Dear Brides

Are you watching this series? It’s been wonderful. As is always the case with Lyn Johnson, she focuses on the human. You don’t have to always agree with her, but you have to laugh!

One of the things I’ve loved about this run is the way that they’re making a commu­nity affair. Everyone’s a lot happier because everyone’s partic­i­pating. Just because it came from a comic strip doesn’t mean it’s bad advice!

Ask the people who love you to play in your wedding lala­paloosa! Why should you be the only one having a good time?

Dear Brides,

I can’t endorse entirely since I haven’t used it or seen it used. But if I had known they existed, I would have used them! What a great idea this is: www.liveweddingbroadcast.tv

So many of us have people from far away who can’t make it to our wedding and who would love to watch. This is a way for them to be present. It doesn’t solve the inter­ac­tion thing which is so impor­tant in my weddings, but it does allow them to be there.

I solved the inter­ac­tion piece with a cell phone. But this would have been a much better way for my new daughter to be at our wedding. darn. missed it. maybe we should do it again!

Go ahead and exper­i­ment. as long as things don’t get in the way of the wedding cere­mony, see how you can bring folks at a distance closer. You’d need a phone card in your computer to make this work at most wedding venues, but it might be worth it!

More great stuff ahead!

Whoopee! 6 mos ago on Saturday at 3:15 p.m., the feather fairies started down the aisles.

we’ve been watching the video (no we still haven’t figured out how to upload, but school starts school and there’s prob­ably a fifth grader who wants to take over the site manage­ment. sheesh!) and reveling in how very happy and lucky we are!

life is grand and so are all of you!
