A Wedding fit for one of Daddy's Girls




Well, it's over...

This week that has the Murphy Seal of Approval, has come to an end.

On Saturday, June 23, 2007, Edward Allen Scott and Sylva Nichole Feightner became man and wife at Liberty Freewill Baptist Church in Norton, Ohio. The ceremony was officiated by Rev. Cecil Farmer.

Now seeing I don't know how to be a society writer, and I wasn't taking notes, I will now go to my personal observations. Just keep in mind that I will be shooting straight in this post.

This week has taken it's toll on my wife, Kathy, our daughter Martha, and son, Adam, as well as myself. Of course I had been working all week, leaving early on Friday to do some of the running around. Rehearsal was Friday, and Eddie's parents, Ed and Angie prepared dinner for the wedding party, and it was delicious.

During the rehearsal itself, Cecil asked who gives this woman in marriage, I responded "Me and whatsername". The rehearsal rings were ball-and-chain key fobs. The children in the party were busy being cute and getting tired. We were all up late.

The ceremony: Pre wedding pictures were taken, and the groom almost had to be shackled until time for the ceremony so he couldn't see the picture of the birde. We had to get a backup piano player(Richard Cross came through in a pinch and did a great job) the original player showed up at the last minute, taking care of the family matter in Columbus. Our nephew, Josh and his wife Torrie, showed up 20 minutes late, prompting a delay. I didn't mind that as I think the world of them both.
Showtime: As the party proceeded down the isle, the nerves were starting to jangle. Sylva and I were both starting to tremble as we walked, but no tears. As I looked at Kathy, no tears. That surprised me as she was crying as the wedding gown was being tried on before purchase. I lifted the veil, kissed her forehead, and gave her to her intended. Vows were exchanged, songs sung, roses given to mothers and grandmothers. Time for the rings, the ring bearer, our four year old grandson, Ben, had fallen asleep.

Then the announcement: Rev. Farmer announced "I now present to you Mr. and Mrs Edward Scott."
Reception line, bubbles, photos, etc. Now off to the reception. The reception was held at the Church of the Nazarine in Wadsworth. I was sorta the emcee announcing when to eat and introducing my father-in-law, Eddie Bowyer, and asking him to bless the reception.

No tears, until: As I said, we were all doing okay, I asked the emergency piano player to sit at the family table, so we had to do some arranging around. I went to sit at the table and I noticed that there was two spots at the table with white roses. Behind the roses was a photo of my parents. I'm sorry, I lost it and I'm having a hard time typing it now.

Since the tears have started already: I set up a power point projector and then went back to the sound system. I then started to sing the Sugarland hit "I Loved Her First." Others then started crying.

The day was great, the food was fantastic. Our friend Patty Fryburger, was the caterer and did a fantastic job.

The new couple are on a short trip now. I have told them when they get back that I will give them advice.

And since so many marriages end in divorce, I ask you to pray for Sylva and Eddie, that they can work out all their problems together. Cecil said that marriage is not 50-50, it's 100% commitment from both.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?

My job

I have worked at my company for, unofficially, 17 years. When I first started working there in June, 1992, the average work week was 55-57 hours. Sometimes you worked more than that. I was 36 years old at the time and I could handle the long hours and short nights of sleep. 17 years and three knee surgeries later, I need less hours work and more hours sleep. Even moving into a quasi desk job, I still find it difficult to crawl out of bed at 3am. I could get up later if I wanted to put up with both rush hours. But this morning, things will change slightly. I received a call from my department manager yesterday. I was notified that I had to cut my time down to 40 hours. This would be down from 44-45 that I normally work. No surprise there as all the other departments got notified before I was. And I had to split my time between plants, doing calibrations at the other shop 1-1/2 days a week. I'm actually looking forward to the change. I also like the prospect of getting an hour extra...
