So, due to Callistarya's emergency hysterectomy, we ended up having to cancel the wedding venue, reception, and rehearsal dinner.

Instead, we're doing everything here at the house. Which means the house is half-way done up for everything.

I thought I'd share some pics.

We have this kind of rose-and-diamonds and flowers thing going on all over the house. It's kind of fru-fru


here's a close-up of the roses-and-diamonds thing



The fireplace mantle is neat. The circular plaque was a wedding gift from my mom, and the silver tube is a scroll case with our names on it, for the wedding certificate.



Here's the menu for the reception dinner. I made a small tres leches torte and raspberry sauce with fresh raspberries today to practice, and it was very delicious


We're going to gussy up the dining room table quite a bit for the rehearsal...here it is about half-done.


I'm all antsy and ready for the show

Wow... Early congrats.

I thought about titling the post "ManBawwww!" to scare everyone into thinking we broke up

Very nice! Congrats! The menu sounds awesome.

Very nice! I'm pretty happy for you*!

*But imma let you finish?

Wow! That is really romantic :wub:

And talking about rehearsals... what's up with that? I don't know, we don't have wedding "rehearsals" over here and I think they're weird =/

Found you some wedding duds, in case you had to take yours back to the rental place due to the rescheduling.

Congrats, Tin!

I noticed this didn't happen until AFTER the epic win...

congrats you lucky bastard

Congratulations, Tin and Calli.

Now, I'm going to be VERY disappointed if I hear from you before Tuesday afternoon

Aww, the place looks lovely! Congrats to you both!

What CG said. Say, can we get a close-up of the plaque? I'm a sucker for Irish knot-work.

Our duds are paid for, GB....but I wouldn't mind a form fitting camel-toe looking thing like that for the strippers at the bachelorette party

My, my, how did such a timid and prudish man end up with such a wild woman?

Because I must, Tin ol' chum and Calli the chumette.

Oh wow... gorgeous.

It would've been better if it would've actually worked Damn YouTube and its embedding policies...

It was worth opening up a new tab.

Congrats Tinwhistler!

Congrats both of you.

Congrats to you both, and I demand tons and tons of pics afterwards!

Erm... of the wedding, that is.

Congrats you crazy cats.

Yup. I paid for the plane tickets and the cottage deposit months ago, long before the surgery scare thing.
Not going until mid July, though.

excellent.

Congrats...as a 17 year wedding veteran I hope you find all the happiness that you deserve.

Excellent! My congratulations, and as a sidenote, that menu looks delicious.
