Maris Stella

We had a very nice weekend in Avalon this past weekend. We accomplished a bunch for the wedding, and I'll start with the church. Maris Stella Church is about one mile away from my parents' house, and about a mile and a half from the reception hall. We filled out some paperwork with the super friendly (ha. ha.) lady at the rectory, so things finally feel official. After meeting with the florist, we're going to have two big flower arrangements up at the altar. In that picture up above, that's my mom and I up on the right. Oh yeah, and I imagine the lights will be on during the ceremony (unlike the picture).

I'm not sure yet how to get pew decorations to work - let me know if you have any ideas. Of course, we can't use tape or glue or nails, so I think the ribbon is going to need to go around the whole seat back, and maybe pinned or velcroed in the back. Then we could attach a bow facing the aisle. Pat's arm is up against the seat back for scale. There are 23 pews.
