As they are preparing, all the tables are sit up with care, the food tables are arranged to have the food put out and waiting for the end of the wedding when Carol says to Terri, something to the effect of "she was thirsty". Terri says she told her there was water fountains, and when Carol pushed the issue, I guess saying things like - "But WHAT is there to drink". Terri said she just kept thinking why was Carol doing this - we are ALMOST ready to walk down the aisle. Terri told Carol there was vending machines, she could go get her something. But still Carol pushed the issue, until it suddenly dawned on Terri, what are the GUESTS going to drink - and the lights come on - OH NO - NO, IT CAN'T BE!!! Terri was supposed to bring the punch and drinks and "jugs" or items to have them in.
Terri says at this point, being beyond mortified at this, Carol says, it's okay, it's fine, let just figure out what we are going to do now.... Terri makes a frantic phone call to her father-in-law, saying you're a man, you worked at the schools, you are a problem solver, HELP!! He handed the phone to his wife!
Poor Marty, not knowing what to do, offers to bring Kool Aide, Terri say YES - BUT HURRY. Carol knows there are big thermos coolers somewhere, so as the time arrives for the wedding party to proceed down the aisle, there is a FRANTIC push for drinks!!! Having held up the wedding now for over 10 minutes, the coolers of water and ice are sit on the tables!
And we all proceed!
Marty then comes with the flavorings for the water, hearing applause coming from the auditorium, throws the kool aide on the table and make a RUN for the front door!!
After the kiss and we come back out for the reception, Brady said he made a bee-line for the one container of water and added the kool aide, picking up the spoon sit aside for the lasagna to stir it with!
What memories!!!
Until next time. . .
