Location: Oakland Temple
Time: May 1, 2004 right after I am married and about to take my wedding photos with friends and family and (yay!) my new husband.
Cast of characters: Me, my family, Chris, Chris' family and my ex-boyfriend and his entire family. Record scratch. Say what?
Exiting the temple. Unfortunately I don't have one of us in front of the temple on my computer.
That's right. My ex and his family were all there because my ex's sister got married the same day I did at the same place, just at different times. Somehow it ended up that as we were taking our pictures in front of the temple (prime real estate because it is so beautiful) my ex's family was waiting for us to finish on the side so they could start their photo session. I mean, we just beat them so they were there almost the entire time. What's more awkward is that the break-up did not go so well. In fact, Chris brags that he stole me away from this guy although that isn't entirely true (but I let him think it). I digress.
So yes, not a great break-up and what's worse is that I knew their family really well. They were a really great family and I loved hanging out with them. Super nice when I ran into them later that day. Yes, we did have a brief and awkward conversation. Way more awkward than I would have liked on the best day of my life.
What's your most awkward moment? Please tell in the comments below. I'd love to hear!

So... I can't think of an awkward situation. When I do, I'll totally post it.
About tonight, I'll bet at the church by 6:15. I don't get off of work until 5 and then I have to run two errands and pick up the decoratios from my moms school, and I'll head over. I'm glad you signed me up too. Otherwise, I'd be sitting at home, in my pj's, watching re-runs of The Office and random make up videos on youtube. Ain't life grand?
Well, I don't know if it is THE most awkward, but when I was working nightshift at UCDMC the nurses were responsible for taking bodies down to the morgue. There was one particularly large man whom we had to transfer onto the guerney. In an effort to save our backs, someone innocently cautioned, "Careful--it's dead weight". We burst out laughing then stopped in sheer horror at outselves!! Sandy.
I love it! (Is that bad that I laughed also?)
...all the books in the world could not contain even a portion of the awkward moments I have had!
Honeymoon. Supposed to be. Mother-in-law insists we come over for sunday "dinner" ( married SATURDAY, less then 24 hours ago). Long story ( different time :) ) Come for dinner ( 40 minute drive from "honeymoon"). MIL : so, did you see the ocean? Us : no. MIL: did you go to the playground swings they have over there? Us : no. MIL : did you go see the town christmas fair. Us :no. MIL : so WHAT did you DO with your time?!
US: staring at each other, trying not to burst out laughing. What DO people do on the HONEYMOON?! Seriously.
I was just barely pregnant and didn't know it yet. In case no one's told you, you get INSANELY UNBELIEVABLY INHUMANELY tired in the first trimester. I was just starting a summer internship for the Department of Homeland Security and had the chance to get some training by the Assistant Chief Counsel, so sort of a big wig. (This isn't supposed to sound braggy, the internship isn't all that competitive!) Anyway, there were just 3 of us in his tiny office, and I fell dead asleep while he was talking to me. Mid-conversation. Face to face. That pretty much made an awkward few weeks until I found out I was pregnant and had a good excuse.
Wow, that's a crazy story to happen on your wedding day of all days!
