The Old Meeting House

Dearest Old Meeting House of Salt Lake City, Utah! I, was married in 1981; and, I, still, 'float-into-a-dream-world', every time, I, think of, MY, WEDDING DAY! It, was everything, I, EVER, dreamed-of--as, a, little girl; and, MORE! I, was married in the Salt Lake Temple; and, then, WE, gathered together, with-in, YOUR, WALLS DEAR OLD MEETING HOUSE, where Dave Newman took the most fabulous photos--of, family and friends; abd, YOU, building were, grand--more, than, GRAND; and beautifully-lit; and, clean--'to-white-glove-perfection'; and, the fragrant-scent--wafting through the air, was only, out-done, by, the lovely soft music; and, charm of happy dear-one's-excited voices; and, WE, were, in, HEAVEN--on, this, Teelestial World; and, every thing promised, was done; and, the menu was amazing; and, the assistants, they, even, packed, a, 'treat-basket', for, us, to take to, with, us--on, departure!

The, Ladies in, MY, reception-line, were, all, dressed in white; and, the men were in white ties--and, white vests; and, white cumberbands; and, with, BLACK-tailed-Tux's; and, the Ladies had white-large-brimmed hats--and, white lace gloves--with, white lace parasols; and, there were

HOT PINK roses; and, hot-pink boutiniers; and, I, had white netting--trailing, from, MY, WHITE HAT--into, a, 'long-train'; and, there were

white ribbons cascading out-off, MY, closed, tall, white parasol! OH! The JOY! What, a, delight! Eight girls assisted, ME; and, nine

gentlemen assisted, MY, GROOM; and, people lined the hall; and, down the sidewalk--I, was told; and, all, that, was missing were

'TOP-HATS'; and, a, carriage; but, I, didn't, dare!!! LOL! But; there, was a Prima Ballerina--in, Hot-pink; who, danced on the beautiful shining, Par-kay Flooring--with, her,

Dancier--he, was in black-- to, the, 'Classic':

"MAY I HAVE THIS DANCE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE"! ...AWE! And; the bridal-room was like a fairy-land--all, in, white! I, will never, forget having one of, MY, bridesmaids, usher, MY, FATHER, in; to, thank, HIM, for the glorious assistance, HE--had provided--to, make, MY, plans, complete; and, to thank, HIM, for, giving, ME, LIFE; and, for, launching, ME, to, a, new-one!!! It, was a moment, I, will never forget! The, sun was setting--through the beautiful west windows. It, was a royal-dream! And; the, staff and Hostess were

professional and amazing; and, they were, 'their word'; and, they shared, their, beautiful Estate with, us, with exquisite, etiquette; and, finesse; and, they twinkled with pride, as, YOU, DEAR GRAND-HALL, met-with, another reason for, YOUR, creation! THANK YOU, DEAR OLD MEETING HOUSE! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! DEAR STAFF OF AUGUST 14, 1981. MAY, YOU, stand tall and Grand throughout ETERNITY!
