Wes Hale, Good Lords and Ladies Faire!
I direct a little choral ensemble at my church. We get our Christmas program out of the way early every year so we can spend the remainder of the month going to Christmas parties and getting snookered on eggnog. On Sunday night we did a Madrigal dinner and had a lot of fun with it. We had Jesters, Knights, Maidens in Distress, Saucy Wenches, and since I was on crutches, I came as Sir Gimpalot. I give you -

What a great looking couple !! (You’ll note that she doesn’t seem to mind that he’s short – hah !!) Back in high school (aka The Dark Ages) we used to do a madrigal dinner every year as part of concert choir. Thankfully, I don’t remember much about it other than the itchy tights.
Well met, good Sir!
fun!!! you guys look great. (:
Stopping by to say hi. Sounds (and looks) like the Christmas program was a good time!!
Hey! I have been AWOL from Xanga since last Friday morn. (Not my choice). I am back now and hurried over to see how you are doing. Love the photos and love Christmas presentations like the one you did! Hope you are healing nicely.
Sir Gimpalot could have been Sir Lancelot if he hadnt been trying to carry a large, heavy, akward object up a ladder…..Im just saying…thats all. This dinner looks like awesome fun, I love dress up occasions and since we dont do Halloween what better time for it than a beautiful rennaisance dinner. For my 40th birthday (in a year and a half) I want to do a “funky formal” theme and have everyone come in outlandish, or period formal wear.
Sir Gimpalot! Love it! You and your wife look great!
Gimpy has done well for himself. I swear you don’t age at all…the only thing that’s changed in your photos is your hair!
What a delightful couple! It sounds like a lot of fun too.
Verily, a cast of likely rogues!
You look very spiffy indeed.
Fun! I used to belong to a madrigal group before I went back to work full time. It’s how I made my Christmas money.
hey I wanted to see the crutches.
LOVE it!
What a fun time! You both look GREAT!!!
What brand of church is it?

RYC: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You two make a dashing couple! Great costumes, too!
