hi mudpie,
ask your hubby to speak to brother mike (michael broughton). advise tat he makes a call to the secretary (still ms Bee?) to catch bro mike during his free time and then go down personally to ask... basically he'll hand u the keys (cannot keep) and u run your own show from there...
logistics-wise, they shuld have the red carpet, otherwise flowers/catering has to be arranged your end. there's an assembly area behind the chapel tat is perfect for putting the food and the place can comfortably stand 50-60pple. the chapel can sit abt 40-50 at least, if i can still remember.
the chapel will have the cd player for u to play your music. u'll need to get your own priest to go down and i figure u'd need at least 4men (preferably 1 is an SJI buddy and can go down with your hubby to see bro mike), and another 3 girls to help with logistics.
i helped my best fren setup his wedding there abt 4yrs ago. we're all old boys and pretty close with most of the pple there, well, the older batch of teachers lah... i would think tat u'd need a at least 2 pro-active frens to help out. depending on the time, u may have to do the setup the nite before... my best fren's wedding was at 9:30am sharp. the evening before, 4 of us guys + bride's sister went down to lay the carpet, test the sound system and basically make sure all was ok. early next morning, 2 lady helpers had to go down early to receive the florist, the setup took roughly 40mins cos i rememeber the girls had to go down an hour before us.
oh ya, was abit hot... but maybe now might have an aircon? think this is impt.. i do suggest abt 10am-1030.
the Chapel is to me... made for marriages to be sealed in God's presence... so white and so personal... u'll know wat i mean when u see it... good luck!
ps: i did my buddy's wedding in 2000 so some changes may have taken place.
