that I am singing it in my sleep. I am hoping that my body will not fail me in
the technique dept. Any advice or encouragement would be appreciated.

First of all, forget about the people who are critical of your voice. You
will not be singing for them, and what they think does not matter. You are
there to sing for the bride and groom and their friends, who are all eager to
enjoy this happy occasion and your beautiful contribution to it. Stop think-
ing about whether your technique will work. You have prepared well. Now just
go and ENJOY singing this lovely music! It is your wedding gift to the happy
couple. Give it with joy!
