How To Be A Great Guest

• Fly all the way from interstate for your friends' nijikai (second wedding reception)
• Be low maintenance by happily entertaining yourself when your hosts are busy
• Smile and say you were comfortable when squished onto a blow-up mattress in the corner of the room with your feet hanging off the end
• Help them organize their sorry arses when it becomes obvious that they have left everything to the last minute and won't make it on time to their own reception
• Pick up a box of a gazillion roses and carry them four blocks before hiding them on the balcony for the groom, who is busy trying to waddle a monolith of a cake out of the cake shop and doesn't have time to go to the florist himself
• Save the day when the bride realizes the battery to her camera is at home and throws a princess tantrum, by going out and buying some disposable cameras
• Help the bride and groom celebrate till late in a karaoke marathon
• Cook them a delicious beef stew the following night when they are still hung over and too tired to even pick up the phone to order pizza (you were right, it was even more delicious two days later!)
• Spoil them rotten by buying them a kick-arse present (actually all of our wonderful friends did that!)
