Russ and Heidi's Wedding
I'm just about to hop onto a jet plane to fly back to London, but I thought I'd post these pics from Russel and Heidi's wedding. It was an extremely convivial affair at a Bible Camp alongside Sylvan Lake. I was the MC and was way too busy having fun to take many pictures.
We arrived on Friday night, chatted with friends, roasted some hot dogs around the fire and went to bed just as a fantastic huge thunderstorm hit. There were about 150 people at the wedding. We shared a cabin with two other couples that we knew from the old treeplanting days and three kids who belonged to one of the other couples.
The wedding was on Saturday morning in a gorgeous grassy field. The weather was perfect. Then there was lunch. Then canoeing on the lake, and volleyball, and badminton and bocce and croquet and many kids running around and cute teenage boy cousins flirting with cute teenage girl cousins and old farmer uncles laughing with old farmer aunts and just life at its most comfortable and vivid.
And then there was dinner and my debut as an MC which wasn't particularly auspicious but also not a complete catastrophe. And then I had too much to drink and danced like a loon and dropped not one, but two of the female guests on the ground. Whoops. Fortunately, neither of them seemed permanently damaged. And then there was bed and then the hangover and then the cleanup and then the farewells and the long drive back to Vicki's parents.
All weddings should be at least three days long, I've decided.
