The wedding went beautifully, without a hitch, and we got Rod and Janet married!! I'm a bit peeved with her sisters, brother and nieces, though. After all we went through on Friday, getting the decorating done, they were supposed to stay and help clean up the church annex after the reception. Did they? No. All of the clean up, the packing up of the gifts, doing the dishes, etc. fell to Sharon (the other co-matron), Debbie (who is Sharon's sister-in-law and the woman who made all of the bouquets, etc.) and Gerry and me. It felt like it took forever and we were beat. Then Sharon, Gerry and I drove the 45 minutes back to Topeka and unloaded all of the wedding gifts at Janet's apartment. Unfortunately, when we cleaned the church, we missed the candle lighter wands (I don't know how that happened, since both Gerry and I checked the church), so Sharon had to drive all the way back to Harveyville that evening and retrieve those. -- Piggy's Pad

I don't know if Sharon made it back to Topeka the second time to get the candleabra and wands returned to Hobby Lobby. We were supposed to join the bride and groom at Harrah's for dinner and some gambling but we were so tired. My ankle had long ago gone on strike and Gerry's legs were killing him after doing all of the steps at the church, annex and then unloading the gifts at Janet's apartment. So we went to Cracker Barrel for a quick dinner and then came home and collapsed. I didn't get out of bed until almost 11 today and I think Gerry got up about 9. We're both still very tired and achey but........all in all.......we got them married and that's what counted. Now........to recover!! (NT) -- sANDY, 1:33:33 pm, Sun, 09/09/07
Gees..you guys have got to be totally exhausted after all the running around the past couple of days and then to have to do all the clean-up too!!!
Tell Gerry I said he took the wrong week off...he should have taken tomorrow instead to give him (and you too) one more day to rest up!!! (NT) -- Kate, 7:01:35 pm, Sun, 09/09/07
Sandy, that is great that the wedding went off without a hitch!!
What a darn shame that Janet's family didn't hold up their end of the deal and help with the clean-up...but isn't that always the way!! (NT) -- Kate, 6:59:20 pm, Sun, 09/09/07
Glad everything went well. You have any pictures you can share? (NT) -- Ramona, 12:48:39 pm, Tue, 09/11/07
