Oh and I like the modern version of the tux. Doesn't look funeral-like.

Oh this is right up my alley. I am at war with the woods around my house, 40 acres of it. It creeps forward as I sleep. Sometimes I even hear the pines laughing. Poison it. Find out what kind of shrub it is and what soil it likes. Give me a week and it will be so dead they will have to remove it. Now I have to go read this entire thread. Sounds like you have a really cool wedding planned. brb

It would be a delight, Half! Shrubs need attention or inlaws? I do both.

Mocha, it's outside Lincoln on the only thing resembling a hill in central Illinois (hello, Indian burial ground much?) I like the newer tux, too. It's suitable for a daytime formal. ROTF, Fruitbat. I think you, Halfunit and Colossus need to get together and plan an evening of "bowling." We'll take up a collection for bail.

Oh goody, you will bail us out. That is sooooooo sweet! Ok, we dress like clowns. The costume will conceal the lye. I would prefer to use explosives but they can be problematic. They attract too much attention. I think I can work it out though.

Cool Half. I do not want to wear red noses though. I think that looks tacky.

Actually, I'm wearing my mother's wedding gown, Fruitbat. I gotsa lose about 2 inches on my waist yet, but it's perfect. The silk has aged to something around a champagne color, and the seed pearls have browned to a light coffee color. It's stunning. I wouldn't have it any other way. We are marrying on the 70th anniversary of my paternal grandparents' wedding, so all the more reason for the traditional route. I am planning the reception centerpieces around photographs of our ancestors' weddings, different pictures and informational placard thingies on each table - parents, grandparents, and all kinds of great -grandparents' historical wedding pictures.

Ok; As I see it evergreen type vegetation likes acid soil. Kewl; Give um extra. Pour about 5 gals of Starbucks coffee on the roots. The damn thing will overdose and die a happy death. No harm no foul.

Great - I can see the headlines now. Two noseless clowns and a Mediterranian statue arrested for floricide by Red-Eye. Hell, the locals might even write folk songs about it. Hope she'll still let me have the wedding there afterward.

So what makes Colossus think he's so special? Does he think he's the only person a Bush is making nuts right now? <jmm runs back to her folder to hide with Melodie> LOL

Gal, I think the Chapel is absolutely beautiful!! I love that it all has so much history and the fact that you are celebrating so many wonderful weddings with yours. Colossus, I'll have to see if I can find something to "help" you with your mindset of destroying a perfectly beautiful shrub that probably was planted by Lincoln himself.

OK, we tried to photograph the dress and tiara this weekend to post - not sure how the photos will turn out from crunching, I don't think the Austrian crystal and browned-pearl beading will show up at all (it's my favorite part) but here we go:
Well, hell I can't even make out the neckline on the first one. LOLOL - we'll try to do better later. Between using digital and the crunching, quite a bit is lost. The barstool's looking mighty sweet, though.
