The day began at the Grounds of Alexandria. This is the place where the wedding is to be held, but this morning, the reason for coming was brunch with a good high school mate of mine, and his girlfriend, whom I met for the first time. Good chat, good food, good first impressions.
Complimentary danishes. On our way out we were stopped by the danishes stall and the guy told us if we sang a Christmas carol, we'd get a free danish. So the three of us sang Hark the Herald Angels Sing. A couple of bystanders even videoed us singing. It was good to sing to the public about the real reason why we celebrate Christmas.
I had a bit of a kick back waiting for the afternoon, when the other people involved in the wedding tomorrow arrived at the Grounds. We had a quick rehearsal, going through what the ceremony would be like tomorrow. The groomsmen and bridesmaids properly met each other for the first time. It went well.
For dinner, I was the guest of another good mate from church. This one isn't getting married (yet). However, he did introduce me to his girlfriend. We went to a chic Italian restaurant called Vapiano. You order the pasta at the counter, and they make it in front of you. It was a nice experience. Sorry, so keen to eat that I forgot to take photos of the pasta itself :/
