I'll be in a wedding this weekend cutting some rugs and "gaming" the bar
GrizzlyDevil, if you get a chance to see this, and If you don't mind, may I offer some advice, here. Most people don't care for my help and if I were them I wouldn't want it either because most of it's based on irreversible failure, but you be the judge.
A long time ago I went to a wedding. Somebody had to have forked over a bunch of money because it was the elaborate kind with lots of frills and pomp and people.
The evening before the wedding there was a bachelor party which must have went on all night. One of the groomsmen/ushers was a guy who was very reserved. He rarely talked or even smiled, and when he did he spoke so low it was hard to hear him. He wakes up on the floor the next day around noon and realizes the wedding is a 2 PM, and is in a mad rush to get dressed and get to the church, but he makes it.
As part of the wedding, and after everyone was seated, each of the groomsmen were to walk down front, take a long candlestick and light a candle that was in a candelabra that held several candles.
When it was his turn he walked down, took the candlestick, and tried to light his candle, but had the shakes so badly from being drunk the night before that he couldn't get it done. The woman directing the wedding had to come down front to hold his hands and help him light the candle.
Knowing you went to a fine military college I just wondered if this is a classmate getting married. If so, isn't it customary for the couple to walk under an arch created by raised swords formed by honor guardsmen ?
If it's that kind of wedding and it's scheduled for early afternoon, you might want to tell the fellers to close the bar a little early the night before. Just seems like the raised swords might create kind of a shaky situation (no pun). Just trying to help, and with a difficult job like you have I'm happy you're getting to go to something pleasurable.
