Katrina & Brad Are Married

Hello, this is Hans. 

I started reading these posts again and I realized that it's a good chronology of what we have done over the years, so I should really be keeping up on this blog, and make it interesting to read again.

There are changes afoot, as it should be, and I need to document them for friends and family to enjoy.

As I had mentioned, Katrina and Bradley have been married:

Here is the young couple, freshly married on September 22nd, 2017.

A side view. I have to admit to actually making (sewing) Katrina's wedding gown and lace bolero overlay. Due to a close call from a hurricane, the wedding was almost delayed, but after moving Katrina's grandmother to Jacksonville, FL and back after the hurricane passed, I had only 2 days (48 hours) to make this dress. I told everybody to leave me alone, called Katrina in for 3 in-process trial fittings, and somehow, it was done.

Due to Bradley's heritage, the groomsmen were all decked out in kilts and poet's blouses, while the bridesmaids were a little more free-form in the clothing selection.

And, a lean-in view from the bridesmaid side.

The newly wedded couple and officiant, Miranda, a good friend of ours.

This was a Celtic wedding with a hand-fasting, sand-union ceremony and yes, Miranda is wearing a set of wings, which we asked her to.

The 'get away' down the aisle and on their way to the reception, which was held at the same place the ceremony was performed. Just walk over into the building and there you are.

This is Luann's favorite picture, which she has as the screen view on her cellphone.

More coming soon, I promise!
