Wooohooo! And we get to see them very soon! Going to put their sign up on the celebration tree in just a few, short hours! Such a great couple, such a great wedding, and so much fun... Thanks, again, C&J for selecting us for your magical moments! Met with Artania & Horace today to go over their vows, and excited about a little travel coming up as well. Miss EmmyLou is headed to Templetown for some steering work and the most delightful Sarah Sanderford is celebrating her 3# birthday tonight! Whooooohoooo x 2. ===still working on excellent leftovers from the Taste and See book halibut recipe. We can't recommend it enough. === Yoga last night was amazing, and apparently, there's

Well, another eventful weekend down at the chapel with memories galore! One of the highlights of the weekend was our Saturday 'picnic' with Dick and Cindy Cashion, in which "Australia" was the theme. Dick served up amazing shrimps on the barbie, Cindy rocked the kiwi and strawberries, and yours truly did something new for us. Lamingtons. Simply sponge or pound cake in cubes, dipped in a yummy chocolate glaze and rolled in coconut. Delightful, light, and genuinely fun! They're already on the menu for this year's Annual Ladies Tea for the fall, and we're thinking they could be a pretty cool alternative to wedding cake. Even Sarah and Otto got in on the leftovers, and declared them good.

This photo from Christina and Jacobs great wedding adventure is just breathtaking. It's such a great reminder of how having the right people come together .... from the bride/groom/moms/dads/photo/floral/venue....can truly make ALL the difference in the most important day in a couple's life. Breanne Johnson took this amazing shot, and our talented floral designer made the petals happen. Not only does this ethereal shot look dreamy, but it also reeks of anticipation before the big moment! Love the color scheme (we think it might have been the first at the chapel) of blue and yellow, but most already know that, since it's the theme of the chapel kitchen! Super well done, and so very, v

Well, if this doesn't bring brides and grooms running to set up their big day of their dreams, we don't know what will! :) Anyway, we think the photo is amazing. A little green tinty here, but you get the drift. Great shot for a great place. We think it does really reflect who we are here, and Miss EmmyLou Chevrolet certainly does look awwwwfully nice in this photo. (thanks photoshop!) We'll hope that it attracts a lot of potential couples and that they'll know we are here and way-retro cool! A slow day at the chapel with little on the schedule except for McKenzie's Soundbath session this evening. Rained like the dickens yesterday (never complaining about that) but the lightening was

What are the perfect cuff links to wear to the magazine launch garden party for The Book of Beautiful Weddings? These retro beauties right here. The party's theme was white/cream, and these mother of pearl-esque babies were just right. Diggin' the mid-30's to early 50's design, and would love to know the life these two lived before being shipped to Salado! Love my cuff link collection....thank you, John and Marcy! A beautiful day in Caliber Oak paradise today. Had a good Chapel Yoga night last night, and are looking forward to our next event! The books for the book club are here, and being grabbed up, and today is also the day for spring/summer cleaning of our bedroom. (Ye Gods, I'm a

We know a few of our brides and grooms have done just that, and after this weekend's excellent mini-break, we could see how this really would be a fun and romantic way to start life together. Renting an RV would be less expensive than some other options, and the relaxation time, fresh air, physical activity and time to visit with each other would be incomparable. Something to think about.... Our trip was so excellent this last weekend, that we're already mulling over our options for another, slightly larger, RV for our travels. Anyone looking for the cutest little tent.with.A/C should let us know.... Looks like we're 'movin' on up', already... :) An outstanding Monday already in the

It takes a pretty special bride and groom for ol' Cap to take his eyes off of this tremendous 1957 Chevrolet for very long, but they pulled it off! Congratulations to Mary and Patrick for having such a tremendous wedding day at our beloved chapel. You just never know when your heart will be touched, and when Mary came to sing with the Bella Sona Choir from Holy Trinity Catholic High School to raise money (charity is always at the heart of His love!) as a wee little lass...she fell in love with the place. Patrick has been the love of her life for a very long time, and this location, feel and blessing was definitely meant to be. Working with great and supportive parents, the Linz/Speights
