Pre-Wedding: Rehearsal

We very much required a rehearsal the evening before the wedding. All of our AV equipment had to be tested and the musical acts (some who had never before all played together) needed to give it a go.

So it was a very happy scene when I arrived at 4:00 in the rain to find all our great family and friends bustling about the club and instruments warming up. Just like something out of an old musical! In between hugs and greetings, I spent some time transferring the “binder” to Jill (a friend who was amazing as our day-of-coordinator).

The ceremony rehearsal was held inside by the fireplace due to the weather. There was a real danger that the out-of-season rain wouldn’t stop for the wedding the next day, so we needed to be prepared. Plan B involved pushing back the tables, making most guests stand and lighting lots of candles. The trial hand-off went smoothly and my tissue paper bouquet held up just fine.
