On ice
When the Cooks were married
in a broomball-themed wed-
ding, the traditional cake was
replaced with an ice sculpture
adorned with broomball para-
phernalia.
Wedding on ice
Continued from page 16
Even an old pair of Greg's broom-
ball shoes were integrated into the
decorations. Judy created flower
arrangements in the foot- wear
which was then placed on pedestals
on either side of the couple as they
took their vows.
The bouquets held by Judy and her
attendant were mounted on minia-
ture brooms.
The pair made use of the penalty
box as well, using that as the place
they went to sign the paper work,
When the big day finally arrived,
Judy and Greg were shocked to see
the Blyth arena seating area three-
quarters full. Though they had only
sent invitations to family and a few
friends, an open invitation to the
wedding had gone out to their
broomball and baseball teams. Word
quickly spread about the unique
occasion and many area residents
stopped by to witness the wedding.
"We had more than 300 sign in,'
says Greg, "but there were a lot that
didn't."
The theme followed at the recep-
tion upstairs.
An ice sculpture with Judy's per-
sonalized wedding invitation embed-
ded in it, also incorporated crossed
brooms in the design.
Though there was a lot going on
for Judy and Greg the summer prior
to their October marriage (Greg's
daughter was wed)' the couple say
their theme wedding was not too dif-
ficult to plan. It just took a lot of
phone calls to track down all the
items they wanted.
"The biggest thing was getting set
up Saturday morning and taking it
down afterwards," says Greg. But
with the help of family and friends,
that too went well.
With all the personal touches
added by Judy on the invitations and
the relaxed atmosphere at the come-
as-you-are event, it was a wedding
many guests told the couple they
would not forget.
"It was a lot of fun and that eased
the tension," says Judy.
When asked if they would recom-
mend a unique theme for other cou-
ples planing their nuptials, Judy
says, "Go for it. It's you. It repre-
sents what you are about. It advertis-
es what you are involved."
"For us, broomball is what brought
us together," says Judy. "It just
made sense."
Choose a headpiece to comple-
ment the- style of your dress. For
example, if your gown is simple, opt
for a more elaborate headpiece; if
you'll be wearing an ornate dress,
consider a more modest hair accesso-
ry.
Here are the newest options:
• All-over lace mantillas: Fine-lace
veils usually secured to elegant
combs, gently framing the face.
• Tiaras: Designed in a three-quar-
ter circle, these ornate crowns can be
worn with any hairstyle, and rest
high atop the head. This season, look
One of the reasons brides may not
want to be married in their own
church is because they don't believe
it is suitable for a wedding.
They may believe the church is too
small, too dark, too old-fashioned or
— too modern. - •
Another reason is that the church
may have two side aisles instead of
one, centre aisle.
The brides just cannot figure out
who would sit where, which aisle the
wedding party should use, or how to
make sure everyone can see the
bridal party.
It really isn't too difficult to adapt
the traditional wedding processional
and recessional.
If both aisles are used, the wedding
for gold wire designs accented with
semiprecious stones, pearls or porce-
lain-like flowers.
• Hair ornaments: For a simply
romantic effect, scatter silk flowers
throughout your hair (a lovely way to
complement the turn-of-the-century-
style gowns).
• Hats: Consider a half or full Juliet
cap, a simple pillbox, a cloche with a
turned-up brim (for the flapper look),
an open-crown garden hat, a
Moroccan fez With veiling that spills
from -the top, or an Edwardian top
hat.
party enters the church and proceeds
down the left aisle.
After the ceremony is completed,
they leave the church along the right
aisle.
To ensure everyone can see, the
church is divided down the middle
from front to back. The bride's fami-
ly and friends sit on the left and right
sides of the left aisle. The groom's
family and friends sit on the left and
right side of the right aisle.
If the bride would.prefer to arrive
and leave by the same aisle, one aisle
is simply not used. Friends and fam-
ily are seated as they would be nor-
mally, with bride's family on the left
of the aisle being used and groom's
family on the right.
