This past weekend

Wow! What a weekend...Friday, I spent the early part of the afternoon swimming at my aunt's condo, then headed to sq1 for the Eddy to wash the bridal car. Running behind schedule as the decorations for the bridal car wasn't done til 7:30ish then headed to Business Depot to get some gold/silver pens. By the time we got back to the house, it was 8pm, time for dinner. His family invited me to stay for dinner and by this time I was suppose to be at the Church to help decorate. So I called a friend of mine to let him know to let everyone else know that I was running approx. 1/2 hr late. Turns out I was an hour late. Stayed and helped w/ decorations til 10:30pm then headed home.

On Saturday, I woke up pretty early. Couldn't really sleep...just excited! So I got up at 7am and did the usual and asked my mom to do my hair at 8am. By the time the hair and makeup was done, I had to leave and pick up Alice. Then I went to pick up the lunches for the helpers and headed to the Church. Did some last minute decorations and flowers...setup the reception table,etc... The wedding cermony went smoothly w/o a hitch. Running off schedule but it was great. The couple looked so cute and so happy. They also did the unity candle and a slideshow presentation. S&E also presented a chinese song for them too, it was done very well. The lyrics and the melody just made you melt...

After the ceremony, I parked my car at my friend's place and changed as well and proceeded to the restaurant after loading some essentials for the evening. I was told not to leave my car at the Church at night b/c of liability reasons. So thankfully, my friend allowed me to park...saved me some long D driving. Took a couple Tynenol and halls for my voice and pounding headache...oh!! it felt so good...Left my friend's place D at 4:30pm and got to the reception in Scarborough by5pm.

At the reception, the ushers helped setup the dinner favors among other things and seated the guests. Emmanuel presented our own lyrics to the tune "More precious than silver" and the chorus of "All my life" by KC and JoJo. There were also games for the bride/groom it was pretty funny including guess who's massaging you?, chicken dance, tracing the character of double happiness w/ his lips w/ lipstick on a napkin around Shirley's neck. Towards the end of the night, the bride threw her bouqet and I caught it. Guess that means, I'm next to get married...hahaha...Who's the lucky guy? hahaha...They didn't do the garter though...too bad. By the end of the night, I slept almost all the way on the way back...Thxs for the ride back to Sauga D. Got home around 1am...and after taking all pins and clips from my hair, etc...I slept like a baby.
(Side note: Thxs to those who helped me that evening...Thxs for your encouragement and help.)
