Congratulations - doubly!

Congratulations! That looks like a fabulous place for your reception, and may you have many, many more happy years together.

Thanks! The wedding arrangements sent me into a frenzy last night. I had to fire the classical guitarist we had booked for the wedding for reasons I won't go into now, but it means I've got to make alternative arrangements this week. I have two other classical guitarists I can check with, but if they're not available, it looks like it's going to be an ipod performance!

Mike - you can do what DH & I did 15+ years ago.. elope! We went before a judge (who was the probate judge), had a quick 5 minute "wedding" (the judge's main occupation was auctioneer.. to this day I *still* don't know what he said), we signed paperwork, and whala, married. 6 months later had a "renewal of our vows" (DH's Orthodox priest was so unhappy that we eloped.. he'd hoped that we'd asked him to officiate). All that attended in the church (who could seat a grand total of maybe 30 people) was the priest, DH, myself, my father, the priest's boyfriend (Orthodox is very progressive), and 1 family of friends.. that was it. Afterwards, we had our reception in our dormroom (we were living on college campus). It was a fancy affair of Cherry Koolaid & home-made brownies.

LOL.

But absolute congrads on winning!!

(EDIT forgot my )

I don't know - after 15 years, I think they deserve a little ceremony and celebration. (Hope the guitarist comes through.)

Congratulations! Fifteen years by itself deserves congratulations, in my book.
If you get a chance, could you post a report about the session on top minis?

Thanks Cindi. The top minis workshop was the best and most informative session I attended. I'll get the handouts scanned when I return home so I can pass them along, with the presenter's permission.

Well the alternative guitarist came through. She's a top-notch professional who has performed in places like Avery Fischer Hall at Lincoln Center here in NYC, has several CD's out, and whose fee is about a third of what the original guitarist tried to get out of me.

How perfect! I'm so happy for you. Getting someone of that caliber and saving money too.

Well it looks like congratulations are in order!
Congrats on the rose show wins and your marriage!
Now how bout some more pics?!

Doors closing, windows opening! Beautiful photos, congratulations all around.

Congrats on the wedding! Crucial question, which rosebud are you wearing as a boutonnière?
