I'm trying to get Nick to do a guest blog, but I'm not sure if he'll ever have time to, so I'll do some of the updating. I don't know everything that went on there and I really don't wanna know. I do know that it was all good, clean fun.
Saturday Dad, Jaace, Ryan, Russell, Robbie, and Robert Pavelka all loaded up to head to Wharton. They all met up at our house and headed out of town at about 1:15. Yes, they looked like they were the President's bodyguards-all big guys packed into a big black burban. Before they even set foot in Mom's car, they all had a beer. I'm sure that they had several on the way there too. They seem to think the open container law doesn't pertain to them!
They arrive at their hotel, The Country Hearth Inn. Dad realizes that he left his wallet in his truck. The lady won't accept his out-of-town check so he calls Mom for the credit card number. (He had to save his cash for the dice games!) While he's on the phone the lady sees the name on the check and says, "Oh, your Chumchal, you stay here alot." Dad says, "Lady, don't say that, I'm on the phone with my wife." There is laughter in the background and she realizes it is Curtis Chumchal from Wharton.
Nick heads to the hotel to lead them to Country Crafts and Collectibles so that they can get measured for their tuxedos. When Nick arrives all of the guys are standing around the car drinking beer. This doesn't surprise me one bit, but it might have caught Nick offguard. Especially since there was a police officer parked right across the street. Russell jumps in Nick's truck with his beer. The cop pulls out behind Nick and swerves around him. I'd imagine that Nick was nervous. So, they get to CCC and all heck breaks loose. Poor Tricia will probably never think of me the same. Dad calls Mom again so that he can find out what size of shoes and pants Jaace wears. Everyone is laughing in the background as well as Tricia. Supposedly they were trying on the top hat that she had in the store. I can only imagine all the heck they are giving her.
After they were done with that, they wanted Nick to take them to a local bar. Well, unlike Shiner, there isn't a beer joint on every corner so Nick took him to the one that he knew of. Evidently, the locals weren't to keen on having foreigners in their territory. Eventually the people ended up liking all the guys and carried on with them for a while. Funny thing was, Curtis Chumchal, the guy that stays at Country Hearth alot was there. They all got a kick out of meeting him. They left the joint and headed to kick off the bachelor party.
Like typical Shinerites, the crew were the first ones at the party and the last ones to leave. Nick had a wonderful time until he excused himself to vomit at around midnight. The guys said he didn't return after that. Jake also had a great time. He ended up crashing on the ground, out of his chair at about the say time. Luke ended up driving them to our trailer across the pasture at about 1:30am. The next day, Nick was fine. You never would have known that he drank the entire day before.
Thank goodness you only get married once in your life! I hope that I feel as good as Nick does next Sunday!
