I'll even buy my own airline ticket to get there - just to save DD some moolah.
Ooh, ooh, I played handbells at my old church. Got any trios? I can play four in hand down to the G below middle C, if necessary.
I had to try to play two in hand with G4-C5 and had a hard time with it. It is much easier with the higher bells. I'm sure I can find some trios for us. I know we have a book of bell pieces suitable for weddings in our collection at church. I think it is for 5 ringers but I bet we can cover them all between the 3 of us. Do either of you play the piano? I have a duet with piano of Ave Maria that I've been wanting to play. I no longer have anyone willing to try a duet - so I'm shopping for bell ringers. Want to visit KC?
IMA, I'll send you a list of the songs so that you can make your selection.
Life is good!

I am a lousy piano player. I can play the hymnbook, but not so people could sing to it.

That. Yeah. I play a badass Marantz surrounded by 6 pairs of very efficient high-quality speakers.
That juke joint of mine will hold a grand opening before very long.
All crazies will get comp tickets for opening night!
Drinks? You'll be on your own, there.

I'm lucky to have an amplifier that goes to 11.

No! I'm glad you couldn't see it! That message was intended for 2 people, and I accidentally sent it to every single global registered user on CTN.
I have tried to recall the message. I'm glad you're not seeing it. That means that others aren't seeing it.

I just figured you wanted some Virginia legal advice.
I will forward the bill to DD, since he is so kind as to look after us all.

You mean devildeac has adopted all of us? I'm so excited! I thought he had only agreed to cover Ima and her OP's renewal of wedding vows in Paris.

We have exited the wedding planning/payment business, but, what the hey, ENSURE for all!

Since DD is paying, the Rev Lawgrad would certainly offer his services for a small fee.
Hey, you've got the makings of a choir, too - CathyCA, DinK, and myself. Anyone else? (In the interest of having a somewhat balanced group, I'm alto and not very strong. I blend well.)
I'll sing tenor...
Ten or twelve miles away that is...

Ima, looks like the party is really taking off. You've got the preacher and the music covered - you'll just need to pick a suitable song for us to sing. Sounds like it's going to be a great party, based on all the people that want to come. All that's left is catering and location. Devildeac, what say you? Where are we having this grand event? How big a party can we have?
Damn. I spend a couple days away from CTN on the road and folks are spending next year's income already. I've agreed to Ensure for all and might even throw in a couple Diet Cokes for the non-senior crowd.

Love, Ima
I've been thinking about this, Ima. I think devildeac hasn't responded yet because he's excited and honored that you've chosen him to play such an important role in your big day - so much so, in fact, that he's completely speechless. The lack of response signals tacit approval. I think you should proceed with your plans - the bigger the better. Devildeac obviously wants it that way.
In thinking about your Paris/Italy plan, it seems to me that it would save your benefactor a lot of money if you chartered a jet to carry all the guests for your special day. Knowing devildeac's generous nature, I'm sure he'd want to cover travel as well, and first class tickets for 200+ guests would set him back a little bet. A special charter flight, complete with an onboard chef, would be so much cheaper.
That devildeac sure is a great guy. Have you thought about asking him to give you away at the ceremony?
If I give her away at the ceremony, her house and the OP's car goes with her. Or, more precisely, she goes one way and the dwelling, fixtures, furniture and furnishings come my way.
