Best, Bee (Mother of the Bride, Pennington-Aguilar Wedding Ceremony & Reception, April 6, 2013) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Michelle, I wanted to thank you for the extraordinary job you did for our families as Golden Eagle Wedding Reception Venue Coordinator and Wedding Planner. The location was absolutely beautiful, the reception events and set up ran so smoothly and was a heartwarming and fun celebration for family and friends. Most of all, the bride, Emily, had the utmost confidence and peace of mind you instilled in her so that she could truly enjoy her day as bride. You kept everything running smoothly and let us celebrate a wonderful occasion as though Emily and Justin Reker were royalty! I appreciate your professionalism, hard work, and expert organizational skills in handling all aspects of the Wiwi-Reker wedding from keeping us informed in the planning stages, to directing the rehearsal, then setting up the banquet, decorations, and coordinating the florists, photographers, DJ, and guests as they arrived. Not to mention the fact of actually lacing Emily into her wedding gown, and later serving Emily and Justin their meal! The wedding was magical and a memorable event for all of us and we will happily recount our experience with Golden Eagle Country Club and your expertise as wedding coordinator. Thank you so much!

(HERO Gala, February 2, 2013) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Michelle, Thank you so very much for coordinating a perfect wedding and reception last weekend for Jan & Stu. Your organization skills certainly shined, and we were very pleased with the food, service and the bar at Golden Eagle County Club. Hiring you to be our coordinator was one of the best decisions we made throughout the journey of planning a wedding for our daughter. You set our tables perfectly and offered so much more support than we realized we needed. Golden Eagle was the perfect setting for both the wedding and the reception. The bride and groom, and both sets of parents all know we collectively hosted a perfect event. We have heard nothing but praise from our family and friend who had such a good time. All the pictures show huge smiles on everyone. Hope we cleaned up well enough on Sunday - if we forgot anything, just let us know. Regards- Jim & Maggie (Step-Mother & Father of the Bride, Gowen-Touchton Wedding Ceremony & Reception, January 26, 2013) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Michelle, Thank you so much for the extraordinary job you did for Ashley and John’s wedding and reception. Your patience, your expertise, your hard work and your optimism (especially about the weather ☺) was so appreciated. Having grown up in a family who catered and coordinated such events, we have a full appreciation of the hard work, the behind the scenes activity, the planning and the attention to detail needed to have a perfect outcome – and perfect ours was. Than you for making everything so easy and for making the day so special. No regrets and we would highly recommend and strongly encourage all brides (and their parents) to call “Michelle” if they want a wedding/reception done with class and perfection! You were great to work with! Many thanks, Diane & Mike (Parents of the Bride, James-Apthorp Wedding Ceremony & Reception, January 19, 2013) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello Michelle, I meant to communicate with you on Sunday. Our visit with you on Saturday was perfect in every way – it just couldn’t have been nicer. And, you are so wonderful to work with!! As we will be returning in May – on the 11 th I believe – I wanted to mention one thing. Golden Eagle is so generous with the portions of the meals. The peachy chicken was probably enough for two people and I even had trouble finishing all my wonderful quiche! Sherrie (Sherrie DeBoer, Daughters of the American Revolution Luncheon, January 12, 2013) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Michelle & Golden Eagle Staff, Thank you very much for helping me create the most memorable day!

We miss you already, but have so many great memories to take with us.

  • The Beginning Of
    the beginning of THE WEDDING PLANNER (from ROMANTIC FOOLS) a short comedy by Rich Orloff (ROMANTIC FOOLS, a comic revue for one man and one woman, is published and licensed by Playscripts, Inc. www.playscripts.com) The woman enters and addresses us: WOMAN When a woman and a man become engaged – it’s a magical moment, filled with the promise of love, affection and a life overflowing with joy. Then you realize you have to plan a wedding, and that magical moment is history. For months and months, you and your betrothed have to figure out a thousand details which lead to that special day when you think, “If I can make it through this, marriage will be easy.” After all that work, I think the reason the bride and groom get to march down the aisle first is so that nobody can get between them and the champagne. To help reduce the stress of all that a wedding entails, most people turn to a professional with expertise, someone they can trust, a wedding planner. The WEDDING PLANNER (MAN) enters. MAN Did I hear you say you’re looking for a wedding planner? WOMAN Well – MAN Let me present myself. He hands her a card. WOMAN “Charles H. Hungadunga the Third, Wedding and Funeral Planner.

  • Planning a Catholic Wedding
    Planning a Catholic Wedding "Make [your wedding] a real celebration – because marriage is a celebration – a Christian celebration, not a worldly feast! … What happened in Cana 2000 years ago, happens today at every wedding celebration: that which makes your wedding full and profoundly true will be the presence of the Lord who reveals himself and gives his grace. It is his presence that offers the 'good wine', he is the secret to full joy, that which truly warms the heart. "It is good that your wedding be simple and make what is truly important stand out. Some are more concerned with the exterior details, with the banquet, the photographs, the clothes, the flowers…These are important for a celebration, but only if they point to the real reason for your joy: the Lord's blessing on your love." - —Pope Francis’ address to engaged couples in Rome, February 14, 2014 Nowadays many engaged couples handle a lot of their own wedding planning. When at least one of the individuals is Catholic this can include making arrangements to be married in a Catholic church. Take time to prepare and plan The Roman Catholic Diocese of Peterborough requires a preparation period of one year for couples who want to be married in the Church. The preparation includes a contact with the parish in which they want to have their wedding. It is important to talk with the parish priest or deacon about what the parish allows and expects in a celebration. It is also possible that the parish can offer specific help and resources.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.
