Have you ever been to a wedding where one thing after another goes wrong? Well, this was not one of those fiascos! Praise the Lord!
Because I knew of every detail, I was aware of deliverable timetables, over and under delivery of items, oversight and foresight, planned sequence of events versus actual sequence of events. The Wedding, from early morning preparation for the reception at the gallery, to the wedding, to the actual reception and clean up afterwards was a truly blessed event for those who participated.
The bride and groom were thrilled how everything flowed and they had an absolutely joyous time. Family member and friends commented to how wonderful the wedding and the reception were. Words cannot describe it and the wedding couple could not thank those who helped enough.
Before the wedding, being a groomsman, I shared a very special, private time with the groom, the best man and another groomsman. We laughed hard and we also spoke from the heart. Having been married and having learned plenty during and afterwards, I was able to offer sage advice to allay jitters and fears the groom was feeling.
During the Wedding, being a groomsman, I was able to have a elevated view of the bride as the doors to the church foyer was opened. I was later able to look at the bride as she gazed into the groom's eyes through the vows. When they were done and officially husband and wife, they chose to play a glorious version of "Oh Happy Day."
The reception was touching, fun and special in so many ways. All the traditional functions were incorporated and it was celebrated by more people than we thought would show up. Yes, I did get to dust off my disco dancing shoes and it was as fun as ever!
I was asked to play an important role, and in turn, was so blessed, soooo blessed in deed.
