Lux asked me a couple weeks ago if I wanted to accompany him to a wedding he was in last weekend. It happened to be a weekend that I was without a Squishy, so I said I would be his plus one, and we could spend some time together before Fusion. Well, after a week of trying to figure out details, Lux made his way down after the rehearsal.
We had joked a day or two before that whenever we spend time together, we need to do prep work. Drinking extra water, stretching, cardio, all an amusing number of things to need to do knowing our own marathon habits.
Well, the entire weekend was busy. The wedding went smoothly, with the exception of Lux's suit exploding on the dance floor. He kept said that it fit poorly, and then tried to squat while dancing, and poof. We thought about trying to get through dinner, but that wasn't going to happen. Just as food was being brought out, we went back to the hotel, where Lux did a full squat, just for the full range of pants explosion, before rejoicing in getting out of that suit, and into his own which he was more comfortable in.
After that though, it went quite well.
The next day we went back to the grounds, because the venue was on a state park and just beautiful. We wanted to kill time before driving south, so a long walk through pretty woods, and looking at mountains, and gardens, and little hobbit homes. Afterward, we went to a massive cigar shop to pick up enough cigars to get us through the summer. I had been to this chain of shops before, but Lux hadn't, and even though I told him, he was surprised by how big the place was.
A long drive later, we were back, and tired. However, we were happy with the weekend, and had done a lot of things we had wanted to do more of.
At one point, I mentioned that we had been together for long enough that I'm his longest term partner, no matter how he cut it. He was surprised, and we joked, but it was interesting to bring up.
Before he left, we tried to figure out some stuff, and generally just got some snuggles and silliness in while still tired from the long weekend.
Weddings might be a perfect storm for my social anxieties, but I feel like this weekend was the perfect short trip to start off a busy summer.
