There is nothing like being the maid of honor at your best friend’s wedding.
I was overjoyed but not surprised when my childhood best friend, Corry, asked me to be her maid of honor.
She had so much to plan for, and I was able to be there every step of the way. I helped her pick out the bridesmaid’s dresses as well as her very own gown. I’m not really sure if she was more excited about her wedding or if I was. I didn’t sleep at all the night before the ceremony because I was just too excited. The decorations turned out beautiful, and everything was ready to go by ten o’clock even though the wedding didn’t start until five o’clock. We were hit with some shocking news around two o’clock while getting ready. The heat in the auditorium wasn’t working. They were calling an HVAC technician as they told us the information, but it was still very terrifying. Poor Corry was so nervous that not having heat would ruin her special day. The HVAC technician wasn’t able to get to the church until four o’clock just an hour before the ceremony was supposed to begin. Corry sent out a massive group text to all the people she could think of to warn them to wear extra layers and to keep their coats on when they came in because there was no heat in the auditorium. The guests arrived and the ceremony began without any heat. It wasn’t until the reception started that the HVAC technician was able to get the furnace working once again. Thankfully, everyone was able to stay warm enough, and we can all look back on that crazy day and enjoy the wonderful memories.
