One Last Job Before The Big Day

What I've Learned So Far...

One Last Job Before The Big Day

The kids will be getting married in less than a week now. I find myself walking around with a big stupid grin on my face at the thought that my son - who I am pretty sure does not yet know how to tie his own necktie - will be standing up before God and all his pals to promise the rest of his life to his new bride. I am completely certain that Shannon and Pat will be the best bride and groom ever.

They live about two hours away from us, so I can only assume that all the preparations are going well. At least, we haven't received any hysterical phone calls. We did see this message posted to Shannon's Facebook page:

 

Things I need ASAP: 

 

A.) Someone to drive an 18 passenger old school Dodge shuttle van from the hotel to the wedding site (approx 3 miles) from 4:30-5:30 & 10:30-11:30pm. 

 

I can pay you, you just need to be sober. 

 

B) A bagpiper that doesn't cost an arm and a leg from 5pm-6pm. 

oh yeah... AND I need 3 strong boys that wanna help Pat get 2 300lb cement flower pots out of his truck tonight at the wedding site. They are VERY heavy!

 

I thought about picking up the phone to tell her that as a general rule you are better off if you don't cut corners when it comes to your bagpipers.
