I have had many requests for more information, so I will tell you all what we know so far.... The wedding is being held at the Woman's Club of Portsmouth (VA) at 304 Sycamore Rd. It is a beautiful club which used to be a regular SCA winter site years ago. If any of you have ever attended an event called Midwinter's Masque (held until 2 years ago by the Barony of Marinus), you will recognise this event style. Since it is the bride's favorite event, it is no longer held by Marinus, and it is traditionally held in winter, THL Elspeth has decided to adopt this format for her wedding. The proposed price for the "unofficial event" is $8 for adults and $4 for children 6-12 (in advance) and $10/$5 at the door. As is customary, children under 6 are guests of the bride and groom. The proposed schedule is as follows: 8:00 Site opens for wedding setup only 11:00 Wedding in the main hall- this is optional for garb or mundane clothes as it is not part of the event 12:00 Troll opens in the main hall Gaming begins in the sunroom Ladies changing-upstairs Lord's changing-workroom A&S competition tables setup in main hall Merchants can begin setting up in main hall 2:00-4:00 Dance class in main hall Kissing and reverance contests during dance class Gaming continues in the sunroom Judging of A&S competitions Feast prep in kitchen and workroom Lord's changing moves into dining room Children's games in workroom partition 6:00-8:00 Feast in main hall near the stage 8:00-11:00 Masqued Ball in main hall Gaming continues Bardic circle setup in workroom 11:00-12:00 Clean up and vacate hall by 12:30 The proposed menu at this time includes: 1st course Cheese and Bread Butters Red wine, onion and beef stew 2nd course Salmon loaves Savory cheese with asparagus 3rd course Roast chicken with oatmeal stuffing honey glazed carrots 4th course Home baked breads and butters 5th course Rubbed venison roast Rice flourentine 6th course The bride's favorite desserts--ask a Marinusian about this surprise! The planned drinks are iced tea and limeade (or lemonade). The kitchen steward will be your humble servant Brenna of Lyonsbane and the steward will be the bride (THL Elspeth). I will post more information as it becomes available. Brenna
