Our wedding was awesome too. We had our reception at the Ukrainian hall; as did my parents in 1966, and two of my three brothers after me in the 90's.
Granted, this was almost 21 years ago, but we paid $13 a plate for an indescribable feast. Hall rental uncluded. Had to pay $75 for their bartender but could supply our own booze.

Very cool! :)
When my folks got married in 1960, weddings lasted an entire day. Czech/German heritage. They were married at 8a and the celebration went on...!
Ours was awesome too! Although, it only lasted about a 3rd of a day...we were married at 3p and the celebration went on...! ;)

Yeah, heart stuff isn"t fun. We spent 2 years hauling our then 15 year old son back and forth to Sick Kids. They finally ruled out non-sustained VT, and have settled on a diagnosis of minor heart anomaly due to a malformation on the lower left ventricle. He has had no episodes of syncope in 2 years, 2 acceptable holter monitor tests, and earlier this year, he was cleared to resume sports.
All turned out fine, thankfully, but he will have to monitored regularly for the rest of his life.

So very glad to hear he's OK! Even though he'll have to be monitored the rest of his life, at least he, y'all, and the Docs are all aware. The not knowing can be the worst part. Once ya' know what you're dealin' with, It can actually be a Godsend. I feel much more comfortable now, as such. :)
When we were younger, both myself and my middle bro were diagnosed with heart murmurs. We were told we would probably grow out of them like most kids. We both did. I played soccer for years and when I had those palpitations I just figured I hadn't "grown" out of the murmur yet. I had, but somethin' else was messin' with me. :confused: Also, since SVT isn't fatal, in and of itself, the Docs have cleared me for all my thrill ride junkieness...!!! :joyfull: :)

Quick break here - just finished filling the stockings. We have a tradition here that everyone gets an orange in their stocking ((my family's tradition) and a shiny penny (DH's family's tradition). I had to scour the house looking for the last 2 shiny pennies, but all is well. DD should be arriving soon.

Stockings were simpler when we were kids.

Every year Santa brought a giant navel orange, a perfect Red Delicious apple, a candy cane, a Pez dispenser with refills, and a handful of foil wrapped chocolate balls. 35 - 40 years ago, fruit was very expensive in Canada off season, so that Red Delicious apple was a delightful switch from Macintosh apples from the cold cellar.

I cannot imagine any kid jumping for joy over an apple, an orange and a candy cane these days.

I always thought the orange and the apple were in my stocking to fill up space so Santa wouldn't have to fill it up with "good" stuff! :eek:

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Saget Claus is coming to town
Saget Claus is coming to town
Saget Claus is coming to town
He's making a list,
Checking it twice;
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice.
Saget Claus is coming to town
Saget Claus is coming to town
Saget Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Saget Claus is coming to town
Saget Claus is coming to town
Saget Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
Goodness sake
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Saget Claus is coming to town
Saget Claus is coming to town
Saget Claus is coming

Saget's a busy man he has no time to play
He's got millions of stockings to fill on Christmas day

That's where the tradition of oranges came from in my famiy too. I keep it up to remind us of how fortunare we are.

I hang candy canes on the tree and Christmas Eve we each pick one and eat it. Pretty dumb, but it's what we do.

Yes, my mother also put an orange in our stockings, too!

Many families have their own Christmas traditions. All are special. When I was a kid, my family always joined in a fun activity after Christmas dinner. We'd all play a board game, or work together on a crafts project. Fast forward to adulthood—tomorrow on Christmas Day, after a festive dinner, my sister and I are going to decorate gingerbread houses. (I already told my husband that he has to be the judge of which one is the best! ;))

All this talk of oranges in stockings sent me to Google.

"Did you know that the tradition of putting oranges into Christmas stockings dates back to the times of St. Nicholas, himself? It's true. The story goes that St. Nicholas overheard some young maidens who were upset because they were going to be sold off into slavery because they did not have enough money for a respectable dowry, therefore no husband could be found for them. After the girls had washed their stockings they had hung them to dry by the fire. The next morning they found enough gold coins in their stockings for a very adequant dowry. It is suspected that the coins had been thrown into the window or down the chimney and had landed in the stockings. The gold that St. Nicholas is known for throwing has been represented by gold balls therefore making oranges, and even apples, the symbol of the gold."

How does the Burgermeister Meisterburger factor into this version of the story?
