Sunday Aug 4th – Friday Aug 9th
What a busy and fun week. We
raced around getting organized on Monday and looked forward to spending the day
on Tuesday with Evan and Kyle, but… their timetable got delayed and we didn’t
actually get to see them until 8pm however it was so good to see them before
the big day.
Wednesday was such a big
day…. And a great day. We got to pick our lovely boys Braden and Grant up at
the airport and take them back to the trailer and crack open some bubbly in
celebration.
In the evening we headed to
Evan and Kyle’s for a lovely BBQ and salads and after visiting and chatting we
all got a production line going wrapping ribbons and attaching cards to about
100 small jars of homemade strawberry/peppercorn mint jam (Mint from our garden
and Kyles Mum’s garden). They are to be given to guests at the wedding
reception.

On Thursday, the boys
attended the rehearsal at the church and Derek and Janice went downtown to pick
up a shirt for Evan, which took quite a long, time…. traffic in Vancouver is
incredible, especially with a 2500 HD diesel truck! We then met everyone at the
rehearsal get-together at a local pub/restaurant on Commercial Drive. We got to
meet Kyle’s family (His birth Mom and her partner, his sister and her partner),
and had some time to chat with their ‘best people’ (Gaylords), and also with
Janice’s brother and his wife and her daughter. It was a great night and we
totally enjoyed meeting more of Kyles family.
Friday was spent doing some
more final errands and a quick drive with B and G around Stanley Park. We had a
lovely steak dinner and then opted for a reasonably early night after making
sure we all had our clothes organized for the big day tomorrow.
