For a number of years now, the congregation has been following the story of the MacVittie family with bated breath.
It was the 177th Anniversary of St. Paul's and the congregation celebrated with a lovely lasagna dinner and the short play, plus a sing along of Scottish tunes.
The Guest Speaker was Rev. Will Ingram who is minister of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in downtown Toronto. His wife Karen grew up in York Memorial Presbyterian church and it was a pleasure to see her again. I asked after her parents and thankfully they are both heavily involved at York and are well.
After the marvelous lunch, the St. Paul's Theatre Group performed the skit. The basis plot of the skid was that the bridegroom didn't want to wear a Scottish kilt to his wedding and he procrasnated about getting his too long trousers hemmed until the day before the wedding.
He asked three of the women in the family to shorten the pants three inches. All said, no they were too busy to do it, but unbeknownst to any of them, each one found the time to shorten the trousers. Thus, instead of 3" off, it was now 9" off the length of the garment.

The problem was solved eventually as the groom had no choice but to wear the kilt and the family were happy as was the bride.
Quite a good laugh.

Lest you think that this little problem will spoil the wedding, I shall show you a picture of the groom in his kilt.
