Detailed Plans

Video: we are trying to put together video of all the grandchildren sharing some memories, and will have this edited to use between pictures - Terri is in charge of the end product.

Program:
Guests to arrive at 1pm- we will immediately begin the buffet line and have everyone seated, then will have Mama and Daddy come in after 1:30- they may be so blown away- we might have to let them sit down right away- if they are OK, we'll let them go around to the tables for a little while.
*Mary Jo and Bob Givens have agreed to be MCs, we will ask uncle Dub and Felix to speak, and a few others from out of town friends who will hopefully be able to make the long trip, but of course anyone can share if they'd like to speak.
We would like to share how they met and all the places they have lived during their lifetime.
*Mary Turner, Erin and Haley's voice/piano teacher will be playing for us during lunch and accompanying them during a few songs.
*Video
* Let Mama and Daddy speak if they would like, then cut the cake- then mingling until the end.
We decided on a 4 tiered wedding cake (they never had one after their wedding by a justice of the peace) with pale green icing, white lace detail, topped by blue hydrangeas. 2 layers of chocolate cake, one vanilla with pineapple filling, one vanilla with raspberry filling- YUM!

Becky and Jana working on decorations and food, invitations went out this week, Terri working on video, Jill working on favors and program- did I leave anything out?
I'm getting really excited!! Hope many people come, and hope we can fit them in this fellowship hall!
