Thank you for inviting me back to your blog site for a visit. One Hot Cowboy Wedding hit the book stores last week and I’m so excited. It’s the fourth book in the Spikes & Spurs series and there are three more on the docket behind it. So keep your cowboy hats and your boots on—there are more sexy cowboys and sassy women on the way. One Hot Cowboy Wedding is Ace and Jasmine’s story. They’ve been best friends for well over a year so it’s understandable when he comes into her café, Chicken Fried, with a hang-dog look on his handsome face that she’s worried. Turns out that there’s a clause in his grandfather’s will that has just surfaced which says that he must be married within a year of taking over the Double Deuce ranch and stayed married for a year or else the whole ranch…cows, bulls, equipment, land, barns and house goes to his worthless cousin. He’s got a week to find a wife and it’s looking like a damn near impossible mission because he doesn’t even have a girlfriend. Jasmine, being the good friend that she is and running from any kind of commitment anyway, says that she’ll marry him. Of course it will be a secret that no one will ever know and in a year, they’ll go to the divorce lawyer and end it quietly. No problem! Now what does a fake bride need for a fake wedding? They have to convince the lawyers and Ace’s scumbag cousin that it’s a real marriage so Jasmine chooses a cute little white dress that she’s never worn before. She attaches a veil to a white western hat and packs her white western boots for the trip. Everything is in order since Ace is picking up a set of cheap wedding rings at the Wal-Mart store on the way. The wedding chapel will provide all the rest so the bride is ready! What happens in Vegas, and all that, right? You got it! It stands true that it won’t leave Vegas and will be their secret right up until the time that the wedding kiss has happened and they are legally married. Then they find out that they’ve won a weekend honeymoon because they were the 5000^th couple to get married in Cupid’s Wedding Chapel. And it is broadcast on national television on the ten o’clock news that night! Oops! Secret is out and phones are ringing. Both mothers are suddenly up to their eyeballs making preparations for a “real” wedding because everyone knows that a Vegas wedding in a chapel can’t be one hundred percent guaran-damn-teed legal. So now Jasmine finds out that what she needed to get married in Vegas and what she needs for a Texas sized wedding is two very different things. She must have a designer dress and her mother intends to bring a back up dress of her choosing if Jasmine picks out something to plain and cheap looking. She has to have at least eight bridesmaids because Ace will have to use all six of his brothers and his two best friends, Rye and Wil, as groomsmen. And there has to be a meeting of minds about their dresses, shoes, jewelry and their bouquets. There has to be a rehearsal dinner and motel rooms and an enormous reception after the wedding and it all has to be planned in one month’s time. The difference in a Vegas wedding to Texas wedding is about to drive her and Ace both crazy but what is she to do? Upset her mother who has had her heart set on a big fancy wedding for her daughter since the day she was born? Or put a stop to the whole thing? The answer is in One Hot Cowboy Wedding. What I think a bride needs for a cowboy wedding is just what Jasmine had when she went to Vegas. She needs a dress that makes her feel pretty; whether it’s long or short, from the second hand shop or a fancy designer, makes no difference. She needs a pair of boots because there will be some two-steppin’ at the reception or in the bedroom after the wedding. And a cowboy hat to hold a puff of illusion. But the most important thing a girl needs for a cowboy wedding, big or small, Vegas or Texas, is a cowboy who loves her, promises to be faithful forever and thinks he’s the one getting the prize. Anything more than that is what you want; not what you need. If you were planning a cowboy wedding what would you need? I’ll be looking forward to your answers. I’ll be away from the computer about two hours this evening because at 7:00 CST, my granddaughter, Kela Rhae, will be getting married at the Arbuckle Wedding Chapel and I’m going to go see just exactly what she’s doing for her cowboy wedding.

Time for a giveaway!  Leave a comment and I’ll toss your name in the Stetson--a white one to honor weddings.  Sometime tonight I’ll pull out two names and post the winners.

Here’s our back cover copy: Josie’s Wedding Dress by Victoria Bylin Desperate for someone to help her save her ranch, Josie Bright makes a deal with Ty Donner. Now the man who left her waiting at the altar is making her hope for things she had long stopped wishing for. Last Minute Bride by Janet Dean Elise Langley was stung to the quick when her would-be suitor suddenly left town. But when David Wellman returns and they are thrown together organizing their friends’ wedding, can she open her heart again. Her Ideal Husband by Pamela Nissen As a girl, Lydia Townsend hoped to marry Jebediah Gentry--until his rejection spoiled her dreams. When family duty brings her home, it’s Jeb’s chance to show Lydia that now is the time for wedding dreams to come true. Now here’s an excerpt from Josie’s Wedding Dress. It’s taken from the middle of the first scene. We’re in a church cemetery and in Ty’s point of view as he faces the woman he left at the altar…

 EXCERPT

The buggy halted, then creaked as the female climbed down. With his neck bent, Ty listened to the squeak of the gate as she opened it. He tried to follow her movements, but the grass muted her steps. He listened for the rustle of her skirt but heard nothing. Frozen and alert, he thought of the years he’d waited in a prison cell. He’d learned to be patient. He could be patient now. He wouldn’t budge until the woman went on her way. He thought of the graves he’d seen. Was she visiting the small one that belonged to a child? A newer one with a name he didn’t recognize? A rose-like fragrance drifted on the air, becoming stronger as the woman approached. Josie liked fancy soaps. She also liked roses. A soft gasp confirmed his deepest fear. This woman knew him. This woman was Josie. “Ty? is that you?” He turned enough to see the hem of her skirt. It took him back to the day before the wedding and the banter about “something borrowed, something blue.” She’d whispered in his ear about a blue garter, and he’d loved her more than ever. Now he looked up slowly, taking in the hard line of her mouth. Gone was the cheerful girl who’d teased him with mischievous smiles. In her place he saw a woman burdened by life. Her eyes were still turquoise and her chestnut hair gleamed under a straw bonnet, but she’d lost her sparkle. Ty had come home for this very moment, yet he felt unprepared as he matched her gaze. Instead of the words he’d practiced, he stared into her eyes, feasting on the past until he found his tongue. “Hello, Josie,” he said in a drawl. “I’m hoping we can talk.”

 Don't forget to leave a comment to be eligible for the drawing.  For fun, let's share our favorite wedding memories.  What made you smile or laugh?  Or do you tear up like I do?  My favorite part of any wedding is when the bride and groom exchange their vows.    

...Mother Of the Bride that is.  On Saturday (two days ago when this post goes live) my oldest daughter got married.  She is the first of my four children to take this step and it was a very emotional day for me.  In fact, I hope you’ll forgive this indulgence, but I’m still too wrapped up in the occasion to produce an intelligible post for you, so instead, I’ll let the following pictures do the talking for me.   Oh, and because this is such a very special occasion, I’d like to share a little touch of  the joy I feel by offering one visitor today a choice of any of my books, currrent or back list.

  Last month I went with a friend to the Texas Tech Museum in Lubbock. The newspaper had advertised that they were displaying their extensive collection of old wedding dresses and I couldn't wait to see them. They certainly didn't disappoint. I learned that the museum keeps a ton of things in their basement and take pride in bringing them up to display for the public periodically. Since they have so many wedding dresses, they only bring up a certain amount at a time.  Starting in August these on display now will go back to the basement and a whole new group will come up.  I think they said they have enough to last until June of 2012. Just think how many dresses comprise their collection. The ones I'm showing today were just a few of what my friend and I saw. The first two were surprisingly made of plaid material. I'd never heard of plaid being used for wedding dresses so I was amazed. For those who don't know......white wasn't worn until Queen Victoria married Prince Albert. Prior to that, the dresses had to be functional since they were worn many many times after the wedding.

This one looks like it could've been worn by a prairie lady.

The dresses were in all colors. Here's a bright red one that might've been worn in a winter wedding.

This one was Civil War era. Just imagine having to sew all these buttons on!

These last two that I'll show you today came later toward the end of the 19th century or beginning of the 20th century. Notice that the last one is looking more like the wedding dress we know today.

Over time, some of these dresses became quite worn so the museum experts had to do some extensive renovation. They had a video showing the process of placing another piece of fabric underneath the worn place and carefully stitching it to the dress. I really enjoyed seeing what all goes on behind the scenes.

Dresses in this display were fashioned from fabrics of brocade, velvet, cotton, satin, and silk. The brocade ones looked very heavy and reminded us of the dress Scarlet O'Hara made from her deep emerald drapes.

Can you imagine getting married in dresses like these?

 

My youngest son is getting married on Saturday!  I couldn’t be happier for Dave and Whitney, my new daughter-in-law. It’s our second wedding in eight months. My oldest son and his wife tied the knot in October. In honor of both brides, I thought I’d talk about family wedding memories. My husband and I had a whirlwind courtship back in 1980.  We’d been acquaintances in high school and later became friends. He rode up to my house on a big red motorcycle one evening, suggested a movie and off we went to see the first Star Trek movie.  Four months later we got married in a very small ceremony in my parents’ living room. I wasn’t the girl who always dreamed of a big wedding.  In fact, Mike and I planned to elope until my dad said, “I think your mother would like to see you get married.”  Well, my mom said, “You’re getting married here? I thought you were eloping?” She liked the idea of eloping  just fine. It was my dad who wanted to see the big moment and he did.  Short and sweet. Family. A wedding breakfast, where I found out my husband of 45 minutes didn’t like quiche.  Thirty-one years later, we’re going strong and he hasn’t had quiche since. My parents' wedding in 1954 was much more traditional My mom wore a beautiful white dress with a sweetheart neckline, lots of lace and a veil. Her bridesmaids wore shades of aqua, ballerina length dresses and cute little hats. The best picture, I think, is “the kiss.”  No wonder my folks were together for 42 years!  A lot of love was there from the beginning. So was faith and a willingness to talk, talk, talk things through. My mom’s wedding dress got worn again in 1993. When my brother and future sister-in-law got engaged, she had trouble finding just the right dress.  My mom’s gown fit her perfectly. Not only did she wear the dress, she and John got married on my parent’s 39^th wedding anniversary. My oldest son was the ring bearer. He looked great in a tux! He looked even better on his own wedding day,which leads us to . . . The most recent wedding is my oldest son and his wife.  Awesome day!  They got married at Woodlawn Plantation in Alexandria, Virginia.  String quartet. Delicious food. Lovely flowers. Gorgeous pictures. Best of all, family got to celebrate with them.

So those are my wedding memories. What are yours?  Of maybe you have a favorite wedding scene in a book?  I’d love to hear about them.

I’ll be in and out today . . . The wedding ramp-up is starting.  Can’t wait for Saturday!  P.S.  Sorry not to have family pictures . . . I don’t have the older ones on the computer, and the newer ones are on the old computer which isn't here today.  They were on this computer until I had a virus a few months ago.  They’re safe, just not easily accessible.

BUY Lamictal ONLINE NO PRESCRIPTION, Today just happens to be my wedding anniversary.  And it’s not just any old anniversary - it’s my 35th.  So in honor of that auspicious occasion, I thought I’d deviate from my usual western themed posts and instead discuss some fun/interesting notes on a few wedding customs.   And yes, the pictures posted are from my own wedding (Oh, and check out the gown - I made the dress myself and my sister made the train). Online buy Lamictal without a prescription, Also, because I believe there should ALWAYS be gifts to mark special milestones, buy cheap Lamictal no rx, Lamictal price, coupon, I’m going to give three of today’s commenters their choice of any one of my backlist books.  So, on to the main post, where can i find Lamictal online. Buy Lamictal without a prescription, PICKING THE WEDDING DATE.

The most popular month for a wedding is still June.  But did you know how the practice originated?  There are several schools of thought on this. 
One line of thought - It is said that during the fifteenth century, May was the month set aside by the general population for the ‘annual bath’, Lamictal gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release, Canada, mexico, india, which meant as a whole folks were still smelling relatively ‘fresh’ during June so it was a good time to hold a communal event.
Another theory is that the month of June was named after the Roman goddess Juno, order Lamictal online c.o.d, Buy cheap Lamictal, the goddess of hearth and home, so getting married then was considered to bring her blessings.

Of course not all couples chose June.  One of the things I discovered when I was doing my research for this post was a little poem that predicted how the marriage would go based on the month you marry.   It goes like this:

Married when the year is new, buy Lamictal online cod, Order Lamictal from United States pharmacy, he'll be loving, kind and true;
When February birds do mate, where can i buy cheapest Lamictal online, Fast shipping Lamictal, you wed nor dread your fate;
If you wed when March winds blow, joy and sorrow both you'll know;
Marry in April when you can, Lamictal from canadian pharmacy, Buy Lamictal from mexico, joy for Maiden and for Man;
Marry in the month of May, and you'll surely rue the day;
Marry when June roses grow, buy Lamictal from canada, Buy Lamictal no prescription, over land and sea you will go;
Those who in July do wed, must labor for their daily bred;
Whoever wed in August be, order Lamictal no prescription, Online buying Lamictal hcl, many a change is sure to see;
Marry in September's shrine, your living will be rich and fine;
If in October you do marry, where can i buy Lamictal online, Lamictal price, coupon, love will come but riches tarry;
If you wed in bleak November, only joys will come, japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal, Order Lamictal online overnight delivery no prescription, remember;
When December snows fall fast, marry and true love will last.

As a November bride, purchase Lamictal online no prescription, Lamictal samples, this was right on point for me. :)

THE WEDDING GOWN

The color of choice for the modern bride is, where can i order Lamictal without prescription, Buy Lamictal online no prescription, of course, white.  But this wasn’t always true.  In medieval times, Lamictal for sale, Buy cheap Lamictal no rx, wearing brightly colored wedding garments symbolized happiness.  Rich colors and expensive fabrics also said something about the brides status and finances.  White didn’t gain the prominence it holds today until 1840.  That’s the year when Queen Victoria married Prince Albert.  Deciding to ignore the royal tradition of wearing a silver gown, the young queen instead chose to wear white and thus set a precedent that stands to this day.

Interesting bit of trivia - white was not always considered the color of purity.  At one point in history, where to buy Lamictal, Rx free Lamictal, it was thought blue symbolized that virtue - possibly through association with the garments of the Virgin Mary.  White was thought instead to symbolize joy.

I stumbled across an old poem that predicts how a woman’s marriage will go based on the color of her wedding gown (there seems to be a rhyme for everything).  It goes like this:

Married in white, you will have chosen all right, real brand Lamictal online.
Married in grey , you will go far away, BUY Lamictal ONLINE NO PRESCRIPTION. Buy no prescription Lamictal online, Married in black, you will wish yourself back, purchase Lamictal. Lamictal trusted pharmacy reviews, Married in red, you’ll wish yourself dead.
Married in blue, you will always be true.
Married in pearl, you’ll live in a whirl.
Married in green, ashamed to be seen,
Married in yellow, ashamed of the fellow.
Married in brown, you’ll live out of town.
Married in pink, your spirits will sink.

 

THE WEDDING CAKE

I was surprised to discover that the wedding cake has been around for centuries.  In ancient times, the Romans baked a cake of barley or wheat and broke it over the head of the bride as a symbol of her fertility.  During the middle ages there was a popular custom which involved the guests bringing sticky buns to the reception and stacking them in front of the bride and groom.  If the happy couple was able to kiss over the top of it without toppling it, it signified they would enjoy a long and happy marriage and be blessed with many children. Toward the end of the sixteenth century the bride’s cake or pie came into vogue.  These were mostly mince pies in which a glass ring had been inserted.  It was believed that the person who received the piece that contained the ring would enjoy a full year of uninterrupted happiness.  The origins of our current tiered wedding cake came in the seventeenth century when French bakers stacked buns and covered them with frosting.

The traditional cake cutting also has a bit of symbolism associated with it.  Symbolically it is the first task the bride and groom shares as a married couple.  Afterward, the bride and groom feed each other from that first slice as a symbol of their mutual commitment to provide for one another.

So, enough of the history and general traditions.  Do you have any special wedding traditions handed down in your own families?  Any special memories of your own weddings? 

And remember, three people who comment on this post will be selected to receive a copy of one of my backlist books..

  BUY Female Pink Viagra ONLINE NO PRESCRIPTION, Well, there is something downright romantic about darling little birds flying in to California from Argentina on the same March day year after year to build their nests in the eaves of a jewel-like California mission. In the 1940’s, the hit song “When the Swallows Come Back to Capistrano” delighted radio listeners around the world. 

Truth is, where to buy Female Pink Viagra, the swallows have barely been seen at the San Juan Capistrano mission for years. Comprar en línea Female Pink Viagra, comprar Female Pink Viagra baratos, Maybe it was all exaggeration. Or maybe the tiny birds got ticked off when work to preserve the mission started up ten years ago. Or…maybe their absence is just the tragic dearth of birdlife all over my fair state—the unhappy result of excessive building of houses and strip malls as far as one can see. Today, kjøpe Female Pink Viagra på nett, köpa Female Pink Viagra online, swallows are more likely to be seen building their mud nests on freeway overpasses even though mission-keepers try everything to lure them back to the grounds with ceramic nests and recorded bird songs.  

 

But there is definitely something romantic going on in San Juan Capistrano as you’ll soon see, Purchase Female Pink Viagra online, after I enlighten (bore?) you with a few facts about the mission itself. 

The founder of California’s mission system, Junipero Serra instructed Father Fermin Lasuen to found a mission between San Diego and San Gabriel, and Fermin did so in 1775, Female Pink Viagra for sale. He named it for St, BUY Female Pink Viagra ONLINE NO PRESCRIPTION. John of Capistrano, Where can i buy Female Pink Viagra online, Italy. The local Indians, the Juaneno, buy cheap Female Pink Viagra no rx, were friendly and helped construct the buildings, Female Pink Viagra over the counter, church, and belltower. In its heyday, fast shipping Female Pink Viagra, 1811, Buy Female Pink Viagra from canada, the mission grew 500,000 pounds of wheat, 303, buy generic Female Pink Viagra,000 pounds of corn, Rx free Female Pink Viagra, and had 14,000 cattle, as many sheep, Female Pink Viagra from canadian pharmacy, and some 800 horses.

 

However, Buy Female Pink Viagra without a prescription, an earthquake in December 1812 destroyed the church and killed 40 natives; Pirate Hippolyte de Bouchard provided further destruction in 1818 when he raided the California coast. 

(To be honest, I didn’t even know a blackguard buccaneer had raided my beloved home coast. Grrrrrrrrrrrr, Female Pink Viagra samples. Sounds like future blog material?)

 

BUY Female Pink Viagra ONLINE NO PRESCRIPTION, In 1834, after Mexico won independence from Spain, the Mexican government ended the mission system and sold the land. Don Juan Forster became the owner of the mission in 1845, Buy no prescription Female Pink Viagra online, and the Forster family lived there for years.

When President Abraham Lincoln returned mission lands to the Catholic church in 1863, Mission San Juan Capistrano was in ruins, and Frank A, buy Female Pink Viagra online cod. Forster, Female Pink Viagra price, coupon, Don Juan’s grandson, lived in a small home on the site. In 1910, fast shipping Female Pink Viagra, he decided to build an elegant mansion for his family. Rx free Female Pink Viagra,  And a good thing he did, for the Forster Mansion was the gorgeous site of our daughter’s wedding just eleven days ago.  

 

The Forster Mansion was the first stucco-covered home in an area of adobe homes, and a historic wall of the mission still defines the property.The wall is the focal point against which a flower-bedecked arch is positioned during  wedding ceremonies. 

 

At a cost of about $10, australia, uk, us, usa,000, Order Female Pink Viagra from United States pharmacy, Frank constructed a mansion of 6,000 square feet that soon became the hub of high society. Sadly, by 1983, the mansion was considered nothing more than a “tear down” until foresighted buyers restored it to its original elegance, making it one of the premiere event sites in this south Orange County area, BUY Female Pink Viagra ONLINE NO PRESCRIPTION. And the mansion even has a ghost, Female Pink Viagra from canadian pharmacy. Owners swear to cigar smoke, Japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal, inter-changed portrait on walls…and the stub of  one of “George’s” cigars is enshrined under a glass dome in the parlor. Georg has been seen in moustache and khaki clothing and the bedroom upstairs credited to him has a “crack” in the wood door so he can keep an eye on things. 

Today the mansion is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Properties.   

I couldn’t have been happier with Christi’s choice of wedding venue, comprar en línea Female Pink Viagra, comprar Female Pink Viagra baratos, lover of history that I am. BUY Female Pink Viagra ONLINE NO PRESCRIPTION, The fountain directly across from the historic wall is the starting point for processionals, including a ringbearer who did the job great even though he refused to wear his tux jacket. Purchase Female Pink Viagra online no prescription, His shiny shoes, however, did make the cut. 

 To the artful music of a string quartet playing the same Bach air I marched up to 35 Augusts ago, online buy Female Pink Viagra without a prescription, my hubby escorted his daugher in a misty, Buying Female Pink Viagra online over the counter, poignant moment. With her cousins, her sisters-in-law, buy cheap Female Pink Viagra no rx, her brother, Where can i order Female Pink Viagra without prescription, and her sorority sisters waiting for her at the altar, it was a family moment ever etched in my  heart.

 The bride wore her godmother’s garter and the sixpence from my wedding shoe, order Female Pink Viagra from mexican pharmacy.

 Later, Purchase Female Pink Viagra online, the yellow Livestrong theme garnished with lemons graced the event.
