It's a nice day for a, white wedding

Well, I reckon it's time to relax!
Ben and Stacie's wedding was last weekend and it was great! Tiring on my part, but great all the same. I will recount my weekend for you as I saw it.
Friday i had work till 5:30. After that walked up to church for JBS. Halfway through JBS got the signal and went over for the wedding rehearsal. We did our bit (the guys) and then it was time for Ben to teach the girls how to walk down the aisle in time with the music stepping on the right beat etc. It was pretty fun. Totally worth it, because on the day they were all good.
After that we went out for dinner at Latani's and had all sorts of cool mediterranian food I had not previously experienced. To tell the truth it wasn't really my style but interesting and good to try new stuff.
Woke up at 6:00. The guys were coming around at 8:00 to get ready for the wedding but I was too excited etc. to be able to go back to sleep. So, I got a few things ready, go the ties out, ironed my shirt etc. etc. Once I had done those things I treated myself to a little KOTOR II till the guys turned up.
Ben, Nelson and Aaron all turned up together and they has some rather Gucci breakfast with them. It included coffee's, juice, and the largest assorment of bakery goods I had ever seen (outside a bakery itself that is). After the breakfast we got changed and Ben's dad turned up and took a couple of photos of him and so on. He left and we sat around for 15 mins listening to music till the car turned up to pick us up. I havent ever seen Pak nervous, but sitting there waiting for the car, you could tell he was quite nervous. The car picked us up and took us there. The dude with the car had those cool flowers to attach to our coats. Nice touch Stace! The trouble was, he was driving an Astra. 3 guys in the back of one is not a comfortable experience.
Well, you know what happened between then and the end of the reception (which was fantastic). I was a bit worried about the speech I had to give, but it seemed to go fine. Ben particularly enjoyed it which was the main point as well.
Got home at 5pm and blobbed in front of the xbox till 7:30. Went to sleep and woke up at 5am. Freezor must have taken up residence in my room coz it was mighty cold. So I went back to sleep and woke up at 9. Mmmmm, totally good sleep.
Sunday, Tim and Jon came over and we met up. It was cool. Wish it was every week.
We read Chapters 5-7 of 1 Samuel. Pretty good. It's starting to get to the good stuff (or, the even better stuff).
JBS and church at night. Pretty standard stuff.
Upcoming events: TEAM bible study leading tonight, gym and maybe bob. BS on Tuesday with the One-to-One ministry bible study. Should be good. Wednesday is unimovies, but I cant remember it being earth shattering. Friday afternoon, going to the thing in Sydney, should be good. After that, the bible study boys and a ring in or 2 are coming over for an old school Lord's Supper. Should be awesome. Getting some Damper rolls (or maybe unleavened bread), couple of bottles of red and a solid size BBQ. Should be a good night.
