On this snowy day in North Carolina, here’s a reposting of Chick’s sled ride.

For Halloween, some Reynolda House staff are dressing up to go with objects at Reynolda. Chick decided to go as a Christo and Jeanne-Claude piece, inspired by “Valley Curtain.”

Thanks to my friend Katie for following Chick and her husband around and documenting key points of their wedding weekend!

Birds of all ages got to boogieing on the dance floor.

Chick and her husband were very clear that there would be no smashing of cakes into beaks for them during the reception.

Chick thought that the prepared toasts at her wedding were just lovely—heartfelt and humorous.

After the wedding, Chick, her husband, and their guests enjoyed a reception with a buffet dinner. Chick had to be really careful to protect her pearls and feathers as neat eating is not her forte, and it wouldn’t do to have a big stain as the bride.

It being a Quaker ceremony, all of Chick and her husband’s guests signed a wedding certificate made for the occasion, noting that they witnessed the occasion.

It was a beautiful ceremony, if Chick may say so. She and her husband had a lovely wedding, surrounded by friends and family. There were readings, beautiful music, and messages given. Promises made and tokens exchanged.

Before the ceremony, Chick and her friend posed for a few photographs to help document the occasion.

When Chick was talking with her feather stylist right after she and her friend got engaged, they were talking about wedding fashion choices. Chick said she figured she’d just style her own feathers, but her stylist said, “Chick! I’ve been your stylist for years! You have to let me do your feathers on your WEDDING day!!!” She was 100% right, so Chick got well-styled before her big day.

After rehearsing for their wedding, Chick and her friend joined their family and other wedding participants for a lovely rehearsal dinner and a festive welcome party. They got to see and meet each other’s friends and family. Food, fellowship, and merriment ensued.

Chick and her husband (whoa!!!!! 😲) aren’t too bothered that there is a tropical storm during their honeymoon. They are happy to have a restful day after a beautiful wedding weekend. Maybe she’ll get an opportunity to share some photos of the big event!

Chick has now gotten to the part of wedding prep she’s been particularly excited about: seating assignments for the reception! Even when a wedding was a theoretical pipe dream, she’d imagine what people in her life she’d seat together and just wish she could be at every table and join in the conversations. She’s also a very visual bird, so she decided to mail merge her RSVP list into sheets so she could cut up the names and move them around by table. #chickgettingmarried #adventuresofchick #weddingplanning

Chick is finding that making a wedding invite list is harder than she thought. She wants to have ALL the people and animals share in her day, but practical limitations impede. Sigh.
