Random quotes from the wedding
Jun. 29th, 2010 11:31 pmNo, there is no logic to the following bits of conversations. Just snippets from a few wonderful days in Toronto. Neat, seeing people we hadn't seen in a long, long time, and seeing Sarah so happy. As it turned out, at our table our family (that of youngest Brother of the Bride) was the one that travelled the least distance for the wedding: Father of the Bride (and spouse) flew in from Calgary, next oldest BoB (and significant other) travelled from Philadelphia, next oldest BoB flew in from Vancouver, and eldest BoB (and spouse) came in from Singapore. It had been a long, long time since all the brothers had been together. Not since the summer of 1997, in fact, when their grandmother passed away. This was a somewhat happier occasion :)
James/Chris: (sadly, I don't even remember the story this was part of)
...well it was a typical Protestant sermon, you know: Oh Lord, we are depressed and dour,
We beseech Thee in our drab clothing,
We offer our boredom unto Thee.
Minister: This [rehearsal] isn't so that everything will go perfectly tomorrow, because that's not what it's all about. It's so that everyone will know what they're doing, so they don't have to worry about getting it right, and can just be happy for the bride and groom, and enjoy the day with them.
Justin: (to Chris, as he put on his kilt) Wait - shouldn't you be taking off your undies too?
Sarah: (Pre-riots, obviously) You know, I thought it would be such a pain, the G20 going on at the same time as all this, but with all the businesses that are closed, after driving down all these streets that are totally empty - I'm kinda starting with wish they'd hold the G20 here every weekend! This is great!
Me: I wonder if anyone's ever made banana-flavoured coffee?
Chris: Ugh.
Me: Hey, that's what they said about vanilla-flavoured coffee. And orange-flavoured coffee. And tuna fish coffee. Mind you, they were right about the tuna fish.
Colin (AKA the groom): So then we had the pleasure of arranging all of this. And then, thanks to the G20, we had the pleasure of doing it twice.
Joe: You know, Manchester: the land that Fun forgot.
Chris: So, there's Colin, a brave man, who is marrying a girl with four older brothers.
Minister: It was many months ago that Sarah and Colin decided to hold their wedding this weekend in Toronto... and then a few months later the leaders of the world decided to come crash their party. So we had to build Fortress Toronto to keep them out of the wedding.
Colin's sister: If you cry, Colin will throw cheese at you.
Many, many wedding guests, while doing a can-can, to the tune of the Battle Hymn of the Republic:
Oil thigh na Banrighinn a'Banrighinn gu brath!
Oil thigh na Banrighinn a'Banrighinn gu brath!
Oil thigh na Banrighinn a'Banrighinn gu brath!
Cha-gheill! Cha-gheill! Cha-gheill!
