Thank you

The Cook, Murial Eylers,  is a good friend of mine.  She agreed to cook the meal providing I buy the food to cook and help her train her horse.  Sounds fair to me.

  Our Photographer, Gene Keenum, is a "brother" to me. Once we requested (AKA twisted his arm) that he take the pictures (he usually doesn't do weddings), he offered to take the pictures if we paid for the development.  I also sweetened the deal my making arrangements to sell the copies of the pictures through this website (see the note above). 

Jenny and Joel Kamentz offered the use of their land, their home, their horses, and their theatrical expertise via the Trunk Show.  We literally could not have had the wedding we had with out them.  Jenny also cooked some awesome Chocolate ChessPies.

Lea and Chris Hehman also helped out with the horses, the costumes and the Trunk Show.

  The Best Man, Garry and one of the Ushers, Stuart M. got roped into helping with setting up the torches. 

My brother, Eric helped with the signs and assorted other little items.

Several of our friends, Shazia, Christian, provided Cakes for the meal.

Stuart M. also helped out by giving us the venison for the feast.

My mom, Gay, and grandmother, Iris, helped with the baking of bread, cleaning goblets and finishing off of sewing details (hems, napkins and such).

My sister-in-law, Karen provided the music (it is always a good thing to have professional musicians and artists in the family).

Marie-Anne, a good friend, volunteered her organizational skills to be our wedding coordinator (God Bless Her!).
Joel Horton did the videography, and got roped into playing St. George in the Trunk Show.

The barn girls, the Rohan Riding Academy Saddle Club, helped us the day of the wedding with the horses. 

The Vogel Family, Sheila, David and Kristin, were extremely helpful.  They pitched in and helped get the horses ready on Friday when for various reasons the barn girls couldn't make it, they also helped on Saturday offering their services as baby-sitters for my nieces and nephew and  by helping to cook and serve the food (You'll are Amazing!)

The minister, Jenny's Uncle Rex, came through like a champion, even with the strange wording of the medieval wedding ceremony.

Rondell's mom, Jannie,  and sister, Sandy, helped with last minute details, cooking, and set up.

Stuart W, Melissa's Fianc�, became the pitch hitter for any little job that no one else had claimed, including baby sitting the generator while the cook when home to change into her costume. 

My best friend, Melissa, probably had one of the hardest jobs, she had to run around with me the day before and of the wedding to make sure we had all of the last details together. 

There were countless others whom I'm sure I'm forgetting, however, there is no way we could have pulled off this wedding without their help and support.  Thank you all for your gifts of time, talent and patience and good humor.
Rondell and I want to thank all of the people who helped to make our wedding day such a wonderful event.   Without each of you, it would not have been possible.
  Thank you.
This wedding was put together with a shoe string budget on a wing and a prayer and a lot of helpful friends and famly.  Below you'll find out who helped and what they did.  Thanks you'll!
