We did it - hoorah!

The wedding is done, thank heavens - we had a variety of snafus as often does occur... all the coffee I was given was whole bean and the only brewer was a giant percolator basket style one with no instructions, for instance - resulting in a panicked call to my parents to bring their coffee maker from their kitchen with them and any coffee they had in their cupboard. We completely forgot to put out the sparkling cider so I have all these bottles leftover....We had a lot of empty seats between the groom's family having almost no one there and so many of ours dropping out for various reasons... and they almost forgot to exchange rings - hastily put them on each other laughing just before heading back down the aisle. X-D

BUT - it was worth it! The dance processional to present the bride was amazing, and everyone had a good time. We're still waiting for the Good Pictures, but here's one to give an idea:

Hooray!

OMG, my niece's wedding in August had so many snafus... but no one remembers them now, only that we all had a grand time.

It does seem to come with the territory - our musician got pneumonia the day before and we had a literally last minute change to a friend with a keyboard to lead the songs, thankfully we only had one relative who got all grouchy at our last-minute-kitchen-staff (my daughter's longsuffering roommate) about the coffee situation. Looked like a great potluck, I only got a couple bites and was starving by the time we cleaned up, snarfed a banana in the car on the way back home. So it goes!

YAY! Many happy returns of the day for the newly marrieds!

Thank you! So far so good! ^_^
Now we get to sort out all the leftovers and decorations. A cousin said she had a friend getting married with the same color scheme who might buy some of it from us, hope hope.
