Are we Jinxed?

I think that people will stop inviting us to outdoor weddings.   The last three outdoor weddings that we have attended have been plagued by rain.  This one was no different.  We have had a whole summer of fabulous weather but on Friday night the skies opened up.  Sleeping in the 5er was pretty noisy and it poured most of the night.

Saturday we headed to Young's Point for the wedding of the daughter of our friends John and Alice Taylor.  The wedding was held at the home of the grooms parent's which is along the shore of Katchewanooka Lake.
  
A beautiful setting if the sun would have shined. Luckily they had a very large wedding tent set up to accommodate the guests and to also hold the ceremony when the rain continued to fall.  Here are Chantelle and her Dad coming down the aisle.  John and Tom have been friends since they were wee boys in school.

Here is a picture of John, Alice and Alice's 85 year old Mom Tonny
The wind was blowing off the water, the tent was flapping and everyone was pretty chilly.  But the bride and groom didn't appear to notice anything other than each other.  Chantelle works with mentally and physically challenged  children and Joe is  police officer.  Both demanding careers.  


The wind did calm down and the rain eventually stopped.  Everyone headed to their cars to grab jackets and sweaters to keep warm as the day progressed.  After the wedding party returned from the photo ops a lovely dinner was served  and a dance followed.

  We sat with some other old friends, Claire and Sharon Fitzgerald as well as Barry and Shari Ray.  Claire and Barry are men that Tom worked with years ago at Victoria Grey Trust.  As well as being a childhood friend John Taylor also worked there.  Victoria Grey amalgamated with National Trust in 1984 and National Trust was later bought out by Scotiabank in 1997.  John and Barry are still there, working  for Scotiabank.  Claire is retired and living the good life.  

After we left the wedding party we headed to Bridgenorth to spend the night at Tom's sister Bev's.  She fed us a big breakfast this morning and we drove back to the park.  We only have one more weekend at the park before we take Tara to storage for the winter.   I guess the summer is pretty much over whether I like it or not.

Until next time - safe travels.

  1. Instead of storing the trailer for the winter it might be a better idea just to head south. You can leave before Christmas or after (like we're doing for the first time) but it will feel like summer just got longer. Be Safe and Enjoy!

    It's about time.
