Going to the Chapel...

I love weddings. On the other hand, it’s frustrating sometimes being our church’s techie go-to ninja. Everyone else has gone home over 2.5 hours ago. The maid of honour brought a PowerPoint of her speech. It’s the kind of “surprise” that happens every time an important event comes up. I’ve been fixing up pictures, ensuring sound clips work when they’re supposed to, testing and retesting the file and video segments to ensure there are no hiccups on the Big Day. The service is set to begin in just over 12 hours from the time this post is up. I’m not a perfectionist. It just has to be done as good as we can do, that’s all.... It’s not every day the Youth Pastor gets married.
Oh yeah: there is to be a worship practice tomorrow morning for Sunday’s service. Thankfully, I’m not doing that too.
For the wedding; the PowerPoint files including a couple of songs, scriptures, message introduction and a slide for the introduction of the married couple are not done yet. I suspect the pastor will be bringing it in the morning. This has to happen and be tested before 11am. I expect to be back early in the morning to ensure it get’s done. I'm sure something else will come up in the morning to test my skills and the limits of our equipment.
I guess having these tech things to consider and know how to resolve them quickly is what keeps my edge sharp. In going over the presentations yet again, it almost brings me to tears to consider the joy of these two young people beginning their lives together. There is no way I could get married; I’m already married to my responsibilities at my local church.
Pictures of the happy event will be hopefully forthcoming before the end of the weekend.
