I don't know what I imagined we would be doing the evening before Ian's wedding. In fact, I don't think I imagined anything - not having done this sort of thing before. The eldest child is always the one one learns from!
In the afternoon we had the rehearsal at the venue. Our friend Gwen had already been there for quite a long time, with her helpers (husband Jan, and friend Claudette), arranging the flowers and table centres. What a blessing that it was a public holiday - takes the stress and rush away from the wedding day. It was all looking beautiful already. Then the sound equipment for the worship team was checked in the chapel, and the procedure practised and final adjustments to the programme made. I took some photos with my cell-phone, but the trick is how to get them from my phone into a computer - any computer!
Ned rushed off to his brothers and nephew to practise the songs they'll be singing at the reception, and took the borrowed keyboard to set it up and see how it worked - unsuccessfully!
While he was off there, the rest of us had supper - the young men were rather hungry! Allan opened a bottle of wine that was left from his friend's wedding a few weeks ago - and a chatty time was held around the table. Ned came home, ate, and then Alec - the owner of the keyboard - came to show us all how to set it up.
Ian, Allan, Ned, and Paul spent a fair amount of time working on their speeches for The Day, and Ian was also busy with emails. Richard seemed to be busy with varsity work. Cameras were all put on charge. I glanced through the mind-map that I had drawn up for Sunday night's sermon - but was not in a frame of mind to concentrate on it! Some of us sat and watched a mindless comedy on TV, and then started drifting off to bed.
