Fashion Tips

The wedding and reception are actually taking place 80 years ago, in 1928. It's the height of the Roaring Twenties, the Jazz Age, when smart suits and flappered pearls ruled.

Several people have asked me about dressing for the occasion. One of the very first posts to this blog addressed the issue, but more information is always better.

Time Keeps on Ticking

With Christmas and New Years, this has been a busy time.

It's about to get a whole to busier!

The groom is putting the final touches on the "Order of Service" booklet so our non-Catholic friends can participate (or at least follow along) in the nuptial Mass. He will be meeting with the celebrant, Fr. Bryan Dolejsi, on Friday.

The last of the musical selections for the Mass (with sheet music no less) have been handed off to the musician.

There are portions of bridesmaids' dresses scattered over many of the horizontal surfaces in the dining room, carefully kept cat-free.

The common bedroom-to-be is getting a thorough makeover. More of a rebuild than a refurbish.

In less than three weeks, the groom's parents will arrive. And they'll be put to WORK!
