The Big Event

The best man and his mom flew into Indianapolis on Thursday. The groom, went and picked them up and we spent an enjoyable afternoon just visiting and getting to know them. They fit right in to our crazy family. Friday involved a lot of running around, for everyone, flowers had to be picked up, cakes had to be picked up, the bride and maid of honor went for some pampering - they had manicures and pedicures, we even talked my mom into having a manicure. Things seemed to be going along smoothly until they started setting up the chairs and tables under the tent. I was gone when it started but by the time I was back the bride and groom were in the middle of verbal war. I went in mom and dad's and pretty soon here came my sister, the bride, she was as mad as I had ever seen her. Apparently, her beloved, had called her a not very nice name and she was ready to call things off. OY! Soon they were talking though and apparently got everything resolved because they ended up married on Saturday.

I got up at 4:30 Saturday to take a shower and do my hair because I had to take my neices, who were a bridesmaid and jr bridesmaid, to Bloomington to get their hair done. The first appt was at 6:30 and we got out of there about 9:00. They were supposed to be at mom and dad's by 9:30, we made it with 1 minute to spare. I might of broken the speed limit a couple of times. Anyway, at 10:30, most everyone was seated and the ceremony began. The guests looked a bit surprised when an old but beautiful restored Ford truck pulled up, but they soon saw that it was the arrival of the bride. My dad helped her out and walked her down the aisle. Now I had told myself I wouldn't cry but when they started saying their vows the groom had tears rolling down his face and there was just such a look of love in his eyes that everyone was soon crying with him.

After the ceremony, everyone went to eat under the tent. Those poor caterers, it was so hot and they were standing over that hot food. I didn't even get to have any of the food because I had to help do the cake and punch. The icing was starting to melt so we had to have the bride and groom leave their lunch and come cut the cake. Then their was dancing, I did enjoy that though it would have been nice to have had one slow dance. The fast dances were a lot of fun, it sure was hot though. My sister (bride) and dad danced to 'My Little Girl' by Tim McGraw. More tears.

But anyway, its all over now and they are Dr. and Mrs. D. Sobransingh. It was a beautiful wedding and God gave them a beautiful day for it.
