Well, I'm not sure if it is the hat or what, but Dale CERTAINLY looked more excited on his wedding day. Accessorizing is so important, don't you think? :) Anyway....congrats to these two on their anniversary, and our prayer is for many, many more for them! Hopefully, we'll see them back at wedding homecoming dinner this year! Busy day at the chapel. steaming, ironing, prepping for the big weekend. The weather looks like perfection for the big day, and we're pleased as punch about that. Our N&K are a delight, and we're already looking forward to wonderful fun. Special guest stars are helping out this weekend, and the whole thing sounds like a party. Having faith, even when tragedy str

Recently assembled for an excellent photo shoot, this tableau is just right for the chapel. Elegant, rustic and wonderful. The shoot itself was fun, and the images were very appealing. It's neat to see other folks' ideas come to life here and give us creative pause to consider for events. Blessings to Lucy for selecting our chapel for the shoot! Cleaning up and getting ready for N&K's big adventure this weekend. Should be a pretty full house, and we know that it will be a wonderful day...especially with this tremendous bride and groom. Headed around for errands and appointments today, but chair cover steaming continues! Trusting. Even when we're scared....that's the whole gig. If we c

...but it's not! Greg and Griselda brought delightful Prestyn over for supper this week, and we had a wonderful time! It's so excellent having them such a short distance away in their beautiful, new home. We're also excited that her 1st birthday party is this weekend, AND Angie's Amazing Crumb cookies will be on the menu as well. Everybody wins! Supper tonight promises to be special, and we're excited about several new weddings in the planning stages. Lots to do today, but as always, it will all work out. The weather is amazing, and fun activities are planned for this weekend all the way around. The blessings just keep on coming, as long as we stay out of the way with worry. Thank you

Well, it's official, and the date's been set. We couldn't be happier, and it's just amazing how these things work out. About 2 years ago, we took our limousine to a rare bridal vendor event at the request of a colleague. The reason it's rare, is that we usually don't participate in bridal fairs, since you've really got to see this amazing chapel to believe it! :) Anyway...while we were there, we met this delightful young lady, and invited her to visit our chapel. She fell in love with it, and us with her, and we agreed to share potential brides and grooms as we went forward. Well, out of the blue not too long ago, she contacted us and said she was ENGAGED! How cool is that. She r

One of the fun-nest things about WHD is the cake! We make sure that there's a bride and groom on the cake for each and every bride and groom at the dinner! It's got a rather freakish appearance, since they're pretty much jam packed up there, but it's funny to us! TLC helps us by loaning us some cake toppers, and Miss Denise and I shop the year around to find them. We've gotten to the point where they have to be small, since so many need to fit! Saw a few in the last couple of weeks that would have been SO NEAT, but they were just to huge to make it work. We're already looking forward to this year's WHD, and the slide show that went out on FB yesterday has already reached over 1,400 fol

To me, this mug IS a dweam wifin a dweam! So, surely Princess Bride fans for a while (although we're not as rabid about it as others....not naming names here :)) it was only natural that we knew of the excellent wedding scene in the movie. The AMAZING part was that Jackie & Adam requested it as part of their wedding vows when I married them this summer. At first I was reluctant...would their guests get it? did it seem too flippant? I was assured by our couple and family that it would be well received. Well it WAS! Everyone laughed, and apparently I was fairly good with my imitation of the character as well. Well, when this mug came along on FB (Jackie sent me the link, I think?) I ju
