As you can see from the dates of the posts, the wedding date has come and gone.

The weather demons were feeling vengeful on May 12th. After some days at 70-degrees, the temp dropped to 40-45 for an outdoor wedding. I had packed a silk shirt and a wool poncho, and when the temperature plummeted, I added an undershirt from my husband to add real class to the ensemble. (It didn't matter what I wore because I never took the poncho off.) Or the wool hat from my previous trip to Iceland.

For some reason, the wedding started an hour and a half late while we all stood around near Minnehaha Falls. Fortunately, there were no babies or preschoolers in attendance, and all the adults were Cheerful Charlies.

I kept the mouthpiece of my recorder tucked into the waistband of my slacks, near the pocket, and that did the trick. Thus the components of the warming system were:

leeneia's abdomen (heat-generating system)
slacks waistband
man's cotton T-shirt
silk blouse
wool poncho

My brother (cello) and I played some Renaissance Dance music as a prelude, he played "Jesu, Joy" for the march, and we ended with another Renaissance piece. During the ceremony, the mouthpiece returned to the waistband, of course.

After the ceremony we drove to another park building that had a circular central fireplace that warmed one surface of a person from the knees up. Those Minnesotans are tough!

It took a long soak in a hot tub to return me to normal, but it was worth it.
