Our son is getting married on Friday, and there will be a reception for about 200. Thankfully that is all laid on at the Old Mill in Toronto.

But the happy couple have asked us to play host to more than 30 people for the rehearsal dinner on Wednesday, and to serve breakfast, or brunch, to half a dozen groomsmen on the day of the wedding.

On Saturday, we will have a whole crowd of our friends and relatives from out of town over for drinks and a barbecue.

We are serving tapas and tapas like dishes for the rehearsal dinner, and are getting a head start on it today -- Spanish meatballs with a lot of garlic nutmeg; a white bean salad, also Spanish; roasted red peppers; a whole salmon, poached and served cold, probably with curry mayonnaise; a couple of large Spanish tortillas (egg, potato and onion); and some desserts.

The groom and his pals get scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, and fruit.

For the bbq we will keep it simple and do burgers with potato salad and probably a huge apple crisp for dessert.

After all this we will be happy to head out to our country place and collapse for a week or two.

`Well, mostly. We have friends from Canmore Alberta in town until Thursday so there is some quiet socializing. The house is in a bit of an uproar, with hockey and basketball gear all over the place and Jenn's suitcase, with wedding dress and other stuff, parked in the middle of the living room.

Daughter is going out of town tomorrow for several days so we have been tapped for some child care duty.

But we are gradually getting it all sorted.

At least your friends missed the snow.

True. Canmore at this time of year is not exactly a spa.
