One song changed to
another, and it was hard to tell if the beat and melody was different than the
song before. Dang it, I’m that guy now. The old guy that doesn’t hear newer
songs well enough.
Jodi knew this one.
“We have the top
hits station on at work a lot,” she said. “I hear these songs a lot.”
The dance floor is
admirably filled mostly by kids twenty years or more younger than me. The lights
were dimmed. Most of them had a foam sticks in their hands that blinked a
rainbow of colors, creating a dizzying blur of color and sound.
This was the second
wedding of summer on my side of the family. The playlist for this one was
geared a little more to the younger crowd, but it did kick off with an “anniversary”
dance to “Stand By Me.”
This is a popular
feature at weddings where all the married couples start on the floor and then
are eliminated as the DJ announces years of marriage at intervals of five years.
At 17 years, we left when 20 years was called.
My parents and my
aunt and uncle were the last two couples remaining. My parents were married in
1972, and my aunt and uncle were married in 1970.
It was a nice image
as a large portion of the groom’s family had come from those two couples.
