Does the sound of the wedding march make you sigh in resignation? Have you figured out using geometry how to avoid catching the bouquet/garter? Does the chicken dance coincide with a trip to the washroom? If you answer yes to any of these questions or even all of them then you have experienced the traditional summer past time....the wedding.
I have been fortunate this year with only one wedding to attend, and as it was for someone I consider family and friend I wasn't bothered at all.
Yesterday I was able to watch as Stefan and Laura got married and celebrated with their friends. I saw people I haven't seen in awhile and my thanks to Joey and Glenda for coming with me to the ceremony. The ceremony was beautiful in its simplicity. The bride was absolutely stunning as brides are supposed to be and the bridal party looked handsome and beautiful accordingly. The piano playing was superb as you expect when Nathan's playing and the Marshall's did a great job. The reception was a lot of fun. Good food, nice desserts and a great DJ. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves to the hilt and I know I did. Even in this heat.
So my congratulations to the happy couple and may they enjoy many years together. Looking back at their wedding and telling their children "but those dresses were fashionable then"

Summer is here
Well I've finally done it. Busy season is done at work, busy season is done at church so now I can relax.
We were fortunate this year to have Rockford band up visiting for Stampede and what a great time. Thursday evening we all gathered at the church to share in dinner and a massed band practice. It was very hot in the sanctuary and having more than double the number of people in there did not help matters.
Friday morning we were up bright and early to march in the Stampede parade and what a bunch of fun that always is. This year the stampede did 30 hours of tough which meant that for 30 hours you were supposed to wear pink in support of breast cancer research so we had pink ribbons on our lapels and the timbrels had pink ribbons on their tambourines. It was great marching and seeing the pink theme reflected in our audience as well. What a fabulous show of support. Friday night we gathered at the grounds for the chuckwagon races and grandstand show. I loved the grandstand show it just seems to get better and better every year and the fireworks were amazing.
Saturday was the BBQ and hoe-down at the church. It was another really hot day but the food was great and the program was really well done. After the program a bunch of us went out and it was a great opportunity to meet several of the Rockford people and get to know them a bit better.
Today was church and then lunch with the two bands afterwards. I really enjoyed the visitors and am sorry to see them go home, but look forward to seeing them again. What a great stampede weekend.
YAHOO!!!
