Family weekend

[grnvixen]

The wedding went off pretty much without a hitch. The bride was nervous, clung to her dad's arm down the aisle but seemed to get her feet back under her once she arrived. It was a comfy sized group in attendance, who pretty much all came to the reception/dinner afterwards. There was a dance floor, what was mostly used by the very very young kids (2 - 6 yrs) to begin with. A mixed older crowd joined them after dinner.

I can now post the pic of the wedding dress:
This was at the final fitting a week ago sunday, she was a little excited :)> Her hair was done up in a bouffant for the wedding, I think I like this a little better. Perfect dress for her, she was a fairy princess!

On the home front I FINALLY found new cabinet handles for the kitchen, they arrived and Himself got them all installed this weekend. This has been an ongoing process to update the kitchen. It had good 'bones', but yellow plaid wallpaper and old, dark colonial style handles. It proved a bigger job than I thought to find new, simpler handles, as the drill holes for the old ones were a slightly unusual size and we really didn't want to redrill over 30 cabinets and drawers to fit new ones. They make a big difference in the loook of the kitchen. I suppose that eventually new counter tops would be nice but I think the floor may demand attention before then: it is linoleum, in two pieces, and starting to come up in at least one spot. Also up for consideration, what with the new handles, is a new light fixture. Why is it a redecorating job never seems to be done :).

Ooooo, pretty pretty pretty! God grant them many years!

No fair no pics of your kitchen! We want to see yellow plaid wallpaper! You've "seen" my I'm-bored-with-white paintjob... :-)

The plaid wallpaper is looong gone, and not missed in the slightest! Walls are now a sagey green, to match the ivy Corelle dishes :).

Aw, you're no fun! ;-)
I want my bedroom to be sage green. I want my kitchen to be butter-yellow. Some day. Of course first I have to nag Himself into finishing the front room. Humph.

Very pretty bride! And I feel your pain in the "now that the handles are done, it makes the floor look bad ... now that the floor is done, the walls looks bad ... etc " We've been here 10 years and I constantly go thru that cycle. We should try to find someplace that will give us a special discount for group projects!
