Good Night Groom - A Surprise Bachelor Party

Roland and Morgan have had a lovely day, and are just returning home from a beautiful sunset cruise.

Wait.  Roland senses an unusual shape among the shadows, and tenses, silently signaling to Morgan that there might be trouble.  "Who's there?" he calls out to the darkness.

A rustle of leaves, a muffled grunt, shadows move forward carefully avoiding the light.  Two break off and come forward.  One tall and lean, one shorter and stouter, both dressed in black suits and wearing sunglasses.  Roland gets the feeling that he's seen them before...

Clothing Recap

For ease of visualizing on the Big Day, I wanted to collect the images of what everyone will be wearing into one post. Like the "Flowers" post, this will be a long one. It summarizes the details from:

• The Bride's Gown
• LoH gowns
• Groomsmen's formal wear
• Flowers
• Ladies of Honor Accessories

One week out...

Or, one month on the compressed timeline :-). Since one of the last items is "Send a timeline to the bridal party," I'm posting this as a summary.

Day-of-ceremony timeline (UPDATED 2/13):
NOTE: Once again, since this is all being done kind of RPG-bluebook-style, we're not expecting people to actually be online and posting at these times. We'd like it if everyone is able to get their bits posted within a few days of the 14th, but we also recognize that people have real-space obligations. If any members of the wedding party missed seeing the rehearsal page, please let me know and I'll send the link.

Music

I was going to do two posts, one for ceremony music and one for reception music, but since I'm not including lots of links or embedded videos I've decided to do them both in one post. Some of these pieces have particular significance to one or both of us, but I'll get into those in the ceremony/reception posts.

Ladies of Honor Accessories

Given that even nice weather in February can mean cold evenings, I wanted to find a pretty way for my honorable ladies to stay warm :-). After looking at a few alternatives, I decided on these White Short Haired Faux Fake Fur Stole With Matching Muffs:

Cake topper

We were looking at earlier posts last night, and decided to go looking to see if we could find a cake topper we liked. We found a couple, but ended up choosing this one.

While there were a couple of other cute or pretty ones, this one was chosen for the reference to our original wedding day. If rain on the wedding day means blessings, then we were well and truly blessed!

Taking a look back at the cake, this would go on the front/lowest layer, not be a replacement for the castle.

Meet-and-Greet party

[This is intended as sort of an explanation of the general idea for the pre/post/ceremony/reception posts, and test run to see if there are any problems with the process that need to be addressed.]
