konnie&scotts wedding  and my comedy of errors in lake tahoe

my daughter got married up in in lake tahoe (actually in 2011)and the wedding went perfect but there's always craziness that goes unseen and i will disclose them as time goes on, as there are some interesting dynamics here and will slowly disclose them...
my typical dad-mind-set, no one will ever be good enough for konnie...but scott has come along and without blinders on i can see that he cares about konnie and will protect her, love her and be good to her.. i realized after many years that being ego-centric is not caring for konnie's happiness, just mine-some delusion that the universe revolves around me...and that's just shitty of me...
as with all things in life, especially when there's good, there's always a catch or unplanned comedy of errors...here's is the one on the way to the wedding.....smiles ...
the morning of the wedding...some went to the hairdressers as the bride's brigade........we drank coffee and talked...figured i try on the tux...even though we had plenty of time... i had to rent a tux cause mine didn't match their color scheme...so i thought it was at one o'clock but actually had to be there at 11:30 (i was told a typical male response!) so i went to put on the tux (we are watching konnie's 3 dogs apart from our 2 & 3 cats) the clasp to tighten the waist wasn't working, so i get to the living room to get help with the clasp and everyone is in the car??? i figured we had time so i open the screen door and one dog shoots out like a laser beam, and then they tell me its time to go, so we chase it to a neighbors yard, so there i am hoping i don't lose my pants, in winter dried grass & weeds (no snow here???) hearing the neighbors dogs -a big boy and puppy sounding the woof alarm and hope they don;'t shoot me or ray as we bound around that yard..needless to say the dog would not come..we had dog greenies (a kinda crack for dogs) and it was a bribe that didn't work (obviously the dog isn't a politician)vicki tried with a greenie after it shot away from us and headed up the street & around the corner, so we left & visions of how do i explain this to konnie & not to mention to add any more stress to the wedding plans, hence there would be not talk of the dog situation for all concerned (the mental vision of what a vortex or the staring down an abyss festoon my thoughts)... so we head out, with the razor slim chance the dog will come back as we start at the bottom of the hill (kingsbury grade) and i say it's 11:15 we have alot of time, then they tell me it's at 11:30 so i wondered when my heart would explode...it's about a 20 minute drive from there to tahoe add 5 to get to them, then looking for a land mark, my sister in law says it's by a river...and i go it's lake tahoe not a river & come to find out she hadn't driven up earlier the day before with janet otherwise had i know, i would have gotten directions, so we pass it unknowingly and luckily lee (my sister) brought her phone as me & 2 others forgot theirs. after several u-turns we were there and they we waiting for me, but happy i was there and they were just grinning, as if they knew what happened..the rest was magic...and speaking of magic..the dog was waiting on the porch when we got back and i made the false promise to work with the handicapped and got to church since the dog was there... there are more dynamics...but i digress, you enjoy~!!!~
