Saturday, September 26, St. Cyprian's opened its sanctuary to visitors from near and far for a glorious display of wedding memorabilia and harvest bounty, donated by parishioners. Your intrepid blog reporter, however, was able to have a sneak preview the evening before the event, and snapped these photos...

Say "YES!" to the Dress!
What a glorious array of gowns on view...

| The late Dorothy Ronnes married her Canadian soldier in Britain in 1942 when white fabric was in short supply. This gown was made of peach silk, and shortened for future use on special occasions. |
