Dan the Dragon Slayer and Duchess Anna of Beaver (Bride is tired but fortunately she photgraphs well and a nice smile hides this from the camera. The groom looked rested and relaxed) |
On Monday October 8 many of the principal protagonists in the
Beaver and Duffy nuptials had arrived to St. Simons Island, Ga. The leading man and lady, Dan and Anna, joined
the Maid of the Mist and Tom the Often Wise, the groom’s parents, already based
in St. Simons and who have been busy holding down the fort and getting things
ready.
Colonel Gary, the bride’s dad, was also on hand, making the
trip from Greensboro and getting settled in his poolside officer’s quarters near Crab Daddys. Jane, the mother of the bride will arrive
soon, as will many more of the supporting actors including brothers,
grandparents, friends and other relatives.
Wedding Coordinator and Celebrant Were Replaced Just Days Before the Wedding
The big breaking story is that the Beaver/Duffy wedding coordinator
and ceremony celebrant had to be replaced just days before the wedding. According to “Deep Cleavage”, a BLOG confidential
informant, a careless Facebook posting disclosed that the coordinator and
celebrant were living the “dolce vita” rather than doing their jobs. Be careful what secrets you put on
your Facebook page.
Deep Cleavage will hopefully keep us informed on all the insider information on the Beaver/Duffy Wedding, much as Deep Throat unraveled the Watergate conspiracy.
The story seems to be that the coordinator and ceremony celebrant were vacationing in Europe, when they should have been at St. Simons Island during the crucial days before the Beaver/Duffy nuptials. This vacation faux pas was unacceptable and the coordinator and celebrant were dismissed. According to sources, the Bride was upset that so much work had gone into the wedding and now at the last minute she had to find a substitute celebrant plus someone has to fill in for the duties of the wedding coordinator. While people enjoy the rehearsal dinner, reception and other wedding activities; the wedding ceremony is the highlight of the event. It has to be right and paid professionals need to take their job seriously. The Groom, as usual was supportive of his Bride and took things in his usual relaxed stride.

We
will have more details on the substitute celebrant, if any? Or perhaps will the couple simply exchange vows and have no celebrant? Will this dolce vita holiday "spoil" the wedding? Who will assume the coordinator’s duties?
The test of course be on the wedding day, and hopefully this last minute hitch will
be unseen by the many guests attending.
But the BLOG readers have the inside story and know the lowdown on this dolce vita secret. The lesson is that first you earn the money then you do the dolce vita; not the other way around.
