Get me to the Church on time

"I’ve been having dreams and visions
In them you are always standing
Right beside me
I reach out for your hand
To see your arms extending
Outstretched towards me

To you I give my pledge
I honor all that’s good
In this life we’re living
To think not only of myself
But of the greater union ..."

Wedding Song, Tracy Chapman

On Saturday I attended my first wedding of 2006. I was helping out as commentator as well as part of the make-shift choir. The venue, Sacred Heart church along Clemenceau Ave, was well-dressed for the occasion with Christmas Decos still up and plenty of spotlights keeping the interior well-lit.

As the church bells rang, Carol in her resplendent gown walked down the aisle to the beat of the Wedding March; while waiting at end of the strip was her charming prince, Edwin.

Fortunately for us, the three friends, who were helping out with the service, everything went smoothly without much noticeable glitches. Heh heh, but doesn’t mean I will willingly swap a place on the wooden pews for a spot on the commentator’s lectern anytime soon.
