So the wedding rehearsal was this evening. It went well. They were happy with the music and Deanna and I got the chance to work out any spots that might give us trouble... and now we know that we will only need little tiny bits of certain songs, so good for us! The couple is wonderful, mostly relaxed about everything and funny and obviously having fun with everything. The venue is nice and they have a reasonably nice Kawai baby grand. All is well.
Afterwards, they invited us and everyone else to the groom's parents house for a rehearsal dinner/mingling and eating type thing. Deanna had mentioned that it would probably be Italian food, but I didn't realise that we were going to the house of Italy's representative in Canada... It was THAT much Italian.... He holds the Order of Italy (similar to Order of Canada... but from Italy). He and his wife we so cute. She made SO much food. There was everything that is delicious:
Bruscetta, Spanakopita, Oriental Party Pack, cheese, shrimp ring, mini quiche, potatoe wedges, chips and dip, pizza, sandwhich wrap slicey thingies, desserts, wow! pure deliciousness!!
The family was also delightful, which was helpful in making us not feel awkward for not being related, nevertheless we are university students... quite willing to put up with a little awkwardness if it means free food.
Anyway, I was truly impressed with the wonderful hospitality shown to us... really the father was the man who was nicely harrassing us for not taking advantage of the large table of liquor when we first walked through the door (I had diet coke, Deanna had coke). I would love to adopt myself into their family... but I don't think that will quite work out that way....
