What a wedding! and Baldur he is a cagey one.
That outfit of his was clearly intentionally planned to cause people to notice him. Most male guests wore sports jackets in shades of navy, black or grey, but no, not him.
There was one particular dapper gentleman in black who looked rather like Wyatt Earp. He monopolized my time on the dancefloor.
I felt for sure he must be married with such piercing eyes, glorious moustachio and heavy wrought gold watch chain. Luckily this was not the case.
Your Auntie B casually mentioned that she would be in New Orleans next week. With great acting skills 'Wyatt' said 'Of all the dang coincidences, SO SHALL I!'.
Of course I do not believe that those had been his plans before that very moment. Nonetheless will will be having dinner at Brennan's.

But I digress, the wedding was loverly.
The church was small, much more a chapel to my thinking.
The bride wore beige, not as daring as it could have been.
The groom was indeed quite attractive in his black suit with antique white rose boutonierre. I believe Jonah never looked finer.
Baldur noticed a relative he not seen in many a year, that being his grandfather's brother Phillip. Phillip had his second wife, Macedonia with him. She was also charming. We must go out for coffee some day.
Macedonia and I were playing a little game amongst ourselves.
As other guests strolled past we debated which decade their outfits best represented. The wedding was mostly a mishmash of 1980's clothing with a dash of 1970's thrown in.
Baldur was definitely 1970s.
I suspect that Macedonia and myself were the only 2 with up to date wardobes.
Wyatt of course carried the 1880s singlehandedly.

It was quite exciting to see Jonah and Albina doing the polka.
In general polkas are exciting. 'Wyatt's' watch chain whipped around dangerously as we whirled about the floor.
It was also fun watching for wardrobe malfunctions. Things were popping out all over on the dancefloor. Nancy Grace and Janet Jackson had nothing on this crowd.

Well I am quite tired and am headed off to soak in a nice bubble bath
Goodnight all!

Wow, that was amazing. Thank you for sharing

Those were amazing. Some reminded me quite a bit of Dali and others of Escher. That takes a lot of talent and imagination.

Baldur received a very important notice on Facebook last night. It surprises me that it hasn't gotten more press coverage.
Here it is:

To the... citizens of the United States of America from Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II:

In light of your immediate failure to financially manage yourselves and also in recent years your tendency to elect incompetent Representatives to your Congress and therefore not able to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. (You should look up 'revocation' in the Oxford English Dictionary.)

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except Kansas , which she does not fancy).

Your new Prime Minister, David Cameron, will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections.

Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated sometime next year to determine whether any of you noticed.

To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:

1. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour,' 'favour,' 'labour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and the suffix '-ize' will be replaced by the suffix '-ise.'Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up 'vocabulary'). (I love that one)


Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as ''like' and 'you know' is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as U.S. English. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take into account the reinstated letter 'u'' and the elimination of '-ize.' ' (I love that one too)

3. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday.

4. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not quite ready to be independent. Guns should only be used for shooting grouse. If you can't sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist, then you're not ready to shoot grouse.

5. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. Although a permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.

6. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left side with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.

7. The former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline) of roughly $10/US gallon. Get used to it.)

8.You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar.

9. The cold, tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. New Zealand beer is also acceptable, as New Zealand is pound for pound the greatest sporting nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer. They are also part of the British Commonwealth - see what it did for them. American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.

10. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie Macdowell attempt English dialogue in Four Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater.

11. You will cease playing American football. There are only two kinds of proper football; one you call soccer, and rugby (dominated by the New Zealanders). Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies).

12. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside of America . Since only 2.1% of you are aware there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the Australians (World dominators) first to take the sting out of their deliveries.

13. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad.

14. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776).

15. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 p.m. with proper cups, with saucers, and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season.

God Save the Queen
