the rehearsal sneak peek

7:00 rehearsal.... 7:15...... 7:28 uhmmmm??? We were told to have Maddie at the cabin room before 7, as rehearsal started then, so at 5 to 7 we knock on the door..... for a large group they were awfully quiet.... knock again.... no answer. ok maybe they went down to the rehearsal spot already, so we went to the wedding hall, we were stopped at the door because we didn't look like we should be attending the wedding in progress, so we asked where the rehearsals were held, they gladly sent us on our way to the gazebo, we get to the gazebo, and there is a lonely lady sitting there. She sees me and hopeful asks if we are with the wedding party. I said yes, and then we questioned each other as to where my brother and Anitra were? I phoned Mark, no service, hmmm. The officiary said she was going to leave at 7:30. At 7:28 we told her to hang on, we were going to find them... so up to the front desk to track down any other room numbers, with only first names of the wedding party it wasn't much to go on. Finally we got the phone number of Anitra's mom, called her, she thot it was weird that they weren't there, because she just heard from Anitra wondering where the officiate was?? So she gave me her cell number that Anitra had, and I called it, all I got out was "where are you"... and her cell died... lol talk about a gong show!!! but all was well, because within seconds Anitra came around the corner, to find out why the hotel was calling her, which was me.... but it turned out, the whole wedding party was sitting in the reception waiting for the officiary!so everyone scrambled down to the gazebo... to rehearse for tomorrow. :-)
