The wedding went off like clockwork. There were about 70-75 people there. Our sanctuary holds 64 so we put up some folding chairs. Some guests were relatives of the groom but many were friends of the bride. Karan has a lot of friends. But everything went fine. Howard, the Methodist minister and I did the ceremony. One son of the bride was there. Her other son and daughter could not make it. All three children of the groom were there.
There was a huge meal afterward. The guests all brought a dish and all had plenty to eat. There were three cakes. When I get some pictures, I'll post one of them.
Tomorrow now, we have the baptismal service and another basket dinner afterward. Then we will need to clean up after that service. Our daughter and son-in-law are going to the church this evening to check the water level of the baptistery and decorate for tomorrow's service. They will move the pulpit back and put the communion table where it belongs and put the offering table back in it's place. They will decorate for the eight year old boy, Jon, who is being baptized. He will later receive a certificate of baptism from the church. He will be confirmed following the service.
