Today we'd get everything ready. The huge canopy was already covering the tables when we arrived yesterday. Lots of people were helping out. Some were creating artistic arrangements of cut flowers. Tables were decorated. Jay and I asked for tasks. It was fun stringing the lights around the porch and figuring out how to plug them in. We arranged and marked a bunch of garbage bins so that recycling and garbage would end up in the right places. Even today the empty beer and wine bottles are brimming. The entire garage had to be cleaned out, so that catering can set up inside tomorrow. The chairs and wedding arch were re-arranged on the lawn. There are always last minute necessities such a hiking up to find some shims to even up the table that will support the dinner of the bride and groom!
We took a break from our leisurely pursuits to ride up a mountain in back of the property. If you look very, very closely in the bottom image, you may be able to spot the white canopy tent of where the wedding will take place at 4:00 tomorrow. (It's a little to the right and under the center of the photograph.)
We just had a Chipotle Restaurant delivery and will go to sleep fairly early. Tomorrow is the day!
