Picture a Saturday night, the weather is warm and the sun just beginning its dip into the mouth of the mountains below. You pull out of the driveway, excited to attend a surprise party, when a familiar plastic shape begins to buzz in your pocket.
"Hello?"
"Hey Andrew! It's Ellie! I am driving by your house right now, I thought I might say hi!"
"ELLIE! How are you? Lets meet up somewhere and talk!"
You quickly divert from your original plan to meet and chat with a best friend. You roll into the Macy's parking lot and
Ellie Wellie hops into your car for a quick chat.
Did I say quick chat? Sorry, more like an hour.
You grow weary of the parking lot and decide to start driving. Nowhere in particular, just drive. You continue to talk to your friend who you haven't seen all summer.
"Where are we going?"
"I dunno... how about Alyssa's?"
By now the party is slowly leaving your mind. Its ok if you miss it, its been too long not seeing your friend to pass this moment up.

Spontaneous fun.
Ellie and I drove through a neighborhood to visit a friend. As soon as we entered the neighborhood we were met by scores of cars lining the street like squished, colorful ants. As our little black ant squeaked by, both Ellie and I wondered what was going on.
"Hey, why is everybody dressed in shirts and ties?"
"Oh look-- it must be a wedding!"
As we drove back out of the neighborhood after attempting to find our friend (a.k.a
My Little Raindrop), and to our dismay not finding her at her residence, Ellie and I decided to look a little closer at this wedding.
It was right at that moment when Spontiration (spontaneous inspiration) hit Ellie.
"Andrew [
Andres Bosque]... we should go to that wedding!"
No. No way. Go attend someone's wedding we weren't even invited to? Go to an unfamiliar backyard full of strangers for an unfamiliar couples wedding??? Yougottabekiddingme!
So we did.

We sped to my pad, threw on some more appropriate garb for a wedding, drove back, and ever-so-casually stepped into the backyard of a stranger, into the wedding reception of two people neither Ellie nor I had ever set eyes upon.


It was all so perfect. There were so many people milling about that
Ellie Wellie and
Andres Bosque blended in like needles in a haystack.
Not only were we daring enough to go to this wedding, but we signed their book and sat down to have a bite to eat too.


(If you happen to be the couple that got married and are reading this... Those chocolate strawberries sure were good, and you two looked great! Best of luck!)From that moment on
Ellie Wellie and Andres Bosque became official
Wedding Hoppers.

We felt so daring in fact,
We went to another wedding right after that.
My Little Raindrop works at Heritage Gardens, and a wedding was going on that night. Ellie and I hopped back in the car and drove over to Heritage Gardens to visit our good friend and dine on some more food. And congratulate Amy and Jake for their new marriage of course.
We sat and waited.

And waited.
Started getting antsy while waiting for Alyssa to come out.
Ate more chocolate strawberry and sipped on a mysterious drink. Was it alcoholic? The little kid in a grey and food-stained suit was throwing it down his jugular faster than gravity, so I assumed it was safe.
When
My Little Raindrop came out of the back room, her jaw dropped when she saw us. What a pleasant surprise!
We chatted with her until one of the best men (who was actually invited to the wedding) made eye contact with Ellie when she said "We were just at another wedding!" while explaining to Alyssa why we came so late.
Ellie Wellie grinned nervously, made eye contact with me, and we both said,
"We gotta go."
We said our goodbye, hopped in the car, and drove...
to ANISHES HOUSE!!!
We got a nice tour of his pad, had some delicious ice cream, and caught up on our summers. It was great to see my good friend Anish again. Its frustrating sometimes to have conflicting schedules with someone you have been friends with since 4th grade. I rarely get to see my mate now!
I love this picture. Brothers forever!
This is a clock Ellie Wellie Loved at Anishes house.

After a night of excitement, spontaneous and daring acts, we come to a conclusion:
On occasion, spontaneous activity can be ever so adventurous, belly-filling, and daring. This night was trying new a different things. It was hopping out of my bubble and becoming a bit daring. It was a way to express creativity and explore the world around us. It was eye-opening and plain fun.
Is it coincidental that I went to the Spontaneous Dance with Ellie? Not anymore!
