Easter Sunday
After a night of very hard rain that had me out of bed shortly after five o’clock and dealing with the leaky booth, when the cannon sounded the clouds were containing themselves. The remaining rain in the forecast skirted around the fairesite, and in fact, by early afternoon, we were experiencing a truly beautiful day. Unfortunately, the radar and the weathermen scared most folks into staying at home and/or indoors. So, the few patrons who did attend the festival practically had the place to themselves!
The silver lining, though, is that we had lots of time to be relaxed about getting Lionel and Crystal into their new finery for their wedding. We took deep breaths, and were able to focus on each individual aspect of the dressing process. I handed my camera to Maria who dutifully took some very nice photos of the bride and groom as I got them dressed in their many layers. Those photos, and a few I shot at the wedding itself, can be seen on my Flickr stream, in a set called Crystal and Lionel’s Wedding.
From a business standpoint, Sunday left much to be desired. We managed to have fun, anyway, but we were sure ready to head home when all was said and done. Kyle and I enjoyed our quiet dinner at Chili’s on the way home, and even I was in bed by midnight!
