Just to make sure everyone knows what’s going on, especially if your invitation hasn’t arrived yet:

The ceremony is at The Cathedral Church of the Redeemer, which is the Anglican Cathedral. It is in Calgary. It is right smack dab in the middle of downtown, and is easily accessible by C-train. (The Olympic Plaza stop is directly outside the front doors.) The ceremony will begin at 2.00 p.m., on July 3, 2010.

Even if you have not received an invitation, you are welcome at the ceremony to help support us as we begin this new chapter in our lives.

If you choose to attend the ceremony, it would be awesome (but it is not required) if you would come dressed in mediaeval clothing.

If you are wondering about our registry, please check out the link in the sidebar.

If you have any other questions, please e-mail us or leave a comment!

We went to see Robin Hood last night (yes, the new one with Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchet) and quite enjoyed it. The clothes they were wearing were well-designed, and though they were a little later in period than the year the movie was supposed to be set in (the movie was at the turn of the twelfth century, and their clothes were a bit later than that), the costume designers weren’t so silly as to put everyone in Renaissance outfits or even late medieval clothing, so all is well.

Which is a rather roundabout way of saying that if you aren’t sure what you should wear or how to do your hair, go see this movie and get some inspiration!

You may have guessed this already, but we’re having a medieval wedding, and we’re asking our guests to come in costume! Not everyone has hose in his closet, of course, so here are some web sites you might find helpful as you prepare to attend:
