A floor manager's job is too tough for words to describe. Unexpected difficulties come up every minute. First, the tables at Galera are a bit more generous than anticipated, so making sure each of them has the right number of chairs is an exercise in compression. Second, convincing Yannis that putting 13 chairs at some of the tables will not bring about the Apocalypse requires advanced negotiating skills. Finally, just as resistance seems to fade and the original seating plan is enforced fully, the floor manager has to run to the church as she realizes that everyone else is already there and conveniently forgot to tell her about it.
Thankfully, the wedding is not over yet. The couple, the father of the groom (left) and the best woman (right) are in their places as the ceremony begins.
The bride has some difficulty in taking the event seriously and her brother isn't helping.
After some momentary panic and looking around in purses, the best woman produces the rings...
... and proceeds to perform her duties with poise.
The rings are now in place and both families seem pleased that no one has tried to escape so far.
[Note that both CIA and KGB have sent their agents to the ceremony. Can you spot them in the crowd?]
Crowning the couple requires some gymnastics on the part of the best woman due to the groom's high altitude.
As temperatures are rising, the floor manager is called upon to provide emergency ventilation...
and it's finally time for a drink.
Some of the guests get overzealous with the rice, thus further making a mockery of the event.
After it's all done, there's barely time for some post-ceremony gossip...
before the guests line up to congratulate the wedding party. The floor manager pays her respects quickly, as she has to run to fish taverna Galera and anticipate the arrival of the masses.
