Super-secret strategy plan we can't talk about. Hush. Hush. Need to know, only...
Well, maybe it's not all THAT dramatic, but clearly some covert planning is underway! I love how the thing is kind of blurry, like it was taken with a 'spy camera' showing positions, placements, etc. Each wedding has a defined plan, so it's kind of like winning a skirmish over folks being single! Hehehe! We love what we do and that every plan, bride, groom, day and event are so very, very different and just right for the best couples in the universe! All quiet on the Chape
Holiday Smiles in Black and White!
Well, obviously, Miss Alice Fleetwood wasn't witnessing a wedding at the chapel on Thanksgiving Day, so we had to catch this great photo of her at the Theon gas station, getting topped off on our way to Valburn Drive. Such beautiful weather, an incredible hostess and complete, 1973 luxury transportation made Turkey Day even better than usual! We hope everyone is enjoying this "Most Wonderful Time of the Year" between Turkey and 2019! Pretty chilly here at El Rancho Chappell
Ornaments can be such great reminders of excellent weddings! Even if it's not exactly Christmas
This amazing ornament has been on our tree for 30+ years! We received it at the Orlando, Florida wedding of Jackie and Brent Beringer...oh so many years ago. It reminds us of that weekend every year, and is a treasured part of our Christmas past. Many of the ornaments on our tree have special significance from a wedding-time, and it's just a neat way to give the guests something special that they will have to remember you and the wedding day. Ok, I know it seems strange t
Photos from Tea at the Chapel!
I've seen enough of these photos to know that it's kind of like having your picture taken with the Easter Bunny or Santa when Miss Denise hosts her annual tea. Just about everyone got one, and nobody cried! Even with the Russian Tea Room hat! :) What a fun event, and it's always such a joy to me, since it is the ONE party each year that is her guest list, her event, and her plan. Really fun, and this was the best year ever. Good on ya, honey! Sipping coffee, watching th
Great photo of the night before the big day!
Ok, so we all know that Cap's memory isn't what it used to be, but is the kiddo in the background behind Shane part of the wedding party? I can't remember...! He's certainly involved in THIS shot, however.... Probably one of the last photos taken of these two as single folks, just hours before the big day! Many thanks to the Bledsoe's for including us in their rehearsal dinner, and it was yummy! So fun staying in touch on FB and keeping up with their encampment as time
When's the last time you saw a cherub wearing nothing but a floral arrangement?
To be honest, this little cherub statue is normally wearing next to nothing, but she's sitting in a vat of lavender buds, so I'd probably be similarly clad if I were she? No matter, she's a signature, trademark fixture in the main bathroom at the chapel and loved for her fragrance and good looks. The kiddos love to play in the lavender buds when they're here....much to Brandie's chagrin when it's cleanup time! :) Just chillin' (literally, since Clemente said it was 42 degr
