Hi!

So we have a date and a location for the wedding. It's going to be on October 12 in Wheaton, Maryland (USA).

We're going to be having a reception/jam session after the ceremony. If there are any Mudcatters who would like to share this special day and/or make a little music with us, please PM either Jack the Sailor or CarolC, and let us know.

Jack the Sailor (Rob Dale) & CarolC (Carol Cunningham)

I am going to do my best to get there, even though I start school two days later!

Anyone going from Toronto who can give me a ride? We can stay somewhere the day before and the night of, then swing back home the day after. Sound good? PM, please.

I can't, wish I could. Maw in Law will be here killing something and besides, it's a 3 day drive to DC Area. Have fun!

Sorcha --

If your mother in law is going to show up ready to kill something, why not go to the wedding anyway? That way you can ensure it isn't you!

Damndest thing...I can't think about going cause my mom is getting married on October 12. To a nice gentleman from her Unitarian congregation, who, like mom, was widowed last year after a long period of time as an Alzheimer's caregiver.

All I can say is, Cupid works in tres-mysterious ways.

I might make it to FSGW though.

Plan on and best of wishes.

Many hearty congratulations to CarolC and JacktheSailor, my two favorite American friends.

I would love to come to the celebration of your love for each other. Unfortunately, the zionist Sharon will not let me return home should I leave and your Bush has made it clear that I am unwelcome on his "turf." But you know that the best wishes of our people will be with you on that day.

Maybe we'll send a martyr to Tel Aviv in your honor.

Well, shake my bones and rock-a my soul!
Carol C's got her very own troll!!
His head's too big for a normal hat,
And he thinks he's Yassir Arafat!
He's in there plugging, raising sparks
With anti-Zionist remarks!
But you guys just keep rocking and rollin',
And leave that a**hole to his trollin'!
He's a wannabe has-been, got no soul,
But -- what's a day without a troll?

Happiest of weddnin's to the two of youse!

Jack and Carol, wonderful news, but my rotten luck on dates. I live 5 minutes from Wheaton. Susette and I could have made music with you and celebrated your nuptuals. But we're out of town that weekend. I've bought the tickets already. Are you staying around for the Getaway the following weekend? I hope so. We can join you there and have a glass of champagne or your pleasure. I'm dreadfully sorry we'll miss your wedding and reception.

regrets, and best wishes, Chance

Sorry Carol, but I'm doing a bluegrass festival at the Peter Burr farm that entire weekend. Mary and Sharon will also be there as "LarkFire" with Charlie and Robbie. This week we've got the Hammmered Dulcimer Festival in town and that means back to back jams, so I will be busy. I did pass on the news to the others and they all say Hi, and Congratulations.

Incidently, the check was delivered to Mary. When you get back, just bang on the wall when you want to introduce Rob...

JACK and CarolC. When you get to Wheaton be sure you stop in at the Royal Mile Pub on Price Avenue. Just tell the bartender, Julie or Pete to let Chance buy your first pint or iced tea or whatever. Be sure, Jack, you tell the owners, Ray and Joie, that you came all the way down from Newfoundland just to have a pint at the 'Mile. Cheers, and best wishes, Chance

Jack and Carol,

Congratulations on your upcoming marriage.  Though I haven't met either of you (except in cyberspace), I'd love to join other Mudcatters in helping celebrate your wedding in song.  Time was when I'd have been able (and willing) to hop in the car and drive from Philadelphia or Toronto and drive to DC for a day and then go back the next.  Now I live on the west coast and, as Mark C. says, "it's a long walk."

So I'll just have to join all of you in spirit, along with Mark.

Genie

(Hey, guys, I'm jealous.  You're getting wedding posts from Kinky F. -- my favorite Jewish curmudgeon/songwiter.)

YA in Ramallah ("Unfortunately, the zionist Sharon will not let me return home should I leave...")  I take it that's Prime Minister Sharon, not our own Mudcatter Sharon.

Let us know by PM, where the reception will be, okay? Time, and everything. Can I bring big-Z and little-z? (Zither and zither-Harp)? And would you like us to spread the word to local Catters who may have missed this thread?

Will answer your e-mail about the Getaway after I do a little checking....

Bill D and Ferrara, we would be thrilled if the two of you would be there with whatever instruments you care to bring. If you're offering to take some pictures, Bill, that would be great.

Thanks for the offer, Fortunato. We'll have to see closer to the 15th whether or not that will be possible. But either way, we look forward to meeting you at the Getaway.

Wow, DougR! I hadn't thought of that! That's just one more thing to be thankful for ;-)

CC & JTS...

Received your Wedding Invite in the mail, thanks!! :)

Can you clear up some confusion for me? In a couple of posts/threads here you state that the date of the wedding is OCT 12 (a Saturday), but the Wedding Invite says October 10(a Thursday). So can you clear that up for me?

I sure would like to attend with my partner, James! I'm hoping that it IS the Saturday, Oct 12.

Bless you both!

Hi Jande! We goofed on the invitations. The October 10 date that you see in there is incorrect. The wedding is going to be on October 12.

We also forgot to include the time for the ceremony which is 4:00 PM. Thanks for pointing out the mistake. We've got a lot of phone calls to make and corrections to mail out.

Thanks for the quick response, Carol! James and I were leaning towards using up a couple more of his few remaining vacation days for this. Now we don't need to do so.

I also didn't notice an RSVP on the Invite. Shall we let you know if we're able to be there?
