I suggested to my future daughter-in-law that we might do henna on our hands for ours.<br /><br /><b>Shari</b>, thank you! Congratulations to Jaime. Wow, $500 more for the tree. Incredible. We have had a couple of offers for people to get married here, but more theoretical than anything. Maybe when we retire!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-36422865677648598212012-02-16T08:07:10.721-05:002012-02-16T08:07:10.721-05:00Ruth, Congratulations to you and your family. What...Ruth, Congratulations to you and your family. What joy! I loved the last wedding and can't wait for the next. It looks like Jaime's wedding may be finally happening. Don't want to jinx it. But you would laugh. We drove for 45 minutes to tour a wedding "farm". It was beautiful with miles of white fences. It even had a few horses. There was a beautiful victorian "house" with chandeliers. There was also an antique barn available. Jaime was prepared to pay $1,700 for the barn but she balked at an extra charge of $500 to have the ceremony under a nearby oak tree. Alas, everything was another extra charge from table linens to an optional horse drawn carriage. That didn't count flowers, food, drink, etc. It seems that you are sitting on a gold mine! Seriously, I am so happy for Peter and his bride. I'm sure the wedding will be wonderful.Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13842711799199331211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-53940297292101744272012-02-15T22:22:45.527-05:002012-02-15T22:22:45.527-05:00What wonderful news!

It will be much fun to have this wedding at the farm. <br /><br />We are also invited to a wedding, the last week of July – in Chicago. My daughter’s brother in law is marrying a young Indian lady from there. It will be like my daughter’s wedding – most of the guests are from the Kerala region of India and will wear traditional Indian clothing. But in any clothing and any tradition weddings are a time of rejoicing and they both will be fun.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-76040598014656133692012-02-15T20:47:07.999-05:002012-02-15T20:47:07.999-05:00Have I been reading your blog this long?
