Well, it's 8:08 am... and my alarm wasn't due to go off for another couple of minutes...so my body had to wake me up early to remember the crazy dreams i had last night. I was having wedding dreams like crazy at the beginning, when we were first engaged but this one was far out... it somehow involved Rachel and i floating around the harbour in Belfast while all sorts of people were launching new ships and also going on vacation with camper vans on the ships... but that had nothing to do with the wedding. Neither did my other dream of being lost after getting off the highway on the wrong side of the tracks somewhere in some city that was a combination of Amsterdam and Hamilton and running into all sorts of weird situations, having to jump off roofs and talk to drug dealers...
But then there was the wedding... we started late - 7pm late - i remember thinking to myself, "why are we so late? What were we doing that we started so late?" but i suppose if we were lost in the city somewhere, that might account for it eh? I was mingling with the crowd before the wedding already and there were lots of people there whom i didn't know, but i was somehow okay with that.
I walked into church but sat on the far left side in the crowd, whilst Timothy was at the front with a co-worker of mine (who got married in reality a couple of weeks ago in a very non-traditional outdoor wedding - it was very beautiful and relaxed). Rachel (my co-worker) gave a big speech welcoming everyone and then the pastor and Timothy took over and were reading some form that was totally not our wedding form - something involving poets and quotes about marriage from philosophers and i remember thinking that i was surprised that the pastor was okay with all this.
To be honest, i was falling asleep in my dream listening to all this until Timothy came around the aisle and stood me up and we had to walk to the front wearing a piano bench cover on our heads (kinda like a jewish ceremony?). It was very stiff and awkward to walk under...
Unfortunately, from then on, i don't remember much about the ceremony - maybe that will come tomorrow evening...but i do remember trying to plan how we would eat our wedding dinner because there was a fire/smoke in the dining hall and we were kicked out into the street and had long tables set up in the street but most of our guests were gone and there were just a few random people there that i remember - Chuck and Carol, Joyce and a few others who were helping set everything up...
Hmmm.... yep, i think that about does it - how did you sleep last night? And i wonder if these dreams are going to get worse before the big day? Only 3 more sleeps to go.... how bad can it get???

That sounds like a fun trip and wedding. Full of surprises, you have wedding on the mind at all? so we have to change the head covering now mom
Very interesting! I especially like the part about the piano bench cover.
