This ^^^^^^
I recently attended a wedding where I did not know a lot of people. I expected that I would stay close to those I did know and hope we left early.
As it turned out, I had the best time talking to a variety of new people and when my people came up and said a cab had been called, I was reluctant to leave because I was having so much fun!
It would have been a much uglier story if I were still drinking.
