To have and to hold...


                                      To have and to hold....


   It will be a long time, and perhaps forever, before I am able to again witness a wedding as beautiful and memorable as our daughter Meghan's wedding ceremony. Every wedding ceremony is beautiful, and every couple adds personal touches to the ceremony and reception. These touches communicate uniqueness and thoughtful preparation for the serious undertaking of marriage. 

   Meghan's wedding ceremony was special for the usual reasons, but there was the unity of the couple, and their spiritual development and flourishing that came through into all the readings, songs and prayers of the ceremony, giving it a mystical element, which resonated with the divine presence of God.

Tulle and Lace


                                        Tulle and Lace



  Lately I am wrapped in a fog made up of tulle and lace. These are the quixotic materials out of which I will create a wedding veil. This should be a fairly straightforward project, but because of a few non-negotiable elements, it has become a bit more difficult. 

The problem I encountered was that the width of the lovely embellished lace didn't conform to the required width on the cathedral veil pattern. So, tulle has been my savior material, and the lovely lace will be the trim, and decorate the bottom of the veils' train.

This veil, once completed, will beautifully accentuate the gorgeous lace wedding gown that our daughter will be wearing. I'm just relieved that there was a solution for this challenge!
