The day after the wedding

#1 Postby coriolis » Fri Aug 18, 2006 2:10 pm

Tomorrow my step daugher is getting married. I think that this is worse than my own wedding 16, or is it 17 years ago? :cry: :P

Anyway, everyone is excited, and all the decorations, clothes, etc. came in and fit. The beer is paid for. It seems that everything is ready. We paid cash for everything and I have $5 left.

I came up with an idea about what to do with all the balloons. I'm going to print out some mini announcements and tie them to the balloons. After the reception we're going to have a "balloon release." Maybe someone in a far away place will send congratulations. I hope that nobody sends me a citation for littering.

Ed - it's almost over. I'm proud of you for paying cash for everything - wow, I'm impressed! We went to an outdoor wedding once, as each guest walked into the park area where the wedding was to be held, you were handed a balloon. Later we all released them at once. I think the minister said something profound but I can't remember what he said!

My early congrats to the Bride & Groom and the parents (that's you). Try to relax now.......:-)!

Let us know how it all goes.

Mary

I think that they're going to have a hat or a basket for the bridal dance. I've seen that a lot around here too. (I think it should be $5 per minute or something like that)

It'll be interesting. There will be the mother and step father of the bride (me and my wife), the father of the bride with his new wife, the mother and step father of the groom, and the father of the groom with his new wife. Hopefully the father of the groom won't hit on the mother of the bride again. Also there will be a friend-of-the family with her daughter who is from a nephew who will be there with his wife.

One relative can't be there because he's in custody. One nephew is now out of jail and will be there, and a cousin of the groom is now off probation and can be there. At least the father of the brides son won't be there because THAT would be trouble. West Virginia doesn't own the rights to interesting families.

Maybe the beer wasn't a good idea. :eek:

This is starting to sound like a movie plot Ed - take notes! You could pitch this to Hollywood. That's a lot of couples but ya know what, it's amazing you all get along so well. It could be the other way - someone refusing to attend. Have fun and enjoy it!

We had the wedding. Everything went smoothly. Everyone had a wonderful time and the food and beer didn't run out. There was a bottle of wine on each table. My wife wanted me to get a couple special bottles for our table. When I went to get them, I bought a cork screw because the one I had got lost. Good thing, because I had the only cork screw in the whole place. Everyone was wondering how they were supposed to open their wine, and when word got around that I had one, everyone was lined up at our table to get their wine opened! As a result, I was about last in the food line, but it was fun. The bride and groom are happy and we're all happy. I might have to borrow some money from THEM to make it till next payday. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ed - you could moonlight as a bartender! Glad the wedding went so well. Are you all just exhausted today?

How did the balloon idea go?

It was raining and the kids wanted the balloons. No balloon release. We pulled down the balloons that we could reach, but some of them had really short ribbons on them and we couldn't get them down, even standing on a chair. I got a long stick and taped a pin on the end. I reached up there and popped 'em. It made quick work of them.
