My Sister's Wedding (Krioma.net Blog)

Yesterday was my little (well 19 year old) sister's wedding. It was a glorious day. The wedding took place at Aston Parish Church at 4pm. This caused a few problems for us to get there. I was an usher and so had to be there early so that stuff could get sorted. Two problems. Aston Villa where playing at home and the photographer wasn't to turn up till 2:30pm. Fortunately we only had a short delay in getting to this wonderful venue. It was truly glorious. There were not many hiccups, one of them was that the organisation at the Church was not good. Me and Lee, the other usher, had to go to great lengths to make sure that keyboardist knew that Melissa was about to walk down the isle and then he was not very good.

The service was beautiful as usual Chris (Revd. Feak even) did a great job. At some point during the service I had to get up a do a reading, one that I think is quite nice. As I said yesterday "The reading is taken from Corinthians 1, Chapter 13, starting at the first verse:"

"Love

I may be able to speak the languages of men and even of angels, but if i have no love, my speech is no more than a noisy gong or clanging bell. I may have the gift of inspired preaching; I may have all knowledge and understand all secrets; I may have all faith needed to move mountains - but if I have no love, I am nothing. I may give away everything I have, and even give up my body to be burnt - but if I have no love, this does me no good.

Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud; love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrongs; love is not happy with evil; but is happy with the truth. Love never gives up; and its faith, hope, and patience never fail.

Love is eternal. There are inspired messages, but they are temporary; there are gifts of speaking in strange tongues, but they will cease; there is knowledge, but it will pass. For our gifts of knowledge and of inspired messages are only partial; but when what is prefect comes, then what is partial will disappear."

Leaving the Church lots and lots of photos were taken, I was not pleased with the photographers attitude. I then spoke to some family members and friends. We got driven to the reception in a Rolls-Royce, which was rather nice.

The reception was great, apart from the lack of marked vegetarian food, stupid catering not marking the food. I think I ate meat and I am not pleased. Apart from that I go to chat to some old friends and family members that I haven't spoken to in a very very long time. It was nice. We danced around for a bit, which was fun. Especially when me and Michael (the best man) made complete idiots out of ourselves by dancing to "american idiot" by Greenday with everyone watching wondering what the heck we were doing!

All the speeches went well. Dad came across nervous but he delivered it well which is what really matters. I was even able to get him a drink without him moaning! shocking. I don't like the way this could develop though, eventually I will be buying my fair share of drinks! ;-).

It was a very enjoyable night and the balloons were let out to fly, probably interfering with the air traffic to Birmingham International (the flight path goes overhead!)
