Good evening! Back from the wedding & I can tell you the Episcopal church does NOT do short weddings! They had a full mass, 2 special music numbers, plus all the vows for the bride & groom. It was a little over an hour long. Reception was nice, but no adult beverages & they ran out or was very short on food before it was over. They had platters of small sandwiches & fruit and I guess the people who were first in line took quite a bit. Luckily they had saved food for the bride & groom so they had food after the pictures were taken. They did have plenty of cake so nobody complained about that Lol. The bride had asked me a couple weeks ago if I would cut the grooms cake for her & I said I would. She made it sound like it was going to be a sheet cake, it wasn't, the thing was about 12" round & 6" high! Luckily the man who was cutting the wedding cake for her helped give me some pointers on how to cut it & we had people helping to serve the cake so it worked out fine.I stayed after the reception was over & helped put up the extra tables & chairs and got the parish hall set up for coffee hour after Mass tomorrow. Our parish hall isn't really big but I think there were 75-100 people there for the reception. Now I'm ready for an adult beverage & a piece of the wedding cake I brought home. Catch up with you all tomorrow!
