Some of you have seen me shamelessly gushing about the wedding I was at last weekend. This post is not totally about the wedding, but about their photographer, Dan Robinson - and his wife. Some of my favourite selections have been put into a photo album. He captures the beauty and fun of the day, as you will see when you click on the picture below (don't forget the comments Lucy! p: ).

Dan and Michelle: Married

Saturday was the most lovely and warm day (relatively speaking) we have had here in two weeks! It was fabulous for an outdoor wedding!

I was utterly impressed with the ownership the young people took of this whole project. Most of them were between the ages of 21 and 25. To think that this new couple is surrounded by such amazing and hard-working friends. Click on the above picture for more in the photo album. We all had a great time and the newlyweds are now honeymooning in the Caribbean somewhere... :heart:

...Gonna Get Married....

Yesterday I took the day off work to help with the preparations for my co-worker's wedding.
It rained all day.

She is having an outdoor wedding in Canada in October. They had a big portable heater running most of the time we were there to keep the big reception tent warm and the ground fairly dry (the tent was put up the day before when it wasn't raining, thankfully). A group of us put up a couple of smaller shelters for the catering company.

My job, of course, was running the audio/video (she had me booked before he proposed!). Where it was set up in the reception tent, it was leaking a bit. I had towels or cardboard over the amp and video projector. Being that this wedding was on a farm, I wore my best farm attire - including rubber boots!!


I had been watching daily updates on The Weather Network website the past few days. Today and tomorrow are the two sunniest, warmest days (relatively speaking) of the previous and next weeks. Clouds breaking up and sun on the way for this day! Yay; PTL!

MacBook & Love

My co-worker, Michelle, is getting married two weeks from today. It seems like every day they are finding new ways of expressing love to each other. The following screen capture is one of the ultimate love postings I've seen from her on Facebook. :heart:

I did the audio and video for our Youth Pastor's wedding in February. I choked up and got all weepy, but I made it. This co-worker and her fiancé just totally bless my heart - their relationship is SO romantic. When I do the audio and video for their wedding, I just don't know if I'm going to crack into a big ball of mush....... :cry::cry::cry::cry:

Hand made with love..

I've posted on this blog before about my co-worker who is a joy to be around. Her beau proposed with a Lite-Brite back in May; the same kind of thing he used when he first asked her to be his girlfriend - isn't that romantic? *sigh*

She got this idea in her head about how she wanted to do her wedding invitations - except that it meant each invitation was to be hand made in multiple steps and layers. All 200 of them. So she organized her friends after work and on a few weekends with "invitation parties" to make an assembly line of cutting, gluing, stamping and bow-tying. They are too cute not to show off. The flower is centered on the day of the wedding.
(the names are smudged out in the unlikely event that those who weren't invited don't feel slighted - it wasn't anything personal, I probably wouldn't be invited either if I wasn't doing sound; just too small a venue for the reception..)

…Gonna Get Married…

Sunday, 8. February 2009, 04:35:36

Well, it’s all done. Matt and Erika are now officially Mr. & Mrs. Warmington. Although it was a simple wedding and reception in the church, it suited them and literally everyone was so happy to be a part of that. My happiness was not without tribulation, however..

Flashback to this morning. The worship team rehearsal is wrapping up just after 10am. No sign of the PowerPoint with the additional scripture texts and songs to be sung. The wedding is scheduled to start in less than 2 hours. I ask our receptionist if she’s seen the pastor so I could ask where this file is.

“Why?” she replies, “It’s already done and on the balcony computer. Didn’t anyone tell you?”

:eyes: :irked: “No. No one said anything,” I say, “But I need that to put it together with the stuff I worked on last night!” :faint: The techie go-to ninja springs into action yet again. :ninja:

I find the file and begin cutting and pasting the two PowerPoints together according to the service outline. :chef: I do a quick run-through on the projector to ensure pictures, fonts and backgrounds come up clearly. Font shadows are improperly applied (yet again :faint:). Fix that up (yet again :chef: :chef:). It’s after 11am and people are beginning to come in. The groom is walking around the sanctuary and I gently admonish him he has to get out so I can test things without him seeing them.

Quick run-through of text slides. Seems to work and look good. Double check the imported slide/sound clips from the maid of honour. The first few slides hang up on the audio clips. :yikes: :faint:
I try one more thing that may fix the glitch, but it’s 11:35am and too late to do another run-through.

“Oh God,” I pray, “Please don’t let there be technical glitches for the wedding couple today.”

The whole service and PowerPoint run flawlessly. I get all weepy when the bride walks down the aisle and when the montage video runs to a lovely piano rendition of the song “Somewhere, Out There”.awww God is faithful and I am very happy. :angel: :yes:

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. p:

Pictures of the happy event will be hopefully forthcoming before the end of the weekend.
