An English geranium wedding theme!

 
Can it be September, already!?!?!   Well, you can tell I've been reading a novel set in the UK, since geraniums are on my mind.  What an amazing way to bring the outdoors inside in a perky and earthy way for a special celebration.  Hardy, happy and stout, these little fellows could really 'splash up' a wedding celebration, AND be around for a long time afterward as part of the newlywed's garden plan!  Fun.  
 
Mild activity level at the chapel today!   Need to get the vendor list off to Elizabeth, pull the Eldorado convertible out for a trip to town, run an errand, and also get to see Angie and James' new home!  Several things on the list, but all worth doing and all such a simple joy.  Made an Outlander Cookbook meal last night at the chapel, which was just OK, but it's primarly my fault, as I overcooked the veal.  Smoked the place up a bit, too....thank goodness for all those doors!  Watering is needed at the chapel today, but Harvey gave us about a week off in that department, so we really can't complain. 
 
The flower doesn't know it will be as beautiful as it is when it first starts out.  Isn't that like us in His garden?  Here's hoping everyone blooms in living color today, and shares their special hues with others!

This stained glass window welcomes everyone to the chapel kitchen! It was one of the first things we bought when we were building the place, and the colors and pattern are just right for our look!

We get to see some brides and grooms all the time, and it's really fun! Supper at Hettie and Chad's last was no exception. They're house is coming along beautifully, and it's fun to be involved!

Tea Ladies doing their thing. Lynda, Karen, Lisa, Emmy and Susan are supping and dining on the annual tea fare at the chapel. Hats are looking pretty great here, and everyone wore one! Way cool!

Who says the Consigliere doesn't work hard around here?!? Here's our hero making sure the world is safe for white bread sammiches! I love Samantha's super classy hat look here! First tea for her!

Check out this tea party, fun-dango kinda shot! Clearly, again this year, hats were required, and there were quite a few of them. From picture frame hats to fascinators, colors and shapes abound!

It is to laugh........... The ladies say that they're coming to the annual tea party for tea, sandwiches, sweets and sparkling beverages and conversation. ...It's really for the CHEESEcake!

Happiness as a couple is palpable with these two. It was an honor to have their wedding ceremony at the chapel, and an even greater honor to have performed the rite. Art and Sue are a delight!

Totally fun teatime for the ladies! Everyone dressed in hats and sipping away. They loved the raspberry cocktail almost as much as the tea! Outstanding day that was all about Mrs. Boss's posse!

For those of you 'in the know', this chapel is truly our Joy. This is particularly evident in this photo of Samantha about 2 minutes after getting married. Mrs. Boss knows how to express joy!!!

This has GOT to be one of my favorite photographs ever posted on the Chapel blog. Jolene took this arial shot of the outdoor place settings at Jess & Sam's wedding, and it's beautiful! Def our look!
