To Our Dear Family and Friends…
We
are so pleased and grateful to be able to announce our upcoming marriage!
In keeping with our somewhat unconventional and ever-amusing outlook on
life, we want to invite you to our Medieval/Celtic themed ceremony at
the Maryland Renaissance Festival.
We want to celebrate the day with as many of our friends and family who
would like to attend.
Therefore, we ask that your only gift to us be your tickets into the faire
- your refreshments, your revelry, your debauchery - whatever… (Just
bear in mind that we will be located close to the stocks and the dungeon!).
We also want you to be comfortable!
So, if you choose NOT to wear your favorite pirate/wench/rogue/king/queen
garb or family kilt (and we hope you do!) - then wear weather appropriate,
comfortable shoes and casual clothes!
We look forward to seeing you there!
Wishing you Blessings of Love, Light and Peace,
Brian & Kim
Here is a Formal Invitation for you to print...
The wedding is scheduled to take place in front of “St. Georges Chapel” at 11:00am on October 4th 2003 RAIN OR SHINE.
If it rains we may be able to move the whole ceremony over to the “Dragon Inn” – or we’ll get wet!
We will be reveling at the “Dragon Inn” after the ceremony and we ask you to join us there for a toast and a turkey leg or two!
Then we can spend
the afternoon enjoying the jousting, shops, games, food, shows, atmosphere
and each other’s company! (The kids will have a great time –
archery, axe and spear throwing, elephant rides…)
