William and Diamond got MARRIED

 So today is the day

We got up and was going to walk Gracie but there were two squirrels to be had in the back yard so we just got the place MORE ready for the wedding today.

We went to church.  Violet and Yeye did not go.  Kurt went down to Long Beach to pick up Will and to take the piano down.  We got home and they arrived a few minutes after we did.  Will has an all white suit, with purple pocket hanky and purple tie.  KR wore brown slacks and blue blazer and long sleeve white shirt and tie.  We left a few minutes after 12 and were the first ones there, after Fidel, the best man.  

Yesterday we got a text from Larry that the church can accommodate more people but Kurt did not want to go to church and neither did Mimi.  I would have liked to invite Melissa and Mary Eileen.

Pastor Thrash got things going pretty quick.  There was no music, so we all sang the wedding theme, and Diamond and Larry walked in.  Will and he listened to Pastor's short sermon and then they said their vows, WITH MASKS ON, dang, and then it was outside to the front for pictures.  Larry borrowed a gull wing Tesla.  Retail at 180 000 big ones.

We drove down to the Japanese Tea Garden at Torrance civic center, and took pictures.  They were suppose to close at 3, then they said would close at 2.  We drove home and NO ONE WAS THERE YET.  The rest of the Johnson clan was suppose to bring the food down.  It took them another hour to get down here.  We put the rest of the plates and utensils and the runners for the front walk way and I practiced a little of the wedding recessional music and played when they walked up our house.

THE FOOD  oh man

We had bbq pork ribs, baked ham, hot links, chicken kebobs, potato salad, asparagus, spinach hors d'oeuvres, candy, margaritas, red wine, sparkling cider, assorted sodas, water, coffee, deviled eggs, collar greens, and of course cake. 

They even had first dance, and line dancing and all kinds of fun.  Dad and Violet also came, and Mimi was a hoot.  At the end, we broke down everything and Mimi helped returning the furniture so that when the cleaning crew came, they can do the work.

We were so so exhausted.  I had to change out of my pink outfit, as I ate too much.

We went to bed by 8 30 and I didn't get up once to pee.
