Daily Report: Wedding At Kingston Lodge

Our friends Harry and Bhebs got married today at Kingston Lodge, so Epril and I went. Pretty much everybody we know from Cagayan De Oro was there, and we had a good time.

Kingston Lodge is a very nice place to have a small-to-moderate-sized wedding reception with lots of various spaces for sitting, good backdrops for photos, very good food, and a moderately sized place for dancing.

They also held the wedding service there, and Kingston Lodge isn't as good a place for that: There is no single large enough place for lots of people to bear witness to a marriage. Harry and Bhebs got married in this small room about the size of a bedroom, and nobody could hear what was being said. (Perhaps when it is sunshiny, instead of threatening to rain like it was today, marriages are held elsewhere on the grounds of Kingston Lodge... though I didn't see anyplace better-suited for a large crowd.)

Well, anyway, it was all about spending time with the newlywed couple on their special day, and we did get to do that. Best of luck to the new Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins.

(By the way, after 24 hours, Tyson doesn't seem to be having any problems related to the chicken he ate last night. Epril is more sure that it wasn't an entire chicken leg that Tyson swallowed, but a large hunk of chicken without such a large bone. Maybe she is right. I hope so.)
