Relax folks... Not me. I don't think I'll ever be that vision in white (and special thanks to yall out there in blogger land who have convinced me that I'm a circus freak for being 30 with no husband and/or kids!).
This is the story of another boring Saturday afternoon at your neighborhood pharmacy. I'm on the computer looking at the dinner menu at Legal Seafood for cheat weekend (five days good eating, two days not so great) when my technician says "does that lady have on a wedding dress?". I look around the corner and sure enough there is a full fledged bride (with her groom) in the first aid aisle with her train gathered in her hands and him frantically searching for the Benadryl. "Can I help you guys?". "My wife is having an allergic reaction to a bee sting! Where is the non drowsy Benadryl?"
Now because he truly did look panicked, I curbed my usual desire to be a smart ass. By definition, Benadryl makes you drowsy- that's what it does. But this man looked like he was about to weep with the sheer urgency of it all, so I just smiled calmly. "Where were you stung, ma'am?". "On the bottom of my foot."
**blink**
Putting aside yet another unnecessary question of how could you possibly get stung on the bottom of your foot with shoes on in a church, I ruled out true allergy (throat swelling, difficulty breathing), pointed them toward the Benadryl cream, and told her that should do the trick just fine. She looked mortified that her husband had her in a drugstore in her wedding haberdasherie for a simple bee sting, but oh well... They now have an interesting wedding story.

Were there pauses after each of these stupid answers? I would need a sec to compose and not be an ass.
were they white? cause if they were, they don't wear shoes to their outdoor weddings and accidently step on bees/wasps/hornets
how do I know? oh, i've seen it before. matter of fact, i accidently kneeled on a bee i had just killed and got a nasty sting/bump.
how random is that?
Van- always a pause after the stupid questions. That (hopefully) gives the people a second to realize that they are fools.
Stace- Yes they were white. But they were in a CHURCH, not outside, so... I don't know :(
i love it!!! at my wedding that would be a possibility... i plan on being barefoot.
there are worse things that could happen on a wedding day. at least they didnt forget his last minute viagra script.
stace why you hatin!!! some people just like nature, and want to be barefoot in it.
