Today one of Kendall’s cousins and a friend of mine was getting married and we were asked to sing in their wedding. This was an outdoor wedding done at a nursery in Washington, MO. All in all things went pretty well except for the weather. It was about 49 degrees outside and the wind was blowing like crazy, while a few hundred people piled under this big white tent. Despite the usual cell phones ringing, kids running around every where during the wedding, and the attempt to light candles on a windy day, nothing major happened or went wrong… until we started to sing that is.
First, Kendall and I stood up at the point that we were supposed to sing and as it turns out the pastor (who was Kendall’s uncle) decided to add a Scipture verse and a prayer and so we stood up in front of a bunch of people for awhile which really confused the sound guy. Once that was over and we finally got up to sing, everything was going well. People were smiling, we were doing pretty good, and then suddenly at one part of the song the entire crowd gasped, to which I was thinking “we must have hit a really bad note.” At that moment I looked over my shoulder and actually saw what the crowd was fussing about. During the song a huge gust of wind came through and tipped over a piller which dropped a fern that fell right on top of the bride and groom. What do you do now? Well, we just kept on singing and I tried not to laugh my head off.
Sadly enough, we were the last act and then the ceramony was over… just a few more minutes and they would have made it out without any big problems, but instead ole mother nature (or God with a sense of humor) dropped a potted plant on their heads. Once it was all said and done, I sat down in my seat and thought to myself… did that just happen?
