grifyn will soon be, sometime today, [Bad username or unknown identity: Mrs. evenbiggerdog]. Congratulations are so due! (Yes, it's a friends-only journal, but congratulations are still in order.)

Got to thinking about my own dream wedding.

I already have my veil halfway made. I have the pattern and the material for my wedding dress. (The actual making of the dress will wait until it is actually time for the making of same, lest it be made in the wrong size.)

Mama makes an excellent cranberry cake, and it has become standard for weddings. Mmm. Yum. With cream cheese frosting. And birch logs! *snicker* (Family story: Mama and FatherSir had a cake with the top tier held up by birch logs. When they went to cut the cake, they didn't realize that there was a cardboard sheet that the logs were standing on. There was much laughter, and the top tier was rescued.)

Parties in my family are generally interesting and loud affairs, with kids running around and screeching, and people having jam sessions. As such, it would be only appropriate to retain whichever Celtic band, and have the wedding scheduled for a night that does not conflict with a scheduled contra dance, and throw that kind of party. Am thinking that the Dog Musher's Hall would be the ideal place, as there's plenty of room, and plenty of room for running around and screeching.

My family knows how to party. Details of exactly how to lay out everything to throw a party are not needed for those who are in the family; for those who have never experienced one of my family's parties, there is much in the way of good food, and fun. It's the sort of wedding that my parents had, and I'd like one like that, only with maybe more than two weeks prep time to allow all visitors to arrive...
