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'snails & 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.
Ah,this is so romantic. How special Cute post. Thanks for sharing.
