> Greetings Ansteorra,
>
> Zaharra and I would like to publicly thank all of the folks who made our
> wedding the beautiful event that it was. God has so richly blessed us
> that I can't begin to tell you all how fortunate we are to have such
> good and true friends.
>
> OK, here we go in no real particular order.
>
> First of are our parents.
> Joe Moss helped me build the stage, iconostasis, cross, and frame for
> the stained glass window. He even consented to wearing outlandish
> cothing. I am lucky to have such a man as my father-in-law.
> Becky Moss made us a fabulous wedding quilt and help immensely with the
> stained glass window and sewed her own beautiful Spanish dress.
> Allan Eddy flew all the way from Iowa and wore a long tunic for the
> event. Thanks for being there!
> Carol Eddy sewed the Byzantine clothes that Dad and Mom wore. I was
> impressed with her results. I have some copetition, I guess.
> Matt and Ben Eddy, the mysterious Bob and Joe Skleros, for coming from
> Ft. Lewis, WA and Ames, IA respectively and putting up with all this
> nonsense and for wearing Byzantine clothes and, of course, for standing
> with me.
> My Grandma (89) for flying down all this way. I know it was arduous.
> Dar, the shutterbug, thank you, thank you, thank you. Fot taking
> pictures and just for sharing the experience.
> Aunt Nora, Jess and Emily. They actually borrowed clothes and had a good
> time to boot thanks to wonderful Ansteorrans.
> Mistress Jehanne for being the pusher, prodder, chastizer, realist,
> planner, and mother to both of us throughout the whole planning of the
> wedding as well as the wedding itself. She was also half of the
> seamstress team for Zaharra's fabulous dress.
> Mistress Ariella helped with the wedding dress and the tournament dress
> and directed from behind the scenes.
> Sir Dieterich for researching and running and kickbutt tournament in
> Zaharra's honor. What a treat! I heard nothing, but high praise and word
> fame from the combatants.
> The men-of-the-cloth were Baron Theodric Afhaims who literally left the
> hospital to be our Orthodox priest. Great work! Will was the Catholic
> preist and did the Latin and Spanish so perfectly. I heard that they
> were blessing the combatants at the tourney, cool! Bob Plate is the
> mundane pastor who married Scot and Domino and really enjoyed himself.
> He and his wife were very impressed with the friendliness of the
> populace.
> Tempio let us borrow the viewing stand that was, I believe, the envy of
> the list field. Vivat Tempio!
> Bryn Gwlad, thank you very much for allowing us the use of your event
> site. Your generosity overwhelmed us.
> Lorin and Sibilla put together a wonderful reception at the list field
> with the food cooked by Lorin's hubby Will. A married priest? Hmmm. No,
> but he is a professional chef.
> Thank you Sibilla for working so hard and for standing up with Domino
> for the wedding.
> Lorin and Will (they're a team so we have to mention them together even
> though Will has gotten previous billing) sewed, researched, helped, and
> cooked. What super friends. Thanks a lot!
> Tammy
> Thank you so very much to the combatants in the list Sir Godwin, Sir
> Drake, Prince Daphyyd, Sir Maxmillian, Lord Constantine, Honorable Lord
> Romanius, Graf Galen, Duke Kein, The soon-to-be Cavallarios Timotheus,
> and Sir Emyrus for an incredible tournament. We heard nothing but
> reports of shining sxamples of chivalry and honor.
> Gala Cunningham helped with decorations, a belt.
> Don Savien and Claire loaned us the crucifix and other Church
> acutrements that added so much to the atmosphere. Claire also stood for
> 1/2 hour hour with an umbrella to shade my Grandma. Thanks!
> Guido took pictures of the wedding which, I'm sure, we'll enjoy for
> years and years.
> Clarissa and Mistress Meaddh helped with wonderful foods for the
> reception afterwards. Almost none of it survived. Hmmm, wonder why. ;)
> Claire, Ebergardes, and Ari helped put together several ribbon poles.
> Brian Cameron and Don Elue transported and helped put up the pavillions
> for the wedding party and reception.
> Baroness Saraphina had beautiful garlands and flowers which added just
> the right touch.
> Caitlin (wedding crown bearer), Carina (ring bearer), Christa (dowry
> bearer) and Sam (acolyte) were our young helpers in the wedding party.

> Jehan and Baroness Clarissa for letting them participate.
> Gwenthian was the server for the Sat. reception at the list field.
> Thanks for helping out there!
> The musicians of Ansteorra serenaded Lady Zaharra with several Spanish
> songs which brought her to tears. She was touched.
> We headed out for our honeymoon (I highly suggest a moonlit ride on the
> riverwalk in San Antonio) and left the packing and cleaning to a handful
> of friends and family. Thank you so much for taking that off our hands
> and letting us leave early to enjoy our mini-honeymoon.
> I sincerely hope that we didn't leave out anyone, but since the endeavor
> was so large I'm afraid we did. If we left out your name we apologize.
> It wasn't intentional.
>
> See, I warned you it was long. Again a huge THANK YOU to all who helped,
> attended, and had kind words and congratulations for us. God is good to
> us!
>
> Grace and Peace
