Today my Hannah and I went to the Wyeth-Tootle mansion to draw out floor plans for her wedding. I remember touring this museum when I was a school girl. Back then it seemed huge. As we went from room to room figuring out where the cake table should go~ how the food will be displayed~ where we wanted to decorate and what we still needed to do~ I couldn't help but remember all the field trip tours. In the end we decided the historical building stands on its own~not much decorating will need to be done.
Caleb toured the entire museum and was impressed. The guest will be able to tour the entire three floors which actually contain some of Jesse James' belongings. It even has a children's room for the smaller guest.
It was fun planning out her special day. Bittersweet~ how in the world has time slipped away so fast. In my heart I still feel like that little girl viewing the building through my childhood eyes~ and now I am marrying my baby daughter. I am so excited for her and Jacob but I am sure going to miss my gypsy girl. She truly has been a ball of sunshine in our home all these years.
I have been asked to share wedding details and I will after the wedding. It will be a small wedding with immediate family only. The reception will also be here at the mansion which will be a catered dinner of roast beef. I am seeing yellow in my sleep but that is pretty okay since it is my favorite color. The building is very historical and vintage. My Hannah has chosen all the things I truly love~ imagine that!

Oh Carrie - what a beautiful location for a wedding! I will have to take a tour of that mansion or stately home as we used to call them in England. I think you are right it stands on its own and will not need much embellishing but I'm sure you will relish decorating the tables which are always a focal point at weddings.
ReplyDeleteBittersweet I know and it is something which still lies ahead for me God willing. I like the idea of a small wedding with immediate family only - there is something quite lovely and intimate about that. So wonderful that Hannah has chosen what you truly love.
I have a poem that I wrote years ago for parents of the bride. I have given it to a number of friends who had daughters getting married. I will have to send it to you - it is meant to be read before the bride walks down the aisle.
Savour all those preparations - the day will be here in the blink of an eye!
Can't wait for all the details and photos (hint, hint). I'm sure your gypsy girl will be beautiful.

A museum...? That is an interesting idea that I have never heard of before :) I hope they have a splendid day indeed!
