Well, in our world, that would help to make the day even more perfect...but that's just us! Well, that's just us and a lot of our couples, since just about everyone who gets married here is pretty much into the vintage, non-cookie cutter vibe. Thank God! ...Loving this new set of 'jewlray' provided to me by Mary Jo Laney (MOB) from Minnesota. Check out the great, really old 1920's/1930's cuff studs, and neat tie bars AND the crazy excellent bowling pin and bowling balls! Too great! Thanks, MJL, and they're cozily ensconced in the special cuffy link box, just waiting for the next time I put on a tie. Maybe TODAY! Vintage weddings and vintage looks are the best, methinks. ===========

We are constantly amazed and thrilled with the value that Florida's Emerald Coast casts in its magic spell. Just got back from a wonderful visit, and the price could not have been better. Reasonable food available, tremendous value in lodging....you can save yourself from eating out every meal with a nifty condo, and the airfare/driving costs aren't overwhelming. We just love this area of the Sunshine State, and try to get there as often as possible. We'd like to try to get there in our new RV one of these days, but 'we'll see'! Think about having your honeymoon memories come true in the Florida Panhandle. Let us know if you've got questions! BUT, as you already know I'm going to say

Recently, I again had the distinct enjoyment of having a pedicure at the tremendous Kutula Salon in Belton. What a treat to see our chapel brochures so prominently displayed! You go, Kutula! Thank you so much. I then realized that both the chapel and Kutula are really in the magic business. We take regular, ordinary, wonderful people and make them glow with beauty. They do theirs with expert hair and nail care, and we do ours with a wonderful wedding experience, but it's all magic, just the same! Give Kutula a try the next chance you get....you won't be sorry. Sure beats the 'factory' feel of nail salons in the area! Oh, and be sure to swoon over the chapel brochures at the recepti

So............there we were at Barrow Brewing (with all the cool kids) after yoga, and our good friend D. A., says........hey, I know of a wedding dress for sale that's brand new and an excellent price. We're like........send us a pic, and here it is. One bride is already considering it, but we thought we'd throw it out here. Apparently, this never-worn number is a size 10 that fits more like an 8, and can be had for excellent $$$. Let us know if you're interested, and we'll put you in touch with our couture contact! :) What fun life is when everything's all about weddings, dressing up and fun! A tremendous visit and wonderful booking with A&N this weekend! Can't wait for their big

One of our absolute favorite parts of weddings here at the chapel is that they're really the opening act for many, many more happy memories to come. We have brides and grooms that visit weekly, annually, every so often, and the blessing of it all is that they VISIT! What other place would you get married and come back to all the time. Right? Praise Him! ====Anyway, the photograph on today's blog is of the magical bride from a few years ago, Jolene, being assisted by Otto! (Auto to some!) . The purpose of ringing the triangle bell from Cindy and Dick inside the chapel is that every time cash it the jar for scouting at the fundraiser last night, the winner got to RING THE BELL! We laug

We're not going to lie....it was easy for Tara Barnes to make Mary and Patrick look good on their 'bestest' of days.... and the boss always looks good, but Ol' Cap doesn't even look like the cryptkeeper here! Well done, Tara! Good on ya! .... We just love this photo because I really think it's an amazing representation of how we will NOT let a bride and groom down on their largest of events. We were a 4-some (with LOTS of parental help, PTL) that worked together from day one to weave the magical wedding plan together, strand by strand. The result was a victory for all of us, and we're so very proud of them! Congratulations, M&P and best wishes, always, for a lifetime of happiness! =

Well, it took me over a month, but it's finally posted! We had such a great visit with one of our favorite couples and they put the newest sign of all on the Celebration Tree at the chapel! Don't forget, Caliber Oak Brides and Grooms, if you were married here, you get to put your sign on the tree as well. Contact El Capitain for details! It looks like C&J had a tremendous trip to Hawaii and we can't wait to hear all about it. Blessings to them both as they unpack and unfold the mystery, wonder and blessing of married life together! Wooohoooo! Well, the chapel is kinda quiet today, and we had a lovely visit with J&D last night. It's not the right venue for their day, but we wish them
