The wedding rapidly approaches
My involvement in preparations for my sister's wedding has been minimal. I designed the invitations in early October and as described in my saga, had bought my suit in September. On Friday, I bought a tie which apparently matches the colour of the senior bridesmaids' dresses, so I now have my complete outfit for the occasion. Due to the steriods I'm on, I've put on some weight since I bought the suit so I tried it on on Saturday and fortunately it does still fit!
I had been anticipating that by now we would all be busy with wedding preparations, but being the other side of the Thames in Kent, Ellen and Ben have done the vast majority of the work themselves with assistance from Ben's mum. Last Saturday, they held the dress rehearsal. Heather is going to be a bridesmaid, and Graham will be playing the piano during the service and then keys with his band in the evening. Francis (Ben's sister) and I will be ushers, so I wasn't needed for the rehearsal and stayed behind to look after Morphy.
Ellen gave me the list of names this evening and I have now printed name cards for the place settings, so I have nothing to do now until the big day, which is Saturday.
