Just Another Ordinary Miracle: Black Tie, Red Shoe

We were honored to be asked by our friends Missy and Adrianne to be a part of their wedding this week. We introduced them three years ago and we're thrilled that things have worked out so well for them. We look forward to Missy moving north! They asked Shif and me to be their witnesses at the ceremony and Zain to be the ringbearer. Missy found an awesome little tux for him and he managed to keep all components of it on all night.

The wedding was a small affair, held at Toronto's City Hall. They have a nice little wedding chapel there. The three of us stood up front with them. Right before we were getting ready to start, Zain started saying "pee pee". We didn't want him saying "pee pee" 500 times during the ceremony, so we got the okay from the brides to scurry off to the bathroom located right behind the chapel, if we could make it fast. Luckily, Zain is pretty good these days at making it fast! Apparently, the justice of the peace said something to the crowd about a delay because the ringbearer was "indisposed" and right after that, they heard us flush the toilet.

Shif held Zain during the ceremony, where he proceeded to chatter as loudly as he could. She tried all the tricks she could think of, and finally hit upon the magic trick - humming his designatd sleep song, Frere Jacques. He cuddled up on her chest and was quiet through the rest of the ceremony. And he managed to deliver the ring boxes very nicely to the brides.
