Announcing the upcoming wedding of Mr.Tex Rain and Miss Molly Blogger
Miss Molly Blogger, the blushing bride to be
The wedding planners are pleased to share the upcoming marriage of Mr. Tex Rain to Miss Molly Blogger. Rumors have been rampant so it is with much joy we are finally able to make it official. All of the plans came together at the recent Active Rain gathering in Bandera Texas at the Pomarosa RV Park. The scenic spot in the heart of the Hill Country was the perfect setting. Tex had decided to wait and spring the big question to Miss Molly during the gathering so he would have all his blogger buddies present and he also knew that each AR person present would certainly have their cameras ready to record the momentous occasion, and that they did. Tex who is the mascot for the Texas Real Estate group was introduced to everyone by founder Liz Carter, along with her partner in the group Marchel Peterson. Soon after Tex was officially made the groups mascot they voted on his name. Carl Winters who did some shady thing to make sure he was named Tex, introduced him to Miss Molly, and the rest as they say is history.
It has been a storybook romance on the range from the start, so none of us were to surprised when Tex mooed the question to Miss Molly while kneeling on his right hoof and leg. He presented her with an engagement ring that is white gold, and has a perfect image of Miss Molly's longhorn face on it. Then the fun really began with all the excitement of making plans for the upcoming wedding, which is sure to be the event of the year on Active Rain. We are sure the wedding will be attended by thousands of active rain bloggers as well as the Big Shots of AR. All of their fellow longhorns and other special guest will also be receiving wedding invitations shortly. Of course we also have the engagement party, the wedding showers to plan, and shopping trips to buy the many things needed for such a large and illustrious wedding. Oh and planning where they are going on their honeymoon...so many things to do and get ready for and talk about.
Miss Molly selected a wedding planning party which includes from left to right, Carl Winters,Debra A. Brooks, Judi Morgan, Liz Carter, Ceil Winters (now known as BWP), Marchel Peterson , Ricki Eichler, and not pictured, Dale Baker. We did make some arrangements after all the excitement died down. It will be a June wedding, and they decided to have the reception and wedding at the same spot where Tex mooed out his proposal of marriage to Miss Molly...he is so romantic. The group is standing in the pasture by the lake where the wedding is now scheduled to be held.
The spot will be perfect; it has a large pasture with a lake and lots of shade trees. Of course it will be an outdoor wedding to take full advantage of the breathtaking beauty of the Hill Country. The Tumbleweed Hotel is on site for guest staying overnight, the Stagecoach Saloon is right beside the hotel, and of course the large reception hall were we had our BBQ is there. There is parking for RV's, and lots of pastures for all their Longhorn friends to gather.
We will be meeting here on this post every Saturday night to finish out all the details, and everyone is invited to participate in the planning along with the Wedding Planners. Ms. Ceil Winters, now forever know as BWP will be in charge of the group. There are lots of decisions to make so please bring all your great ideas to the Saturday night meetings. Some things that need to be found and decided on are all the "normal" things for a glorious Longhorn Wedding. Bridesmaids, Groomsman, wedding party, colors, dresses, tux's or jeans, flowers, cakes, rings, honeymoon spots, party favors, invitations, places for the showers and engagement party, food, catering, transportation. Guess that should be one of our fist tasks...make of a list of items needed? So help spread the word about the Active Rain Engagement and upcoming Wedding of Mr. Tex Rain and Miss Molly Blogger. As I said it is sure to be THE EVENT OF THE YEAR ON ACTIVE RAIN, so make sure you get the date marked in your calendars...this is one wedding no one should miss! Everyone on active rain is invited, so watch for your invitations
Also everyone is welcome to come by and give Mr. Tex Rain & Miss Molly their ideals. Everyone and all their friends are talking about nothing else.
Did you see the expression on Miss Mollys face...priceless?
BEFORE YOU START READING THE COMMENTS OR MAKE ONE, TURN UP YOUR SPEAKERS, AND GET READY TO ROCK & ROLL...this song viedo will put a BIG smile on your face...enjoy, Liz
So many plans and so unnecessary! All they care about is the consummation! The rest is just for you.... Enjoy! P.S. Neither one of them is smiling; are you sure this is consensual?
Oh Ms. Liz, you have been busy with all these wedding plans for TEX Rain and Miss Molly. I'm beginning to think you are right; it is going to be a Texas size wedding. What if all 84,000 AR's participate in this Texas size shing-dig, they will need a whole wagon train to move all the presents to the new pasture.
Well Dale you have been busy. I'll have to get Ceil to take a look at all these wedding cakes and flowers. Looks to me like some major decisions will have to be made.
Hey everyone, I'm here finally!!! Looks like we have a lot of ideas to look over and help Miss Molly make some important decisions. I plan to take her shopping to set up the bridal registry's. Seems the store managers don't want Mr. Tex in their stores. Something about having a "Bull in a china shop being bad for business and inventory". Hmph...what do they know.
Hey Judi - Just checking in, I have seven minutes to get myself upstairs or the boss lady is going to turn out the lights. Did you go to Wimberly? Was it fun? Guess everybody else is still out on the town so will check in tomorrow morning.
Confession: Ceil had to help me with my new blog look. I was going to the wrong place and needed help with the upload. She used her software to help me with my pics. She's pretty good at some of that stuff.
Hi - Bob & Carolin,hope you get involved with our big even her on AR. L
Hi - Susan,shame on you, they really are deeply in love, the other is just icing on the cake, so to speak or Moo about. They did wag their tails a lot during our momentous day :). L
Hi - Annie Oakley, leave it to you to thing of a shoot gun wedding, are you sure your not from the South? Were is your sense of romance? Come on over anytime and play with us, remember I adopted you! L
Hi - Neal,now do I detect a sense of sarcasm there :)...this is serious business, a first, a triumph, a love story. L
Hi - Debra and Don, do yall know each other :)" Thanks so much I sill pass along your best wishes to the happy err couple. By the way they have told me they would really prefer cash to wedding gifts, so you can send the checks (their housing cost will be a bit large, so the $$$ needs to be large amounts, please) directly to meat my office and I'll make sure it gets deposited into their account, OK?L
PS, AR spell check is not working, so you will just have to forgive me and try to figure out what the hell I typed :) :)
Howdy - Dale,your back! Guess you know you got voted to have the position in the wedding part of "bringing up the rear", and we have a nifty scooper for you too. Hey, your a poet and I didn't know it! Love the hope chest, it will be needed, and the table flowers,& ring pillow. But I'm going to have to vote on Elizabeth's' wedding cakes. We need to start of list of which items we all agree on, with Miss Molly Blogger approval of course. I like her soon to be new name better, Miss Molly Rain, or she could keep her maiden name for Miss Molly Blogger Rain! Brought over the Ring set & grooms cakes, so we have everything in one place. L
Hi - Elizabeth, must be something to do with the name, my goodness you have just outdone yourself...we will have to vote and letting you join our group "The Wedding Planers" (how about it group can Elizabeth join us? Carl ask BWP since she is in charge), I vote YES. I love everything you have picked out, so I'm also voting to use everything you have presented so far, of course have to get approval from the rest of TWP's, and Tex & Molly of course. Hope you will join us here on Sat. nights to get this shindig rocking. Elizabeth Ann, aka Liz
Hi___________, well we're gonna need a name for the invitations, of course we don't have invitations yet, gotta get busy on that? L
Hey Carl, tell BWPI'm waiting to see her first blog, and she can sign up under me :). Love the hay and the cabins we will need those for sure. Here is the other cake, and also I think it's a must to use blue bonnets for the flowers. Also wanted to put the picture were Molly & Tex are getting hitched. It's really gonna be a beautiful wedding, here's some of the wedding party too. L
Oh Ms. Judi that was a good one :), can't wait to see what all you find! We have got to get the invitations picked out ASAP, and get them out to everyone. Wanted to put the bluebonnets on here too. We need a preacher too, and I have to go shopping...much to do. Really like the gold with the blue. L
ALL WEDDING PLANNERS, PLEASE READ AND CHECK BACK FREQUENTLY..........FOR UPDATES!
Good Morning All Texans and Beyond - This is Ceil; known to some as BWP, nickname given by Ms. Liz. I have been given permission by my better half, Carl of almost 45 years, to use his comment space to help plan the upcoming event of the marriage of TEX & MOLLY.
Been reading some of the information that Ms. Liz has presented and sounds mighty good. I agree with Ms. Liz to open the wedding planning to othrs that do not live in this Great State of Texas and make it an Active Rain affair. Since I'm in charge, it is done, open to all who wish to participate wth this Big Wedding.
We will be making A Checklist so we don't get ahead of each other with this Upcoming Event.
Marriage of Tex Rain to Miss Molly has alread been set for June 1, 2008 (Sunday)
Place: The Pomarosa RV Park at Bandera, Texas - Outdoor wedding
Next on this Agenda is to work on the "Shower Invitation" & Date. I say let's nominate Ricki Eichler & Team to take care of the Wedding Shower for Tex & Miss Molly (includes suggestions from all AR members). Let us know about the Shower Plans as time is getting close. We will help starting a list of people and farm friends we would like to invite so we don't miss any of our friends and family. Don't forget refreshments to be served at the shower for Tex and Miss Molly. Please be in charge to get the "preacher" maybe Alan since he is experienced with performing weddings. Ricki is in charge of the "music and entertainment", maybe Marchel, Deb and others can help.
Next Agenda Item: Since Ms. Judi Morgan is in such a hurry to go shopping, I suggest we nominate Ms. Judi & team of Active Rain members to help Ms. Judi with the shopping for the wedding party. This will include bridal party attire, beauty shop appointments, nail treatment (hoof & paint), environmental air freshening wash, etc.
Parking, lodging, decorations and incidentials by Dale Baker, and the Original Wedding Planners and all Active Rain members.
Photography - Marchel and Deb, Photography. Keep track of the Bride's Guest list with Ricki. Since we expect a big crowd of friends and family this is a tremendous job. Please kee up with all the presents and thank you notes. Please work with Tex & Miss Molly on the "honeymoon". Maybe a dude ranch somewhere nice in The Texas Hll Country. Ricki and Don may want to help with this Honeymoooon.
Ms Liz and I will be in charge of food (Tex & Miss Molly would prefer that we do not serve beef) ???
Please be advised some slight changes may have to be made as we plan the big Wedding for Tex & Miss Molly since this is our first time to plan such a Texas Size Gala.
(All Suggestions Will Be Considered)
PROPOSED AMOUNT FOR THIS WEDDING IS "ONE MILLION DOLLARS"
Hey BWP, I'll be happy to go shopping. I get to help Ms. Molly find her wedding dress and trousseau??? WOW!!! What an honor! Beauty shop appointments, manicure/pedicure hooficure, spa day at the local "spa". Wedding attire for the bridesmaids, groomsmen, and music for the wedding and reception.
Great choice for the wedding photographer -- Mr. Tom Plant does take fabulous pictures! :)
Ricki, I found some really nice wedding and shower gifts already -- will share them later.
Are we suppose to start our own post(s) sharing the details of each of our parts of the wedding plans? That would probably keep it more organized.
BWP,aka Ceil Winters, WOW you have done an outstanding job of getting us organized, this planning list is perfect and the (Tex & Miss Molly would prefer that we do not serve beef)...priceless! We already have the beer compliments of Elizabeth, and heres a few more things I picked up. Snakes, special drinks a chicken dish (as requested...no beef).
And my shopping cart, and I'll off to the store in search of something really special to serve. Thanks BWP for being in charge, I love it. I'll do whatever you say, however Ithink to we get everything picked out we should keep it here in one place, then you can take it all over and do a special post, and send out theinvitations, and then we will do another post for the wedding, How does that sound, BWP? Liz

Sorry my spell check is still not working :(, but her is a picture of our Beautiful Wedding Planing, Liz..
Bill just fixed for me, thank goodness, I had a lot of corrections to go back and make :) :)
From BWP - to Mz. Liz - You are already busy preparing the "menu". Tex and Miss Molly will be happy to know we won't be serving "beef".
Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Weddding Planners: Everyone will have their own blog with their team to promote this big wedding about to take place. Get busy to pick your team members. (they don't have to be from Texas). All planners will need to link when we find out blog title. (if I'm not doing this right please someone help me since this is new to me).
A Date for Your Calendar: Everyone, if possible, drop by Saturday evenings here at Mz. Liz between 8:00 - 11:00.
Bring dip or some refreshments and Ms. Liz will serve the surprise beverage of the evening.
We will need to bring the (final choice items) back here to Mz. Liz blog. Hope you have good participation through your blogs .It should be fun to see what items you and your team come up with from "your hunt for wedding items for Tex and Miss Molly".
Hope you have some fun this week. I'm anxious to see and read your blogs.
A Wedding For Tex and Miss Molly In The Making!
Liz - Isn't that baby precious and so alert for three months old. Hope Edward stops by. Oh! Somebody nees to get Edward, Alan and Jason and trey on their team. Oh so much to do......
Dale - looks like you have been busy. Some of those Bandera cowboys may be coming on horse back and family hay wagons and city folk may have some of those fancy RV's.
Ms. Liz has assured Ceil there would be ample parking in the north pasture.
Jackie, you found this post -- I'm almost finished with mine. Have been looking at wedding dresses and accessories??? Hey everyone, Jackie has joined my team planning the clothing and spa day!!! Welcome aboard Jackie!!! This is going to be sooo much fun!!!
ALL WEDDING PLANNERS! YOU bring a dip or two and chip or two and Ms. Liz will serve some of deeevine beverage drinks. The one's with the little Umbrellas and pretty colors. Of course, we would always welcome some homemade breadpudding or peeecan pie.
Be sure to STOP BY since we have lots of planning to do for the special couple. I think Tex is beginning to get the longhorn j i t t e r s. Hope he isn't getting "cold hoof's".
Ok, The post for those on my Team helping Ms. Molly and Mr. Tex pick out their wedding outfits and planning Ms. Molly (and her attendants) SPA DAY is posted in the Lone Star R.E. Professionals Group and the Texas Real Estate Group, I think I posted it in AR Comedy Group and Hill Country Inspectors Group too. That gives me and my team a place to share our ideas and AR Members a place to come see what we're choosing and help with the final decision.
Team #1 - Judi Morgan and AR Members are out the gate and running to find wedding items for Tex and Miss Molly. Let's give Judi's team a big Texas Wlcome.........YeeHaw!
Hi James, glad you have joined our fun, hope you bring lots of gifts. L
Dale, I'm glad you got Dillo involved, can't have a wedding without him and the signs are perfect.
Ms. Judi, looking forward to seeing Miss Molly's nails & toes hooves...send pictures :)
Ricki, I love it...we can all sing, however I got kicked out of my church choir, and we'll have to get the finale OK from BWP of course. Glad you thought of music, it totally slipped my mind and I don't think BWP has it on her list of "To Do's",...BWP how about it, I love Elsie!
Jackie, welcome aboard, all the help we can get is needed...that's us WILD CHILD"s...now your one too! Not that I'm a little frantic, I'm just as clam as...well let's just leave it there, Liz is calm!
Please keep and eye out for my dress too, Carl has not been happy with my choices.
BWP, don't forget to add Elsie the signing cow, now we need some songs for her to sing...love the sign too. Your hooked, you are an official blogger, go sign up under my name, carerhomes and get your own blog site up or Carl will try to keep you off, I'm sure that would be a mistake on his part. Came up with a new main course for our wedding dinner, what do you think??
Turkey, and the chicken??? Liz
Oh my gosh, thanks Jackie for rminding me lthat some of Tex & Morrlys friends coming to the wedding are Turkeys & Chrikens, what was I thinking....I hope they forgive me, please don't tell!!
Liz - You mistakenly typed "clam" instead of "calm", maybe we could consider catfish and shrimp for the wedding dinner...we wouldn't want to offend any of the guests. I thought I'd heard a close friendly neighbor to the T. Rain family was Widow Araucana and her brood.
I'd be happy to keep an eye out for your dress, do you have an idea for the color you'd like and the budget you have in mind or is that cost included in the $1M?
Jackie
PS) will someone tell me why I cannot use spell check on AR anymore without my computer crashing?!
From BWP - You guys and gals are going to plumb wear me down. Let's see - Judi Team #1 - A-OK
Need to get with Ms. Ricki and get her and her Team going...I think we will add music responsibilities to Ricki and team or do you have someone else in mind Liz? We still need to get Deb and Marchel busy. Tom the photogrpher says he can't make it so maybe since Marchel is so good with the camera we can designate that to Marchel...we have to make sure she has a "wide angle" on her camera. U-know Tex & Ms. Mollie are Texas Size.
Carl gave us the go ahead for the Million Dollars - $1,000.000.00 but says not one penny more. When he runs the audit he wants to account for every single receipt so be sure to keep your receipts. I hear Ms. Judi is already trying to make moves on Dale to get some of his money since he is getting some of the parking expenses for free. We need to keep an eye on Ms. Judi.
Don't ya just love Elsie the singing cow ? So sorry they kicked you out the choir Liz. Its Ok with me if Ricki wants to do the mooing at the wedding.
Jackie on Ms. Judi's team says we are all running around "wild", she ain't seen nuddin yet.
Well Mz. Liz, are you going to run the internet tonite while we are all sleeping? I have five minutes an it is lights out at the Winters abode. So, see ya around - BWP
I'm gonna see if I can catch up with Ms Ricki and light a "flame" under her underalls.
Of course, we have to keep track of our receipts. Well, I just figured if Dale isn't going to need his budget, I may as well take it. That fabric costs a lot of money and we have to have the dress CUSTOM MADE!!! Carl, how much you gonna give me for the wedding clothes for the bride, groom and how many bridesmaids, groomsmen, and ushers? Be generous...I have to find Liz and Me dresses too. :)
Liz, I'm going to bed -- it's 11:20 PM and I'm going to bed. I told Don I'd be there in a minute -- he laughed -- I wonder why he laughed!! hehehehehe I'm going to bed...good nite all......
BWP,Ms Judi seems to be under the impression that SHE and her team gets the whole MILLION, so you need to straighten her out, and she can be a sneaky little devil so you need to keep your eyes on her. Yes, you also need to light a fire under Marchel, Ricki, and Deb was also supposed to be in on TWP committee, I though? So glad you're in charge. Going to bed right after this, so I'll be a good girl tonight :). I need you to help take care of me too :).
Oh Jackie, am I glad you joined TWP...what in the world was I thinking...Chicken & Turkey, oh my no way! Maybe it should be a vegetarian meal to be on the safe side, with lots of drink, snakes, and desserts of course! Thank God I'm not the only one with spell check problems, I mean I'm sorry you're having them too, but I have a problem with Kat! Gotta go night night, BWP is taking care of me now. Liz
Dale, are you going to look for a tux for Mr. Dillo? Are did you have something more Western in mind" I just think he would look sooooo handsome in a Tux! Liz
Hey Vickie, James, Joshua, glad yall are enjoying the festivities, feel free to jump right in on the planning, just get with BWP (Ceil Winters), she will find you a job to help out with the wedding of the century here on AR. Liz
Ricki,Elsie the singing cow, is one of the cutest things anyone has come up with, Love Her! L
I just love animal parties! What absolute fun you all are having. waahhhhhhhhh! I wanna live in Texas! Fabulous, Liz... just fills my heart with such joy to read the story of this very special wedding.
Howdy Y'all, Been gone all weekend checking out Elsie the singing cow. She has a very boistrous voice and you will be able to hear her all across the pasture so no need for extra sound equipment. A small microphone will do. That will save money for other expenses. She does insist however on her own special quarters and all she can eat while she is there. That could run up the food bill. We have the loafing shed at the Pomarosa RV Park originally built for traveling horses but Ms. Elsie can have it all to herself if that OK with you guys and gals.
Mz. Liz suggested she sing "Good Golly Miss Molly". I think that would be a fine selection. Just let me know if you are ready to hire her. She has a busy schedule and we need to know right away. Thanks, Ricki :)
Deb Brooks is busy making plans for the cake and all the refreshments. Deb has found the Body Guards already. Good Job Deb!
Marchel Peterson is our grand Photographer and will be busy before , during and after the shower and the wedding filming all the happenings. Video and still shots will be needed. Marchel is also planning the decorations for the shower.
Preacher Alan Kirkpatrick will perform the ceremony after the pre-marital counseling sessions on Tues. & Thurs evenings. Hopefully, everything will go well with these. Maybe he will keep us updated? :)
Don Eichler has a special job. He is the sanitation supervisor (Super Duper Pooper Scooper) in other words. Maybe he WON'T keep us updated :)
Debbie, Carl and Bob, I want to thank each of ya for taking the time to help with the planning of this here wedding. I know Tex and Molly do also, and all of their friend's
THE BANKER IN CHARGE - CARL WINTERS - We'll Call Him "Greenie"
As you already know the banker has given Tex & Miss Molly the sum of One Million Dollars for the upcoming Events. After careful review from "Greenie" each team will be awarded the sum of $225,000.00 dollars. The remainder will go into the General Fund for "unexpected" expenses.
Out of the gooness of his heart "greenie" has decided you will not have to submit your receipts.
Mara - I hope you will be on mine and BWP's team, we are in charge of food, and BWP is in charge of overseeing the whole event! L
Alan - Oh thanks for stopping by and "sharing"...I knew you would have something very special to add to the festivities :)
Ricki - Book her, she is perfect! OK BWP? Anyone know how to put a music video on of the song Good Golly Miss Molly?? L
BWP - Great job, love the names, and thank for talking Carl into no receipts, whew that's a big load off! I hope your checking Carl's bogs while he's gone fishing...as they say "while the cats away....? I'll send you a note on one of his post later tonight. L
From BWP to Ms. Liz - No, No, No you misunderstood, I'm the one going fishing. Carl is staying home. I have worked so hard on planning this Big Wedding I need a rest.
Hi everyone! I hope it's okay that I jumped out and reserved a copy of BODYGUARDS to cover the wedding for us. Just to keep peace between the Hatfields and McCoys!
They are affordable Carl....I'll send the receipt.
And, I have a couple of suggestions for the brides maids and others in the wedding party....whattaya think?
No one has really mentioned our menu?? Don't you think Mr. and Mrs. Rain would prefer chicken?
Hi Everyone, Ms. Molly's friend Mabel suggested this fine B&B for the honeymoooon. She likes the double doors and the high ceilings. She says the hay is the finest found anywhere. Whatdaya thank? Should we reserve the room?
Let me know, it's only $1,000 a night and June is already getting booked up. Ricki and Red Hot Chili Peppers Team
The Wedding Shower of Mr Tex Rain and Ms. Molly! It's being held on Mother's Day, May 11th. Ms. Molly and her friends and their Mothers will be there. You are invited!!! Please come! Location is the "Rose Palace" in Boerne. With 400 stalls, Don says it will handle all the Bull you can bring!
From BWP - Looks good to me...if comes highly recommended by Mabel it must be nice. I say go ahead and book it. Sunday night, June 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Ok - The "honeymooon site is taken care of by Ms. Ricki & her Hot Chili Pepper Team. But - Ms. Ricki we are still waiting for your information for the Shower, Date, Time & Place. Also the cake and refreshments. I think someone has already posted some possibilities but keep track of what you and your Hot Chili Peppers want. Please don't forget Shower Favors. Do you think it shouldbe "girls" only or "include Tex". Ms. Judi is racing ahead again, Liz said we would have to pull her back....Whoa Ms. Judi. We need to get the Shower taken care of first. Ricki, maybe you can get Deb or Marchel to help. EVERYBODY GO BACK & REREAD THE ORIGINAL CHECKLIST (above). I'll mark it with some Red Chili Peppers so you can find it easily. Ceil Winters - BWP
Ricki, I've been picking out china, serving pieces and other decorative items for their home. I'll be at the wedding shower. I'll post the china and stuff in a little while.
Yip - I think the news it out. Even Alan, when he should have been taking pictures of "wildflowers" he was taking pictures of.....Boo Patties? He needs to get on a team. Ricki have you asked hime get to do the ceremony, I think he already said he would do it just waiting for an invite.
What in the world are we going to do with Ms. Judi; now she is after the "preachers" money. I guess we are just going to have to take Ms. Judi behind the barn and have a good talking to. What ya think partners? Should Judi go sit a spell on those there hay bales behind the barn?
Hi Carl and Judi, Yes, Alan is on the Red Hot Chili Pepper team and is going to do the ceremony. Of course, I think he is asking the bride and groom to do some pre-marital counseling first. He is also helping with the guest list. Will get back to you soon.
Oh, no, I wasn't after the preachers money!!! Oh MY!!! I would never do that!!! I was just hoping he wouldn't charge, because then, Carl would have to take money from each of our budgets and the seamstress is being difficult. She's complaining about short notice and it'll cost us more!!! :( We'll see about checking with some other dressmakers and seamstresses to see if we get a better price!!!
OMG - Did you see the "'BODYGUARDS" Deb found? You'll have to check with your Team Leader Ricki, Team #2 The Red Hot Chili Peppers and see if she can work it into the budget. They sure are handsome "bodyguards" where did you find them. They sure would make everyone feel secure and they look to be in good shape. - Ceil
Ricki - Alan said whatpre-marital counseling before the wedding.
OMG - ha, ha ----- OK Ricki, please let Tex & Miss Molly know that they willl have to meet with Alan The Preacher for a pre-marital counseling session. If you would please handle. Thanks, Ceil
P.S. Now I know why I didn't have any daghters, I would have heart failure if I had to plan a real wedding.
Ceil & Carl, Don't worry the pre-marital counseling is scheduled for every Tues and Thurs evening between 7 and 8pm. Preacher Alan is happy to do this for free. NO charge. But he is insistent on them being on time and you know how Ms. Molly likes to primp in front of the mirror. She really must be on time! Preacher Alan has a busy real estate schedule and is alotting them this time for free. So please talk to them about being on time. Will you?
Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties??? Anybody planning them. I nominate Judi #1 Team and Rick #2 Team work on this together. Whata think Ms. Liz
We will need : Date - Time - Place (I would watch the expense on this one)
Maybe just have a small Gathering at the Pomerosa (remember, the Bride & Groom request "no beef"). Maybe just casual, sit around a camp fire, sing a few songs, roast marshmallows and talk tales about Home on The Range. Cowboy Beans and sizzled squirrel, jack rabbit and BBQ gopher . Maybe some Tatters and japaleno cornbread. What ya think?
Yes Ms. Ricki - Liz and I will definitely talk with Miss Molly about the alloted time to meet with Preacher Alan; such a nice man to do this for free.
You do know that smarty pants Judi will be banging on "Greenie's" door wanting the money you would have paid for the preacher transferred out of your budget into her budget. So...be prepared to see Ms. Smarty Pants to come a looking. JUST SAY NO.
I would get Tex & Miss Mollie with the preacher before dark. Miss Molly has to get her beauty sleep or she may get bags under her eyes. Tex is a rounder and stays up all night long LOOKNG FOR TROUBLE IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES
Excuse Me!!! Small Gathering at the Pomerosa???!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA NO WAY!!! These are their Bachelor & Bachelorette Parties!!! WOOOHOOO -- Time to Party!!!! I know a couple of places in Bandera and San Antonio to hold these parties. Roast marshmallows, sing a few songs, campfire???? There will be some song singing but no marshmallows or campfires!!! hehehehehehe I should get Ms. Lisa Heindel to plan these parties -- she knows how to plan a good party!!! She may even have them in New Orleans -- where she knows all the good places to go. Don't worry, I'll tell her to keep them off of Bourbon Street -- but you know how the guys get -- they may stampede into the French Quarter.
Ok, Ladies, I just asked Ms. Lisa Heindel to plan the Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties!!! She has agreed to work on Date, Time, Place and begin making the arrangements tomorrow!!!! Whew, Ricki, you and I don't have to plan them now. Trust me, they're in good hands with Ms. Lisa!!! :)))
See there, Smarty Pants Judi is taking advantage and spending money again. These city gals. I thought everyone would enjoy a "starry, starry night under the big Texas skies", but no, gotta drag everybody to the big city.
Just wait until Ms. Liz gets here. By the way, where is Ms. Liz. ? iI's 10:30 and Carl is already upstairs. I bet she is sitting in the background laughing at all her children.
Dale, gave me $25,000 of his money!!! I'll budget $5,000 for the 2 parties -- Ms. Lisa, that should be enough for the parties, right? Let me know if you need more but surely $5,000 is plenty.
I'm going back to my post, I see Ms. Jackie has been shopping for wedding dresses -- I got a quick glimpse of them but want to go take a closer look! We need to get busy on the bridemaids dresses and the groom and groomsmen clothes too.
Oh Ricki, I am so sorry, I would never ever do anything to offend anyone. Please tell them I apologize. We are beginning to run out of options. You are making it quite difficult for us to plan the menu for the Big Day.
I spoke to Ms Liz about the time on June 1st and I believe 2:00 would be a good time of day. Ceremoney at 2:00 followed by the reception and then off to the honeymoooooooon. What do you think?
I guess I will have to make an announcement in the next comment section.
Ceil & Carl All is forgiven and I have some suggestions for the food. Remember the Fredericksburg peaches will be ripe just about this time and what a great cake they would make. Also Peach Salsa is fantastic. With a few tortilla chips, some home grown garden vegetables and how about some seafood. Ms Lisa lives near the coast maybe she could get us a good deal on some shrimp, scallops and red snapper. What do you think? Any other suggestions?
All Active Rain Party Planner: Looks like you have been working very hard putting together this here wedding for Tex and Miss Molly. However, we have run into a problem with the menu selection for the Big Wedding day. I am sure you have heard that Tex and Miss Molly has requested "no beef" be served at the wedding reception. We have also run into some problems with other selections,like squirrel, dillo's, rabbit and friends of Tex and Miss. Molly.
Ms. Liz has requested I GO FISHING IN SEARCH FOR ALTERNATE MENU ITEMS.It may take me several days, but I will be back in time for Saturday night live to meet with you and Ms. Liz on April 26 between 8:00 - 11:00 at .....Good-Golly-Ms-Molly (this post)
Ms. Lisa can have a few hundred pounds of crawfish shipped in for a CRAWFISH BOIL!!!! :))))
Amanda, Of course, there's a Honeymoon!!!
Paul, stay away from our beautiful couple -- someone get some soap to wash Paul's brain!!! I see him "picturing" them on the grill!!! PAUL NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
I was just sayin, Judi. All kidding aside, I just hope those two have been playing it safe. Nothing ruins a bovine wedding like hoof and mouth disease running rampant through the wedding party. I've heard rumors about Tex. Something about a string of mad cows from here to Galveston.
Oh, Paul, whew, you really had me scared -- I was afraid you were going to be loading them up on a trailer and driving down to the slaughter house. Sorry, I over-reacted!!!
Are you sure it's "our" Mr. Tex you're hearing those rumors about??? Oh My, a string of mad cows from Phoenix/Scottsdale to Galveston. I guess Miz Liz & Mr. Carl will have to have a sit down talk with him and soon!!!
Tex wouldn't make it back from any bachelor party I plan, unfortunately. Somewhere between the tequilla and the brothel, we'd get the munchies. Better leave it up to Lisa. She lives for this kind of thing.
Paul - That's a nasty rumor you're spreading about Tex and you know it - his blood test came back negative. You must want Miss Molly for yourself...don't you already have a wife?!
Deb, Deb, Deb, you make the same mistake I did...we'ld be eating our guest, OH NO...so I think we should stay on the Vegie side for our menue :). Love those BIG HORNS, my gosh, but the ones for the wedding party just does not go with my outfit, so I gotta pass on those, thanks anyway. Hey can you put a wedding musice viedo on all our post? Gotta have the song, Good Golly Miss Molly, on it!
Here are a few of the party favors for the second time tonight, will show you all of them later. Boots filled with bubble stiff :)
s!
Ricki, I got the date down May 11th, perfect, my schedule is clear, don't forget we need to put someone in charge of keeping all the names to halp Miss Molly Blogger Rain send out her thank you notes!
Dale - my friend did you see what Preacher Allan left us??? And you're pulling up the rear! So I think you diffenatly need to get him on your team, along with Paul there, and Jason, what a hoot of a team that will make . Can't harly wait to see what other ideas they have, or maybe thats not a good idea???
By the way since BWP has gone fishing, and Mr. Greenie is not around we can sneak our budjet up to 2 MILLION, these weddings get expenise and my dress is going to be at least $200,000??? Night all, sorry I missed being here when eveyone was on. Liz
Mornng - "Greenie" here; I saw the comment Ms.Liz made. Will have to give that some careful consideration. We will have some $$$ in the general fund. See what happens when BWP goesFISHING already wanting more money. I'll be watching.
Putting Judi on notice. I'll be keeping my Eyes on you...No over spending.
Hi Liz, We have put Alan in charge of the guest list, so he will be putting all the names together. Please check my blog too (The Red Hot Chili Peppers Team) for my team members. I have more coming also. $200,000 for a dress! We must begin to address this also. :) Greenie has already been talking to me about this.
OH MY! Miz Liz had upped the wedding fund to $2,000,000!!! That reception must be costing some extra money and y'all have been giving me and my team a hard time about spending money! Heck, we have to buy the Bride & Grooms wedding outfits plus a trousseau for Ms. Molly, honeymoon outfits for her. Plus outfits and accessories for 4 bridesmaids & 4 groomsmen plus 2 ushers. SPA Day for Ms. Molly, 4 attendants, plus 2 lady owners, Ms. Ceil & Miz Liz. A Bachelor Party, A Bachelorette Party, and now of course, Miz Liz tells me we're picking out and paying for the Invitations to the wedding! And we're suppose to pick out her $200,000 dress for her!!! We're working hard to stay within our $250,000 budget -- good thing I have Ms Stager Extroidenaire - Ms Jackie Peraza negotiating the pricing on those custom made wedding outfits!!! I know Ms. Lisa will do a great job with the parties too. Ms. Yolanda is in charge of the SPA Day and I known she'll also negotiate a fabulous Group Rate -- as I'm sure Ms. Lisa will be able to do too. I'll work on the Invitations. Let's see, that would be about 100,000 invitations???
Hey Everyone, We have to be on the lookout!!! There's a dangerous situation brewing over in the Phoenix/Scottsdale, AZ area! I believe there is a potential "rustling" scheme being planned. I won't say who but check out some of the comments above. Security for Mr. Tex and Ms. Molly (especially Ms. Molly) needs to be tightened.
"Guilty as charged, Jackie, but not in the way you expect. Molly is quite the specimen ... and my Coleman has a full tank of propane ...
Amanda??? Jason asked you to let "me" know that he will RSVP as Groomsman for the wedding!!!??? Are you setting Jason up??? If you are, I'll play along -- he should be a groomsman, along with Trey, Jem and Edward. We need 4 groomsmen and maybe 2 ushers. ROFLMAO
Okay, okay, I've got the goods on the possible "rustling" scheme! It seems Paul wants to take Miss Molly out to dinner (how typical) and then have his way with her. Now, is this a "rustling" scheme or "hustling?"
I've begun the planning of the entrance of the wedding party. We are going to need more than our two current "Body Guards" and I've heard of yet another possible threat...
Cow tipping.
This is all so much to digest...no Paul I don't mean Molly!
Cow tipping...does this mean if a cow drives in we should park their cars and make some money?
Deb, did you go shopping???? Great idea to plan the entrance, seating, etc. Don't forget the dance floor - there is going to be music so we have to dance!!!
We could hire the "utters" for the live music! Glad to hear from you Judi! I know I need to work on the cake. I was thinking maybe "cow patties" or "Moo-lates?"
Way to go Dale...Dale to the rescue! Dale are you in charge of the "Body Guards" too? I am interviewing a few more as this wedding is growing to an enormous proportion. Later in the rain~Deb
Hey Deb, Hey I forgot, I have my million dollar bill in my purse too!!! Hang on to your million -- we might need it somewhere. I hope we can get this done without me having to use any of it. But, Miz Liz did give it to me as a gift.
Ricki, SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...awwww, heck, do we have to pay income tax on the very generous monetary gift Miz Liz each one of us at the AR Gathering??? Oh, heck, I guess, I'll just donate mine to the charity wedding. :))))
Good thing Dale came to the rescue...we gotta watch out for the Arizona people...by the name of PAUL!!!
I got Little Richard & Tom Jones to perform Good Golly Miss Molly as a Duet!!! And for good measure, Jerry Lee Lewis has also agreed to perform Good Golly Miss Molly!!! We'll audition them -- I have them on a "draft" post, waiting to be auditioned. We can then decide exactly who will perform at the wedding. They all agreed to do it for free!!! Great chance for them to be out among 100,000 fans performing -- how often do they get that opportunity.
Judi, Sounds like you've been busy helping me out with the music. We have to be careful not to make Elsie the singing cow angry. She is really sensitive. You know those "STAR Types". Mz. Liz has already said she was the one to sing "Good Golly Miss Molly". Personally, Jerry Lee would be my pick but Ms. Molly may feel a little closer to Elsie, You know what I mean? HEHE :)
BTW, when you went to the Hat luncheon, did you find any special hats for us for the wedding?
Hey Miz Liz, where are you??? I guess you're out listing and selling houses so we'll have enough money to pay for this wedding!!! :) Looking forward to seeing you on Monday! :))) WOOHOOO!!!
Hey all TWP's and BWP...nobodytold Deb that ist's Ceil who is BWP not Carl!! Of course she is busy on that post with all the music...but I don't see any music here, DEB????
Amanda, you are almost as BAD as Paul, remember I said almost, you are wanting to eat our some of our quest, but I'm really getting concerned about Paul with his rumors about Mr. Tex Rain, and hisintentions for Miss Molly Bloger, very worried. Paul is not a "well" man, and I mean that mentally, and I have blogs to prove it!
Dale, thanks for those extra troops I found this guy on the side of the road if yall think we need him too??
BWP, talk to Carl about more money for my dress, please. I'm going shopping now so should have something to show yall tonight.
Judi, Ricki, and all TWP's...we must decide on an invitation, and get it written and posted on all the Molly& Tex poste, ASAP. BWP get your whip out., this boys and girls have got to get their priority's straight! Liz
Well since Deb and Judi have figured out how to get music on their post about the wedding, I guess I'm gonna have to step up to the plate, unless one of the other WONDERFUL TWP"s can figure out how to get it on here under their comment?Oh NO...Hurry Greenie, and Dale, some of the guest that are already arriving have already started with all that BEER that was brought in...NO BULL!!!! Liz
Hey Miz Liz, I'm here, I'm not on my computer. But I have been working on invitations. Have 2 saved on my computer at home. Want to design a couple more for y'all to vote on. Jackie's busy this week with clients so she had to take a few days off from shopping for the wedding. However, we have narrowed the search down to 4 dresses for Ms. Molly. Go to my post and let me know which one you like We've also picked out 2 different styles of boots and there are several hats to choose from -- all for Ms. Molly. Oh, Jackie found the most beautiful wedding jewelry -- sapphires & diamonds in a Blue Bonnet design for necklace and earrings. I have some things put aside for Mr. Tex but haven't posted them yet. Will get that done tonight along with the invitations. Waiting for Ms. Yolanda to start scheduling the Spa Day and Ms. Lisa to plan the bachelor and bachelorette parties. I think they both got side tracked by work.
And I found some real Southern Belle dresses for you to try on. I'll get them posted tonight also. Got busy with clients but will try to catch up tonight.
Hey Liz, I'll help you with the music video on Monday. Oops, we're not going to the office, we're meeting in Brookshire. Well, if you want me to help with the music video, we can meet at the office, I can show you how to do that and then we can go have lunch. I have to be on my way back to San Antonio no later than 2:00!!! Have to be home by 5:00!!!
I called that agent, left a message, but she hasn't called back. :(
Ms. Judi, my computer is at my house, so we will keep our plans as we had them, OK. I'll figure it out, or send me instructions. Call her back tomorrow, I was excited to give out your name for a referral :). Did you see my dress selections I put on your post? Which one do you like best?
Allow me to introduce Rhett to you, his favorite is the last one, the long black one...oh dear what to do? Liz
I decided I needed my own body guard ,and he is also going to be Miss Molly's as well, since I'm so concerned about Preacher Alan, and even more that crazy Paul, so I felt I just "had to get Rhett here totake care of us Southern Ladies, if you know what I mean :) :)"! Ms. Liz or as Rhett likes to call me Scarlet. Where is the invitation and Greenie, and BWP? I need their opinion too?
HEY EVERYONE...I GOT MUSIC...GO UP AND CLICK ON IT...TURN THE SOUND UP AND GET DOWN WHILE READING THESE COMMENTS BY ALL THESE CRAZY AR TWP'S, that's The Wedding Planners. Also if you can't get enough crazyness here...visit the several other blog sites that are featuring what's going on with the wedding of Mr. Tex Rain and Mis Molly Blogger...they are:
GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY! by Deb Brooks
The Red Hot Chili Peppers Team by Ricki Eichler
Active Rain Wedding of the Year!! Choosing the Wedding Dress and Accessories. . . Ms. Judi Morgan
Hey Miz Liz, you figured out how to do the music before I sent the instructions. I was going to link you to Instructions by another AR member. Wooooooooooooo, GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLYYYYYY!!!! Woooooooooooooooooooo
I DO DEFINITELY like Rhett!!!! He can be my body guard too -- don't tell Don. You know we're still newly weds and he might get jealous, but. . .
I'm still working on the invitations. Got sidetracked by clients so haven't finished the samples yet. I will have them ready by this time next Thursday. Maybe sooner. Busy all weekend but I'll get them done...never fear!!!
Ms. Judi, I know you will, no doubt and you will get that listing I referred to you too. I love to click on the music before reading the new comments or making one, really puts you in a good mood, you need to put it on yours, and also do what I'm doing with a link to all the other wedding sites, that's what I'm doing now, going back and forth. Kisses Liz
Liz, I will call that agent back again tomorrow. I have a drafted post with the music video(s) on it. It just has the videos no words. Have to decide what I want to say so I can finish it and get it posted. It's similar to Deb's so I have to make sure the wording is different from hers. I've been designing the invitations myself. Still have a few more ideas but they'll take a little time, have to find the right graphics. I designed the TX AR Gathering Invitations. Of course, this is much more serious than that was! hehe Trying to put together some posts about site-seeing while Tom was here. The pictures are on a different computer. But I might be able to get them written on one computer, I write mine in Office, then paste it onto AR -- and then add the pictures onto the draft from the other computer.
Ok, we'll meet you where we talked about earlier today around 11:30/11:45. Can't wait to see you again!!! :)
Time to go to bed. . . good night...
together at the recent Active Rain gathering in Bandera Texas at the Pomarosa RV Park. The scenic spot in the heart of the Hill Country was the perfect setting. Tex had decided to wait and spring the big question to Miss Molly during the gathering so he would have all his blogger buddies present and he also knew that each AR person present would certainly have their cameras ready to record the momentous occasion, and that they did. Tex who is the mascot for the Texas Real Estate group was introduced to everyone by founder 
that is white gold, and has a perfect image of Miss Molly's longhorn face on it. Then the fun really began with all the excitement of making plans for the upcoming wedding, which is sure to be the event of the year on Active Rain. We are sure the wedding will be attended by thousands of active rain bloggers as well as the Big Shots of AR. All of their fellow longhorns and other special guest will also be receiving wedding invitations shortly. Of course we also have the engagement party, the wedding showers to plan, and shopping trips to buy the many things needed for such a large and illustrious wedding. Oh and planning where they are going on their honeymoon...so many things to do and get ready for and talk about.
participate in the planning along with the Wedding Planners. Ms. Ceil Winters, now forever know as BWP will be in charge of the group. There are lots of decisions to make so please bring all your great ideas to the Saturday night meetings. Some things that need to be found and decided on are all the "normal" things for a glorious Longhorn Wedding. Bridesmaids, Groomsman, wedding party, colors, dresses, tux's or jeans, flowers, cakes, rings, honeymoon spots, party favors, invitations, places for the showers and engagement party, food, catering, transportation. Guess that should be one of our fist tasks...make of a list of items needed? So help spread the word about the Active Rain Engagement and upcoming Wedding of Mr. Tex Rain and Miss Molly Blogger. As I said it is sure to be THE EVENT OF THE YEAR ON ACTIVE RAIN, so make sure you get the date marked in your calendars...this is one wedding no one should miss! Everyone on active rain is invited, so watch for your invitations
