We went to a family wedding last weekend in Milwaukee in the USA. It is only an hour and a half flight from Toronto so we were happy about that.
My nephew married his gorgeous bride and it was a wonderful reunion of family and friends. They were married by one of the bride's girlfriends who had specially taken a course so that she could be ordained to marry the couple. It was a modern ceremony organized by the young people. My nephew and his bride wrote their own wedding vows (sniff). Apparently they weren't allowed to let each other read these vows prior to the ceremony although the minister checked them beforehand.
It was VERY hot that day, and the ceremony was held atop the roof with a view, which was covered with a tarp for shade. Fortunately, it was air-conditioned downstairs in the banquet hall. Would you believe the groom's grandmother fainted minutes before the ceremony was scheduled to start. She was taken away to the hospital and will be fine, it appears it was heatstroke. She is more embarrassed than anything. This delayed the ceremony by half an hour but it was beautiful and everything went perfectly after that.
