DogWedding

Hmmm, lots of good stuff in this Boomer Times. That's Mom's paper you know, bet she knew something was up.

She left in tears.

Stormie went to see the vet as any bride-to-be should do. After getting a very good exam she heard those words that will bring tears to any girls eyes, "You must lose two pounds before the wedding."

So Bogey, I think you need to talk to your fiancé.

Re: She left in tears.

Stormie my sweet, sweet Ivory Princess. Do not fret over two silly pounds! Mommy calls me her "big boy" cause I outweigh my brother AND sister by almost two pounds - so again - we are a match made in Furface Heaven! Relax and enjoy this magical time with your sisters and the mama - if the pounds come off, fine, if they don't - that is why they invented bridal alterations.

Stay tuned for the latest news ~ already promises to be the social event of the year!

Good grief! Now it's going to be a double. Go to: http://www.terrierclub.com/ ~ click on message board, then go to adventure section. I'm trying to keep up here but these kids are moving at lightning speed.

You and I have been sweethearts for two years now and I think that it is time for us to make it official. Will you make me the happiest Westie in the world and be my wife? Please accept these gifts as a symbol of my undying love. The pearls are a symbol of your pretty white fur and they hold a diamond heart to show that you will have mine forever. The doggie chocolates represent the fun and wonderful times we can have together in the future. Please say you will and we can plan a double wedding with your sister Stormie and Bogey. If you say yes, I will talk to Mr. Ed immediately and ask him for your paw in marriage. Please say you will.

All my undying love,

Oh my I am so surprised, I have loved you from the first dance. You are the only one who could capture the heart of the Wild Child. Yes I will marry you, I will accept the pearls, they stand for never-ending love, and the heart will show our love shining for all the world to see. Yes I think we should have a double wedding.

Mama Viscusi "just melted" when Phoenix put her head on Bullitt's back, "It was sweet to watch, it seemed as if they knew they were a couple."

Notice, Bullitt's black jacket (above) and that's a Westie on the poodle skirt

Mama Viscusi is a little worried, "I only have one more 'sister' left and her boyfriend is in UK."

This just in: Willie Talbert of Florida will be assisting his mom June with the floral arrangements which will include dainty ankle corsages.

Also, the official word on music: the theme from "The Godfather." What else would it be?

OK, it's official now ... the nice home with the padded rooms has reservations for moms of the brides, and grooms, and all their cohorts ('fraid that includes me):

To Eve (Mama Viscusi):

Hobby Lobby had honeycomb bells on clearance. Bought the last two packs - two 6-inch bells in each - lavender of course. Michael's had the cutest little notepad gift sets - three styles - all in lavender. We figured about six tables for guests, right? THEN I bought a package of tiny lavender drawstring favor bags with satin ties. I will have those filled with tiny doggy treats.

~~~

To Rose (Mama English):

Eve and Sue have been making brides dresses for the last two nights at Sue's house. Sue's husband just looks at Sue and Eve and shakes his head.

Sue had a fun time trying to explain to the fabric store lady why she needs lavender material with spider web lace (following the Halloween theme).

Don't forget the lady who overheard Eve and her son saying, "It's a shame we can't get a little gold wedding band over one of her toes since she doesn't wear shoes." As they left, the lady was staring at them. David said he wished he'd known she was listening, he would have made a comment about shaving the bride's toes so the ring could be seen.

Eve also is bringing a string of white bell tissue garland to string up at the Terrier Club tent. We may be nutz, but we're having a great time.

Ed (Papa Viscusi)

Back to Rose:

So I'm filling up the favor bags ... perfect doggy size.

And here's the pitiful scene to my immediate left - see my leg on the chair?

Here's a better idea of how tiny they are - of course Miss Shani wanted to "help."

The decoration stockpile had already grown to considerable size, before the favor bags were added. I can't wait to see what's next. I really think a floral arch is in order now.

two garlands for the food table with matching bells in a pearlized white shade, and these DAHHHHLING little bear cake toppers. I am ordering a sheet cake so we can put them on either side, one for each couple. ~ Mama English

Next ~ favors for the head table,

Extra preview note ~ as their something old, both brides will wear charms holding special photos of family members.

The couples will exchange wedding medallions. The paw on the heart signifies how they have left their pawprints forever on each other's hearts ~ and the wings mean that their love will always surround them.

The brides and grooms have requested, in lieu of gifts, donations in their names might go to rescue funds so others can have a fairy tale story like theirs. That's an idea worth consideration by two-legged types too.
