Our youth pastor is getting married tonight at 5:30. Ashley and I were SUPPOSED to be going but.......
Last Sunday at the youth car wash I worked at, the youth pastor asked Ashley and a couple other kids if they would help out at his wedding reception on Friday, doing the food, transporting it to receptions, keeping it filled, etc. They said yes. I stood there thinking, ok, now no Ashley to go to wedding and reception with.....so I told Nate if he needed anymore help, I could help.
So, Wednesday afternoon at 4, he calls. Asks me if I would be in charge of the food for his wedding. To transport it all to the receptions, set it all up, keep it filled, etc. I am thinking OMG, how did it come to this?????? Of course stupid me says.....OK. He then says at 4 on Wednesday that will need to set down and talk to me to let me know what they want done. OK, I had 2 things to do after work, and offered to go to their house later in the evening. He says, we are running here and there, do your kids still nap in the afternoon. Well, umm, yes. Is it ok if we come over between 1 and 2 to talk to you. What choice but to say yes.
So Thursday, she comes over, with a diagram of the set up, tells me what to do, etc. I will be transporting EVERYTHING from church to ice rink where the reception is being held. I figure it will take about 3 trips in the van. There are 4 sheets cakes, several roasters to start with. She said something about taking the wedding cake (they ordered on Tuesday of this week), and I told her I wasn't too keen on transporting that, I didn't want to be responsible for it. But I bet it will be there when I get there.
So , I am leaving work early at 4:30 to start this process. When I offered to help, I had no idea this is what would take place. I really like Nate, but he is a procrastinator, ass backwards kind of guy. I hope 2 hours is enough to do everythihing. OMG Help!
The ladies of the church are making the food at the church, but don't want to transport so they can see wedding.
