Wedding whispers

Weddings are an interesting thing. Fun to go to, an utter chore at times, and an interesting event to learn about people’s expectations behind the scenes. If the ceremony is too early, people complain about the wait time before the reception starts. If groups are coming from out of town and the same town, they expect a bus to pick them up and take them back; if it ain’t there, expect to hear complaining. What happens if table seating is not what would be expected? Trouble. I’ve been to three weddings in the last two months and what’s said behind the scenes is always a learning experience. And in Australian summer heat that’s being increased by neighbouring bushfires, wearing a suit can be a sadistic type of torture. Someone call for shots.
