Craaaazy wedding

Today we went to Julie's cousin's wedding. It was actually a really good wedding. It was just funny from start to finish.

It took the mothers about 5 minutes to light the unity candles as their little BBQ lighters weren't lighting. They just stood up at the front of the church, frantically clicking away until someone found them a book of matches.

Then the groom came trotting down the stairs to grab the bride before she had been given away by her father.

Dan (Julie's brother) was officiating the ceremony. When he was getting them to say their vows, he said, "Daryl, repeat after me. Yvonne, I take you to be my lawfully wedded husband..."

The look on his face when he realized he'd goofed up the gender was almost a good as the gales of laughter.

The rest of the ceremony went smoothly and was over in 20 minutes (yay).

Then we went to the reception, which was at the Sarnia Yacht Club. I had a nice view of the lake and was watching the storm come rolling in when suddenly the screen popped out of the window I was beside and landed on my head. Of course, this got everyone laughing again.

Sigh. Crazy night.

Unfortunately, the DJ they had sucked. When the DJ doesn't know who Outkast is and seems to just be playing a lot of those Jive Bunny hits o' the 50's remixes with just a hint of country, you need to worry. Ah well.

Of course, that was all made the more palatable by the two best words in the English language: "Open Bar". :)
