Wedded Bliss

What a wild and crazy morning we had the day of the wedding. It had rained heavily overnight and again in the early morning. The garden was very wet, but usable. However the tent was extremely wet and the path to it was about 4 inches deep in water. We had to make a decision about what to do. So among T, aunt K, brother-in-law, best man, and mom and dad, we put our collective brains together to come up with a different place to have the reception. We had several good possibilities, but began striking out as phone calls were made. Suddenly I remembered a new reception hall that had only been open for a couple of months. None of us had seen it, but I knew the owner very well. So I called. As an answer to many prayers, the hall was available. A crew of us went to check it out all the while the bride and bridesmaids were transforming their beauty to the max at the salon. To make a long story short, all agreed that the place would be just right AND it was air-conditioned!!! The bride arrived to see it and agreed that it would be better to have the wedding there also as the weather prediction was for 90% chance of thunderstorms all day. With many hands and a flurry of activity, we transformed the place into a beautiful wedding setting, complete with our rented tablecloths and decorations. Many phone calls were made to tell people of the change. Hubby constructed a map and left it at the original site along with a nephew to direct people to the new, cooler location. The wedding was delayed by only 10 minutes, to assure that all would be present for the beginning of the ceremony. And it was beautiful. Both T & K were pleased with the results as they were happily married. As we cleaned up the place and carried out the stuff to take home, we were practically overcome with the hot, muggy 92 degree heat. Again we were thankful for the change to air conditioning.
