The biggest detail we needed to work out was the timing of Fawn's walk down the aisle. Or rather, Fawn's walk down the sidewalk. The sidewalk leading from the start of the sidewalk to the steps of the old church is about a hundred yards long. It was tricky timing the piece of music for the bride's entrance with the distance with Fawn's steps. We got it worked out. If all else fails, we will put Fawn on a skateboard and pull her with a string.
Rehearsal went really well. Our coordinator Lisa has things under control and I know that at about 3:00 P.M. on Sunday, I will hand over the clipboard of power to her and just enjoy my day with my lady, my family, and my friends.
As with every wedding there were a few glitches yesterday.
We had some issues with our linens. They have been resolved.
We had some issues with our music. They have been resolved.
There was some family drama.
So any way...
I did a little too much yesterday, I guess, and ended my day in agony. My head and neck were screaming at me, loudly, and finally fell asleep sometime around 12. Or 1. I have no clue really. I'm a little wiped this morning. Gotta play it safe today. No heavy lifting.
Let's focus on the positive though.
The weather cleared up.
Our programs came out beautiful and the store manager even gave us a 30% discount....just 'cuz she likes us.
We ended the day with our wedding party at a restaurant for a nice dinner. It was a little awkward at first because the hostess couldn't figure our where to put us. So there we all stood. Right in the middle of a very busy restaurant waiting for a table as the 12 year who was in charge of the floor stared blankly and gave us attitude. Eventually someone who knew what they were doing, and who graduated the 7th grade, put together a long table for us. With the exclusion of 4 of the younger people, we were all able to sit together.
The 20 year old's didn't mind though. They were just happy to not to have to hear all our old people talk about insurance and replacement hips and mortgages.
We ate, we drank, we ate some more, we laughed and we ate some more. Huge portions at that place. Huge. I think we all walked out with white styrofoam boxes.
This morning we are having a breakfast with some of the wedding party at Silver Diner. I can't stop thinking about pigs-in-blankets and, really, that's what a groom should be thinking about the day before his wedding.
The day before his wedding.
Wow.
I'm getting married tomorrow.
I'm getting married tomorrow.
I'm getting married tomorrow.
I'm getting married tomorrow.
I'm getting married tomorrow.
I'm getting married tomorrow.
I'm getting married tomorrow.
That came up on us fast. At about 1000 miles per hour, I'd say.
What did John Lennon say? "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans."
The always witty Mr. Lennon also said "As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot."
I couldn't have said it better myself.
