> The reading of the Banns of Marriage between Don Maelgwynn Dda of the 
> Barony of
> Bryn Gwlad and H.L. Willoc mac Muiredaig of the Barony of Loch 
> Soilleir will be
> done at the Defenders of the Rose.
> 
> The tradition of reading Banns is to announce an impending marriage 
> to the
> parishes of both parties. Our actual wedding ceremony will be small 
> and
> mundane, so this is our opportunity to share our joy with you, our 
> friends in
> the SCA.
> 
> Our mundane parishes follow a strict tradition of "we meet, we eat." 
> Therefore,
> as the Banns are read, we will invite the populace to join us for a 
> luncheon in
> the Late Roman style, prepared by Lord Alfred Huddlestone, 
> apprenticed to
> Mistress Clarissa de la Firenze. The planned menu is as follows:
> - Mini bread loaves with Savory Toasted Cheese
> - Roast Brisket, marinated and shish-kabobed
> - Sautèd Mushrooms and Onions
> - Pickled and marinated Vegetables
> - Mixed Fruit salad
> - A Dessert of Dates
> 
> Be assured that, while we both take the religious significance 
> seriously, the
> banns are not required nor restricted by our mundane church, and we 
> are more
> interested in the historical affect on the community - that is, the 
> announcement
> & approval by our local "baronial parishes" of this marriage. NO 
> long ceremony is
> planned - just an announcement & food.
> 
> In Service to the Dream,
> H.L. Willoc mac Muiredaig
