pre-wedding

I was going to say that the pre-wedding week was fairly plain sailing but how wrong could I be? So, the story goes back a bit……it starts when my brother first went to the registry office to ask for a registrar to be present at the wedding. He and Emma had already decided their church building was too small to get married in so they wanted to use the Kidderminster Elim instead. The registrar told him the building had never been registered as a church so she couldn’t come. So they had to arrange to get married at the registry office before the church wedding. So far so good. The pastor of the Kidderminster church however has been pretty rubbish at communicating with Sam and Emma and on Tuesday announced he had booked a funeral before the wedding which although they could still get married there left them no time to get the Church decorated or for the band to practice (who had not all played together before). Sam was so mad at first but my dad helped him sort out another church through one of his friends who is a local pastor. It ended up being a much better venue anyway and the pastor and his wife couldn’t do enough to help, they were so gracious and lovely.

Thursday night was a bit mad as the night before probably tends to be! I was painting my mum's toenails while she was ironing the mens' shirts as they were all provided still in their packets. Just before we went to bed, Steve threw his back out and we knew it was likely he was going to be immobile on Friday. I couldn’t believe the timing.
