Does anyone else remember the song that was sung at Fred and Janes reception "when Jane cuts the cakes" sung to the tune of The Farmer and the Dell??? It is emblazoned on my memory forever! Their reception was I think at Redondo Beach at nice restaurant. There was a live band playing there who imortalized the song when Fred and Jane were to cut their wedding cake. One of the coolest things for me as a teenager was a lot of good food and all the punch I could drink. There seemed to be 2 separate punch bowls one for the mormon crowd and one for those who endulge in adult beverages. I remember Roy not knowing the difference by appearance and quenching his thirst. The details are fuzzy but I thought it created a little stir with uncle Jack. Does anyone else remember anything about that?
I do remember lining up for the traditional "catch the Brides garter" contest and actually coming away with the garter as a 14 year old. Later Fred asked me if I would trade him Jane's garter back to him for a different one he already had. I obliged his request and we both were satisfied.
Later, I believe I went to Chavez Ravine for the first time and watched a Dodger game in the left field bleachers. There was a good group of us cousins but the one person I remember most was Edward being there and enthusiastically cheering with the organ when it played. That is what I recall. by Dave Johnson
I remember that song too and that their wedding was just beautiful with all the pastel colors of rainbow. Roy had the honor of being the ring bearer since he was the right size and wore a white tux with lavender. When it was time for him to give the ring to Fred, he was playing with a little bug on the pillow and we were trying to say "Pssst, Roy!" without saying anything.
ReplyDeleteAt that Dodger game, I mostly remember standing on the seats and singing at the top of our lungs "WHEN JAYNE CUTS THE CAKE!!!!" all the way through the end. Very fun times indeed!
Yes, I remember the punch incident quite well. I remember being told not to get the certain punch that came out of the one source. When I went back to get my second drink of the correct punch, Ryan was standing there in line with me and said something like 'What are you doing?!?' I told him I was getting the right one and he said something like 'They switched it. You have to get the other one now.' So, I just retrieved other beverage and went back to my seat. If I drank some, I don't think it was much because I remember a lot of older cousin eyeballs looking at me. I think my Dad figured out what was happening early in the process.
