250 Words: Wedding boy


Wedding boy is suited and booted.  Wedding boy stands straight and smart at all times.  Wedding boy is polite and charming, speaks clearly and calmly, is somewhat soothing in tone.  This kid is a professional of his kind; though only at weddings.  Only in this field does he come to life.
  
Everything about the occasion seems to fire the blood through his veins.  A large family of older siblings and cousins meant he spent every summer of his teens at various weddings and he grew a connection to the atmosphere and the rhythm of the occasion from the ceremony to the photos to the dinner and the dancing.

A superhero in a way, he can mingle like no other, talk with anyone of any age about any subject.  The fact that he cannot pass a job interview to save his life only highlights how at ease he feels in the wedding arena.  Away from it he is like a toy left on the shelf waiting to be picked up and played with again.  Then, once in the thick of it, he comes to life and runs on his pre-programmed engine.

Wedding boy is suited, booted, smart, polite and articulate.  Wedding boy knows how to work the crowd.  Wedding boy is happy for today, happy in the sun with champagne in hand.  Wedding boy thinks not of tomorrow.  Of the next non-wedding day and wait for the next invitation.  Rather he enjoys and savours every moment of each couple’s perfect day.
