You were surprised that they invited
you? We've all been best friends since college. I would've been shattered if they didn't invite me!
* shattered:
severely disappointed or emotionally hurt
ex> Jeff was shattered when he
found out his favorite TV show was cancelled.
No, I was surprised that they were
getting married at the Hotel del Coronado. This place is the cream of the crop!
* the
cream of the crop: the best
= the crème de la crème; the best of the
best; the pick of the crop
ex> The black and white Palomino was
definitely the cream of the crop in the horseracing world.
Well, they both make a pretty good
living and they come from well-to-do
families, so I think it’s only natural that they pick an upscale place like
this.
* well-to-do:
rich; wealthy
ex> Although they weren't well-to-do,
they did own several luxury automobiles.
ex> The well-to-do family
vacationed in Switzerland and St. Thomas twice a year.
They really paid attention to details
for this wedding and probably all weddings held here, come to think of it.
* come
to think of it: upon further consideration
ex> I haven’t traveled to Europe in a
while. Come to think of it, it’s been 15 years!
I think I just got caught up in the moment. Well, not entirely, Chloe, but you
know what I mean.
* be/get
caught up in the moment: to get emotionally involved in a situation and to
do or say something reflecting those emotions
ex> The team was caught up in the
moment as the national anthem of their country played.
