always a bridesmaid, continued | 2002-04-07 - 8:29 p.m. "So, qui�n es el lucky hombre?" I finalmente asked, once I got my voice back. Without a pizca of iron�a in her voice, Mam� filled me in on los pormenores of su suegra's latest conquista rom�ntica. Aparentemente, Abuelita was prowling the chat room at funkytimes.com late one noche when she started charlando with un caballero desconocido about Shakira's latest album. She and este tipo entered into a playful repartee about the current state of pop music, which flowered into a more serious conversation about the legalizaci�n of marijuana. Before the noche was over, she and Se�or Chatty were making plans to rent a deluxe Winnebago and drive to Costa Rica together. Y as they say, el resto is history. Before the month was out, they had their wedding clothes picked out and their guest list committed to paper. "They wanted to have a runaway wedding, but they settled on Las Vegas instead so la familia could attend. Isn't that rom�ntico?" mi madre was telling me. "Do you and Daddy know anything about this man, mam�?" "No, but your abuela says this man makes her feel young." I rolled my eyes. As if Abuela needed any asistencia with that. "And don't you roll your eyes, m'hija. He's a respectable man, if he's talking about marriage." I was about to hang up when mam� added, como un afterthought, "Castigada? Make sure you keep the first Sunday of June free. Abuela says she wants you to be one of her bridesmaids."
