Practicing

I have quite a few things on the go right now, not the least of which is preparing for Baron and Naomi's wedding. It's taking almost as long as a real one, and there's still plenty to do.

In the meantime my dining room table is standing in for the cathedral.  I bought a huge piece of fabric at Value Village which I thought would make a good 'cathedral floor'.  Jan made two wooden partitions behind which the guests will sit.  Any dolls that are ready, get put into place so I can see how they will eventually look.

Lawrence and Baron have been best friends since they were boys, but as a King, Lawrence can't stand in as Baron's Best Man. So Naomi, who is an orphan, asked him if he'd walk her down the aisle.  He was honoured, and gladly accepted, and will do so without any of his royal accoutrements; no robes, no crown, nothing to distract from the bride on her special day....

 All the flower girls are part of the extended royal family, and daughters of Baron's friends. Two of them are Royal Princesses. Ringo, who is also dressed in blue, will be Ring Bearer.

 I cut a new, longer veil for Naomi, so Paige and Faye could hold it.

It's looking very impressive, even if I do say so myself. I just hope the photos of the actual ceremony turn out as good as I imagine. But before that, there's still lots to do to get ready. 

I need to finish some of the details of the Bishop's outfit, make circles out of the flooring fabric  to cover the guy's stands, make the carpet for the steps up to the alter, and dress any guests who aren't wearing appropriate 'period' costumes.  There will be a lot of guests, but I have to divide them by aesthetic.  All the Fashion sized ones will be together on one side, while all the JIDs and other MSDs will be together on the other side. Then there's still the flowers, and wedding decorations.  And the reception.  Like I said, almost as much work as a real wedding!!
