Thank you for reporting back, Mary! I've been waiting for you to appear all day!  I'm looking forward to my sister's wedding next Saturday even more now. |

Please don't sneer - it had to be an extract Mary, we don't generally sneer here!  Who cares? With a wedding, you can break all sorts of rules. It's not the Breakfast Show, after all.  |

...and with the Chopin, everyone might have been relieved it wasn't the whole thing...
Sounds like a lovely day, thank you for posting about it!
Weddings are very very strange but it's always wonderful when they turn out well.

Mary, 'huzzah' for the success of the Wedding Day! It sounds lovely and just as it should be. Complete with boo-boos (they're traditional) Now, get some sleep, eh?  |

A busy time for Members' families' weddings, my cousin had hers in Vegas of late. Having played the organ for quite a few weddings (with varying degrees of success  ), humour is always good in a wedding. Often the atmosphere is very tense. I'm glad you had fully live music too, even if they were from the place that didn't let me in! . There is a growing trend of people playing along to a CD. boo-boos (they're traditional) Now, get some sleep, eh? I think I need sleep too, I read that as "bonobos" at first  I'm also happy because I seem to have mastered the art of the overburn, finally. |

Mary, it sounds just wonderful. Thank you for the description. I was watching the weather here all day wondering how you were all faring. Very glad the rain held off and delighted to hear it all went so well.

Did any folksy music find its way into the celebrations? I'm very happy it went without any hiccoughs.
Eru, some of the most embarrassing/awkward moments in my life have been spent astride an organ. Worst was probably a wedding where there were no mikes in the balcony area, so I was all alone, and had no idea where to come in for the various parts of the mass...

Thanks. I'll be holding my mum's hand, since my dad will be otherwise occupied in giving away the bride. Aaaaah can't edit posts to fix typos on phone. Mike should read mic. If I were you I'd have been more worried about fixing the "moments spent astride an organ". PS A mass? At a wedding??? |

Not a mass at a wedding, but I think, at a catholic wedding in any event, there are often many mass parts included. By part I mean the various occasion for hymns (kyries, music at various intervals, and the like). I'm not crazy, am I?
And that alternative reading of the organ passage was entirely unintended (I didn't notice it until now, whereupon, modesty aside, I laughed rather heartily).

We give birth astride an organ, then we die a little death?

The wedding sounded lovely Mary and I'm so glad you enjoyed it after all your worry and stress beforehand. It is lovely having a daughter-in-law - I've still got one out of two! |

Nuptial mass? I've been to a few weddings that have incorporated a mass into the wedding service. The idea is that it's the couple's first communion as 'one flesh' before they become 'one flesh' I think. |
