I Went to a Wedding this Weekend

It was the daughter of my friends Rob and Norine Nadeau. It felt pretty weird because I can remember going to their wedding, and it sure did not feel that long ago. The wedding was at the Assumption Catholic Church, and what I really liked about it, was that the Natalie and Mike (bride and groom) sat facing us, instead of sitting with their backs to us. There was an uneven number of people in the bridal party, maid of honour, best man, 1 groomsman and 2 bridesmaids, so the groomsman was escorted by the, the two bridesmaids. When Rob and Norine walked Natalie down the aisle, Rob kept stepping on Natalie's train, and you could hear Natalie saying DAAAD, everyone laughed,it was a very Nadeau moment. I realized yesterday that I have known Norine for just about 35 years.

The reception was held at a conference centre, that is attached to an Indian restaurant, dinner was delicious and very international, there was roast beef and potatoes, pyrogies, butter chicken and naan bread, spring rolls. Vicky and I went as each others date, since Dick was gone hunting. During the slide show, I felt a little choked up seeing how young Rob and Norine looked, when Natalie was born, it brought back some really lovely memories. When people were coming in and signing the guest book, they had each group sign on a single page and then took pictures of the group to be posted in the book once developed. A very nice idea.

I went to get my hair cut yesterday morning I was sitting in the salon, when all of a sudden all the power went out. Nadine (my hairdresser extrodinaire) said she had been outside, and heard a couple of loaud bangs, so we were thinking that there was an accident, and something hit a power pole. I am lucky I don't need my hair dried, but there was also a wedding party in the salon, about 7 people, so that was a bit stressful for them. I still have to go back and pay, cause I did not have any cash and of course their cash register was not working.
