Reader for the Bible Reading

25 days till the wedding... we have finally found a reader for the second bible reading.

It was a long story... sigh! At first (15 months ago), we asked Jason, Joe's cousin and godson to do the reading. About 4 weeks ago, we received the bad news that Jason's dad has been recently diagnosed with cancer in the neck and he is going through chemo-therapy, and they have decided not to come to the wedding.

Joe asked his sister, Melissa to do the second bible reading. We thought Melissa would understand the situation and would agree to help us. Unfortunately, she said she is only comfortable of speaking in front of 5-year-olds, and she won't be ok to speak in front of adults. Long sigh! Joe was really disappointed, and I felt for him but I was not able to help him much as he was pretty adamant to have someone from his side to do the second reading.

Tonight, Joe spoke with his cousin, Monica. Again, Joe explained the situation we are in, and without even thinking about it, Monica agreed to help us! We are so relieved! Thanks Monica! :-)
