    Thank you very much everyone. Sorry I haven't been around again, this time it was just a wayward internet connection.

    We're both very happy :mrgreen:

    Caradoc, the gent in the "Braveheart" greatkilt is my friend Tyler. The kilt is from the same weaver who made the kilts for the movie, though his is the regular strip of fabric, not the Miracle Speed Greatkilts that were done for the movie. His is 4 yards, but he's very thin, so it works perfectly for him.

    I'm still going through pictures and getting pictures (still haven't gotten the pro ones yet), but here are a couple. I mentioned I made a large number of things for the wedding, and here's a few. First, the completed rings:



    And here's the cake. I made the cake stands for all but the largest, which sat directly on the table. Though you can't see it from these pictures, there's a different finial on each end of every one. I also made the cake service and knife.



    The cake topper was my Grandma and Papa's, and then my Mom and Dad's. We were going to use Cassie's Mom and Dad's topper, but my Grandma passed away 8 days before the wedding. It was very difficult. We decided to use her cake topper instead, so my Mom (who made Cassie's dress) put a piece of Cassie's wedding dress on the bride, and a piece of plaid on the groom.

    Very impressive indeed.
