Kelly used to be my old boss at Memorial Park Public Pool in Welland when we were lifeguards. Now I got to play for her wedding yeeeeaaarrrrss later :) Funny thing is just two years ago I attended my 'triplet cousins' baby shower/open house and she showed up. I wasn't even planning to go but I happened to be in town so I was thrilled to meet my three new little cousins. Kelly was also not really planning to go but was in town just getting back from a big trip to Europe. Turned out she was my Aunts niece on other side of the family. All the years we worked together we never realized this connection. She knew than she wanted me to play harp at her wedding but no date was set. She almost forgot about me until just a few weeks before her big day and I was so happy I was available to play for her. To my family's surprise there I was at her wedding playing for the reception. The picture is of my Aunt Franny, Uncle Arnold and two of their children with their spouses. It was great to see familiar faces and for them to hear me play since it had been years since they had heard me. They also felt free to make requests which was fun. I enjoyed this evening very much.
