant fan. I laid on the floor and opened up my dress and had the fan blowing up my dress. I don't know if anyone got a picture of that. It was a moment I was in a major gown. It was so we were dancing like crazy, and my guy was saying to me that I'm a jukebox because he says, I know the words to every single song, no matter what era, and you just press a button on me, and I'm dancing every lyric and singing every lyric.

So then that was that.

And then there was a casual sort of like email that I never caught that my date the night before caught, which inspired me to tell my assistance to FedEx. Just a random dress from my closet. By the way, it was a specific dress. And I've never ever used random in a way where it's not specific. Anytime you say, well, like that's random, it's always extremely specific, like oh that's random, that that's right there, whatever that is, it's always specific. So find me a place where random and specific aren't the same. It doesn't exist. So anyway, this random and also very specific dress got fedexed because they said, like, you might want to dance after and so then you might want to disco dress. And I thought, like, these are young kids and they're going to do that and I'm not doing like wardrobe changes. It became entirely functional because then we went back to the house on Friday, you could barely tell that the house was the same house on Saturday. They had completely redone it. And it was I'm not it was. This is going to be belittling to what it was, but I can't think of anything else the sickest nightclub or experience in like Ibizabitha with like I would never say that that was totally sad to hear, with like the most amazing DJ duo and the decor and like, as my guy said, he said, this is a very fucking sexy party. This whole thing, this Friday night event at that insane house, this Saturday wedding ceremony, the vows, notwithstanding the tennis court, you know, cocktail party, and the the million dollar tent event and this band and all of this was for play to get to the main act of this event, which was this fucking after party.

I don't know.

It was like it was like you just like designed it in your mind and like you cast all these people. You held like casting calls, like to get interesting people who would have like sexy, fabulous after party vibes looks like and you had like and I thought like we were the coolest people that like, none of the young people, none of the older people were gonna get on like the buses to go over to this sexy aff after party. It's called after party because it's a sexy as fucktor party. It's a sexy as fucktor party. That's what it was. And lo and behold, we left it like twelve thirty because we didn't want to like feel like shit, and we had danced in it was like you know, and it was even amazing, like electronic music and I hate electronic music.

These DJ was sick and we get on the.

Bus to go back and like there's an eighty year old man who like ran Sports Illustrated and he's talking us about the models and he's talking to me like he's thirty five years old. And Steve Cohen's friends is like private equity, you know, hedge fund guys that are like married for thirty years and their wives. Like everybody was so cool. I thought we were gonna be the car, Like, what do you mean? People were ten seventy years old at this after party like dancing. It was definitely the coolest thing. Like, I just want to get married and have that after party with those people at that after party at my wedding. I'd like to just excommunicate all my own friends and just be like, I love you guys. You're in a time capsule. You get to go over here. We're having a wedding in some traditional whatever, And that's my fucking part. Those people, I don't need to talk to any of them. I don't need to get to know. I just want to cast them all, freeze the people at this wedding and just put them at my wedding, just for like the visual. And then the guy who owns the house, his house Gala and his wife just chill hanging out in the corner being cool, just like everybody seems so fucking cool. So I had a great time. I just had a great time. I danced, it was fun and it managed to be bougie as fuck but not pretentious at all. And that, my dear is a massive success. It was like one of these things where no one came home talking about like centerpieces of food.

Who gives a shit? Like no one.

I don't even you know what I mean. So yes, shout out fun wedding weekend. I happened to love weddings and I happened to love wedding weekends.

And you're welcome, great time, congrats. Mazl imposed he wanted back to the after
