I think Mr. Blueberry’s frat brothers will be enough of a “Greek” influence at our wedding

I never went Greek, but I love these ideas–so sentimental! I hope they put you in their mag., Miss Strawberry!

When we attend sisters’ weddings, at the reception we stand in a circle around the bride and sing the last verse of one of our songs. It’s sounds really cheesy, but it’s very special. Don’t know if I will do this (or if I will have sisters who are willing to do this), plus I think I would cry.

I don’t know if good old pansies would survive my wedding bouquet or BM’s–they are not very hearty. Maybe I can find a pansy pin…

I like the idea of wearing the pin under the skirt! You know we’ll bust out the mug song, Miss Strawberry, and will take a picture! We’ll get you in the mag.

It never even crossed my mind to have my sorority (Tau Beta Sigma, national honorary band sorority) pin in my dress somewhere. My FI and I are both members (it’s coed) and while we’ve grown away from the group of people who are currently in the chapter, it would be cool to remember that tie between us as we get married. On a side note, my FI is also a member of the Infant Cannibals, a group of rowdy tuba players in the UMR Miner Marching Band, and I am sure that Eat Babies will be spoken at least once during the reception. Plus we have to do the Vehicle dance… a marching band party tradition.

For my wedding, I had a cake with candied pansies on it. Very pretty, very subtle, and yet still evocative of Theta. (I did multicolored pansies-didn’t just stick with black/gold.)
