Our last wedding of the day was Marcy and Kenny's. I loved the dynamics between these two! Marcy can get stressed out and worried about the details and Kenny calms her down. This was apparent at the rehearsal and we worked through the logistics of a large wedding party, etc. But none of us knew it the worried v. calm dynamics would be tested again on the wedding day!

Things had gone great all day long! Marcy got ready on time, girls had their pictures made, guys had their pictures made ... THEN ... it was time to start lining up (or at least make sure we had everyone to line up). I made my normal rounds - gave the guys a 15 minute warning, made sure the bestman had the ring (he did) and then went up to the bride's room to give them their warning, made sure the maid of honor had the ring (she did not). Marcy very calmly said "my dad has Kenny's ring." I immediately became a little nervous. Father's of the Bride (FoB) are usually not in a stable frame of mind 15 minute before their daughter's wedding. And I hate to see the sweet FoB's face when he doesn't know what I'm talking about or doesn't have what I'm talking about, which means I'm nervous to ask them questions most of the time. I've seen the blank FoB look a few times. So I carefully pulled Marcy's dad aside and asked him where Kenny's ring was. OH NO ... he gave me the blank face look! He had locked it up in the family safe in his closet at home and completely forgot to bring it. NO PROBLEM! We'll improvise ... use someone else's ring until Kenny gets the real deal. Word got back to Marcy and she would have none of it. She insisted that Kenny use his real wedding ring in the ceremony. That is totally understandable, but now we have just 10 minutes until the wedding. Long story short ... ok, long story even longer ... We consulted Kenny and he quickly tried on the minister, John Cullen's ring and it fit perfectly. He was game to use another ring for the time being. But Marcy just couldn't imagine that! Marcy's uncle went to their home, opened the safe and retrieved the ring. The ceremony started about 30 minutes late (poor guests) but Kenny got to use his real ring. And Kenny was so sweet to Marcy (and her father) about the whole thing! Such a trooper!

Once the ceremony did start it was beautiful! I loved the flow of her ceremony. Marcy's friend read scripture at the beginning, her sister read scripture at the end and a friend sang "Love Never Fails" during the Unity Candle.

The reception was held at the Trammel Crow Center.
