The last two days I've been playing Super Sister!!!!!
Today was my 2nd brother's wedding and he needed a lot of help with preparation.
They decided to try to do it without getting extra help.
So yesterday I met them at the church at 3pm. They had a few friends there but they had no idea what to do. So I jumped in and started directing them where to put the tables and chairs. There was confusion over the tablecloths so off I ran to the nearby Wally World to pick up every tablecloth in the store.
When I got back we go upstairs to sanctuary for practice. (Did I mention I was the person who directed the procession?)
Next I ran around helping put the food out for the reception dinner and clean up.
I collapsed in my bed at 12:30am. But we had guests in the house and one of them suffered from a horrible cough for most of the night. They were sleeping in the Den next to my room. I'd almost jump out of my achy skin everytime he'd start coughing.
Up early next morning with huge bags under my bloodshot eyes. Race off to the church again. Meet the cake lady...
Start prepping food for reception...talk to harpist...get flowers to groomsmen...deal with unity candle issues...help dress ringbearer.....put runner down...help with the flower girls halos...Where's the third bridesmaid, the two ushers?!!!!
It's 30 minutes until time to start Where's the Bride!!!!
Bridesmaid is on side of the road with one of the ushers out of gas a mile down the road. Bride is downstairs putting blueberries and flowers around candles on the tables.
Send someone to get the Bridesmaid and Usher from side of the road. Can't find other Usher... don't know what happened to him...doesn't answer phone..
Shoot bride into the dressing room.
It's 15 minutes past time for the wedding to start!
Warn the harpist, preacher, and audiance of a slight delay.
It's pouring rain and the Bride and Bridesmaids have to be escorted by one large umbrella one at a time around to the front of the church.
Okay...everyone's in their place...breathe...smile... showtime! Nearly one hour late.
After the wedding I race downstairs to get the food out on the table. Thank goodness several warm bodies appear and help me get the food out and help clean up.
I am now settled in my recliner fixing to go to bed to sleep for the rest of the year. Wake me at 9am on January 1, 2013. Night ya'll.
