Relative Betrothal
So, myself and herself are off to the UK for the weekend, to Wiltshire to be precise, for the wedding of my cousin Ian to his fianceé (obviously) Kate. There's five of us going over from Ireland together, us two, my two sisters Sarah and Becca, and my bro-in-law Sean. Getting a flight tomorrow at 6-ish, and back on Sunday late.
I'm actually going to be an usher at the wedding, which is something I actually had to look up myself, as I hadn't a clue what it was. When Ian asked me to be an usher, I said 'riiiight... so what does an usher do?', to which he replied 'what an usher do? Err, I dunno!', so it's obviously a very important position in the ceremony (from what I can gather, the usher is the guy who stands at the door of the church and says 'bride or groom?'. What fun!).
Have a good weekend y'all, and I'll probably post a hilarious wedding-ey pic if I get a break from all my important ushering duties. Later!

You're coming to the UK with sisters and didn't tell me.

an usher leads people to their seat with a torch and turns up the house lights in the interval so that the audience can get an ice cream.

Actually no, it turns out that an usher does many things (there were four ushers), from handing out orders of service to seating people in the church (there was a detailed seating plan) to organising groups for photographs, etc, etc.
You're talking about the other type of usher. I work in a theatre so I know what you're talking about though, from a technical standpoint. :-)
