BEAVER/DUFFY WEDDING MINUS 4 DAYS AND COUNTING

 

 

Reverend Randy to the Rescue

On Tuesday, October 9, the BLOG learned that Reverend Randy, an ordained Presbyterian minister, will officiate the Beaver/Duffy nuptials.  The Rev. J. Randy Hall is the pastor of Fairmont Presbyterian Church (PCUSA) in Lexington, NC .

 The Duffy side of the family may not know that Reverend Randy is also the consort of Countess Jane, the mother of the bride. 

You may recall from the earlier BLOG, that the Beaver/Duffy Wedding had no celebrant due to a "dolce vita" fiasco, just days before the cermony.    Another celebrant had to found, and quick.   Reverend Randy stepped in to take the place of the dismissed “dolce vita” vacationing celebrant.  Obviously the dolce vicar thought little of how important this day is in the lives of Anna and Dan.  Better to have someone, as Reverend Randy who knows the bride and groom and wants this day to be perfect for them, besides he might do it "pro bono".   

The ceremony will be at Epworth by the Sea, a picturesque Methodist Conference Center just north of the village of St. Simons Island, on the Frederica River.   The Wedding Day weather forecast is for good to very good weather.  See the link below for more pictures of this special place where the couple will exchange their vows.  http://www.epworthbythesea.org/

Two More Confidential Informants

The BLOG has recruited two more informants to help bring you the best insider information.   “Hot Lips” is a well-connected person who is driven to find the truth and knows when her sources are holding back secrets.  Also “RON” will be sharing whatever he learns about the Beaver-Duffy nuptials.  Not to worry, Deep Cleavage, who broke the “dolce vita” story ,  is still a valued source.  In working confidential informants, the BLOG tries to confirm stories by having several informants work independently.  We are still looking for a few good men, or women.  Annonymous tips can also be sent to artesiano@yahoo.com
 

In and Around St. Simons Island

More of the wedding guests are starting to arrive on the island.  Those that can are relaxing a bit before the main event, but many have wedding responsibilities and are getting key tasks finalized. 

Colonel Gary, Vanna Lynn, Chris (Lynn’s son) his Lordship, and Phillip of the House of Rum and Coke played golf in nearby Jekyll Island.  No reports on what the Bride and Groom did today, but Mr. FOG followed Maid of the Mist and Tom the Often Wise to see where they were going.  They went to Harris Teeter to buy groceries and they shop the specials.  Maid often asks Often Wise to go get something for her while she tends the cart and she finds other things.  They seemed to be an effective grocery shopping tag team couple.  Often Wise discovered FOG and his cover was blown.  Maid of the Mist suggested that FOG should buy the Artisan pumpernickel bread which was on sale.

In the evening, we were back to Colonel Gary’s Officers Quarters for a pizza get together, which presented another picture taking opportunity. 


Perhaps blondes do have more fun???

Charley the PUG, the Bride's understudy,  eagerly tries on the bridal gownjust in case she is needed.
Shouldn't Dan be told, and does Dan have an understudy also???
