But still rather relaxed. I finished work at lunch yesterday and headed over to the suit hire place to pick up suits for myself, Steve, Kevin, Joel and Neal. Arrived, parked and was handed four suits. You may notice, as I did, that there was a problem. Joel's suit was missing. After bringing this point to their attention, it transpired that Leeds, where Joel had been measured, hadn't sent the details through to the branch I was stood in.

This is fine - they've got plenty of stock. They promise a call shortly once they'd got the details from the Leeds branch. About an hour later, I receive the call. Problem. Because of Joel's shape (same as me - tall and thin) they've not got anything in. Solution? They'll courier something over from Leeds, don't worry, it'll be with us tomorrow (Friday). Fine.

I then headed over to the theatre and collected various bits of PA equipment for the jukebox at the wedding reception venue. Nice and easy, except I didn't get as many speaker stands as I wanted. No major problem there.

Got home and spent the night putting the final touches to the jukebox - adding a few more albums, getting the database built, then making sure it worked properly. This caused some issues - the software - Nordbeat Jukebox is good, but has a lot of options. I ended up getting to bed at about 2330 after getting it all right.

During the evening, the harpist called and said he'd only that day received a piece of music I'd sent him which we wanted played as Sioned and myself walked back down the aisle after we'd been married. We were already aware of the fact he'd not received it, but it was only that evening that we realised that there was no way he'd be able to learn it in time, nor play anything in its place. A plan was hatched that I'd source another small PA which we'd use for the wedding ceremony itself.

Anyway, to bed.

Friday rolled around bright and early and saw me collecting a PA at 0845 in Bangor. Headed straight back home where I managed to get some breakfast before loading the car up with 2x PA, enough mains cable to sink a ship, a computer, touchscreen and two bags of clothes, two cd players, my laptop... basically, it was crammed full. I arrived at the ceremony venue at 2 and started setting up the PA there. Another small problem presented itself in that I'd opted for Kevin or Joel to operate the PA. Due to the layout of the room, this wasn't going to happen. Chances are, it would need to be Laura - my sister and also a bridesmaid - doing the operating. I called them, and they were still pretty far away. Estimated ETA before they left was 2. They were in Chester, and it was 1445 now. I decided to head off to the reception venue to start setting up there. I said to call me when they arrived at the ceremony venue.

I arrived at the reception venue to find a room set out with tables and so on. Great, except I could've done with checking I'd got everything to make the jukebox work. No matter, I've hopefully got everything - if not, Maplin is open till 8 tomorrow.

Sometime around then, I get a call saying that Mum, Dad, Laura, Grandma and Grandad have arrived at the ceremony venue and where-the-hell-am-I. I hot foot it over there, check Laura is happy with operating the gear then give a quick crash course in what pre fade listen is, how to cue a CD and operate a mixing desk. Happy with that, I then shoot back over to the reception venue and finish sorting stuff out there, including the worst hack I've ever done - bridging a GPRS connection over wavelan. Ick.

About then, Steve, Marie and Kev turned up. I took them over to the ceremony venue so that everyone was clear on where it was. On the way back, I had a call from the suit hire company. Remember that bit? It's now 1650 and the suit has *just* turned up. Instead of going back to the reception venue, we shoot straight over to Conwy to pick said suit up. From here, back to the reception venue for me to pick up my laptop and camera, before home for five minutes (literally). It was then over to the pub for a meal.

On the way, the company supplying the cars called us. Fantastic people - I've hardly had to do anything with them. It's all under control and they've upgraded Sioned's car to an S-Class. Ace.

Joel, Nicky, Ellie, Ben and Will arrived at the pub shortly after we did. It was quite nice to relax there, although receiving 12 voicemails from individual people once I arrived there was rather odd.

An interesting comment tonight was that this is, apparently, the most organised wedding and it's not even happened yet. We shall see. I'm happier now that Joel and Will are here - certainly, if any of the things that I was concerned (I won't say worried, as I wasn't) about are to go wrong, I know I can rely on them. Joel has a car full of stuff that will probably solve anything that might go wrong.

And now - sleep
