Boy! I send out the invitations then forget to put up the web page that's listed in it! Sorry about that. Life has been more than just a little chaotic lately. And to top it all off, I've been having server problems, hence even further delays!
We have one major change from what is listed in the invitations at this point.
Due to problems with the Elk's Lodge in Payson, we have moved the reception site to the Inn of Payson. The Inn of Payson is actually much nicer, so it will work out better this way. The Inn of Payson has their own web site, which can be found at:

MEDIEVAL ATTIRE
For anyone who is interested in dressing up for the wedding, there are three main options: renting a costume, making a costume, or buying a costume.
RENTAL: There are costume rental places in Tucson and Phoenix which carry a fair selection of Medieval/Rennaissance clothing. Here is a costume place in Phoenix:

The Lady in Waiting, Maid Marrion dresses, Medieval Lady, Nobleman costumes and on down from there are pretty good. Basically just ignore the first eight costumes (down to Jester3), as they all look rather poor. The rest that I looked at looked as though they would work just fine though.
Here is another custume place in Phoenix:

They are: Fantasy Costume Rentals For Adults 826 S Mill Ave Tempe AZ 85281 (480) 858-0805
MAKE YOUR OWN:
Here are some costume ideas if you want to make your own. Medieval costumes can be extremely easy to make. The best thing to do if you decide to make something is to go to a local fabric store and look through their books. Many of the major pattern makers are on-line as well.

PURCHASE: We have purchased all of the clothing for the wedding attendants at Chivalry Sports, which is based out of Tucson but also sells via catalog sales and over the internet. They have nice costumes at largely reasonable prices. You can find them on the web at:
