The beginning of Autumn is always a busy time for weddings and that has been the case in 2010. the last two weekends in September 2010 were particularly fun and noteworthy. September 18 was a date to remember. I participated in four weddings personally on one day. I started the day officiating a wedding on Center Hill Lake. As I arrived, not having met the couple in person, I was intrigued to see a guest arrive dressed from head to toe....wait for it...in a duck costume. White fur, yellow beak, tail and with a lovely human woman on his arm. The groom had bemoaned the fact that the bride would not allow him to see her dress before the wedding. He threatened to wear...are you there yet?.....a duck costume. So, when the pre-wedding photos were about to begin the bride was greeted by our duck. After a few minutes, the real groom appeared.
The next wedding was much more conventional and traditional and it went off at Belmont Mansion without a hitch. The third wedding was a lovely affair at an outdoor venue in Williamson County. The only thing out of the ordinary was the Secret-Service-looking security agent monitoring the festivities. The groom plays in the band of a famous country singer who needs a little protection out in public.
My last wedding of the night started late and ended on a somewhat Las Vegas note. The DJ/entertainer was...wait for it...an Elvis impersonator, white jump suit and all!
There is NEVER a dull moment when you work as a wedding minister/planner!
