A DOLL'S WEDDING, A DREAM COME TRUE!!

A DOLL'S WEDDING, A DREAM COME TRUE 

in the summer of 2019

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

Once upon a time! In 1955

an illustrator Tasha Tudor

and her photographer friend  

 Nell Dorr thought it a wonderful

 idea to have and film;

 "A Wedding in a Land of Dolls"!

Life Magazine did a spread on it!

1955 Life Magazine featuring the wedding

And it became somewhat famous!! 

Tasha's children and their friends

 manipulated the happy doll couple 

and the groom, "Captain Thaddeus Crain"

 was artfully crafted by Tasha!

Tasha's antique French Fashion Doll 
Melissa Shakespeare was the bride! 
It was great fun and many Tasha 
enthusiasts of today still find 
this movie and the Life Magazine 
article a sweet romance!

Someone else had a dream to 
re~enact the wedding and
 so a plan was devised!

Melinda has a doll that was made
 by Tasha Tudor! Her name is 
Elspeth and she wanted to help 
make her sister's wedding,

"An enchanting BELIEVABLE 
make~believe celebration" !! 

And so the vision began
 and plans were made!
And a perfect place would be a 
special marionette theater... 

….and many dolls would attend

There would be joy and merriment!

 Edgar Allan Crow would 

commence the ceremony!

and there were flowers

 The theater needed to be 
decorated and so...

 Lady Linda made beautiful
  daisy wreaths and garlands 

 Ladies were invited

and joined in the fun

 Little girls attended with 

their flower girl dolls 

 Melinda and the Bride Miss Daisy

 were so beautiful and shared 

that butterfly anticipation

 Edgar Allan Crow

 practiced his lines in his head

 praying he wouldn't forget a word!

The bride and her maids waited 

Patiently for the ceremony

 to begin all dressed in their 

finest with white, pink and lace

 A music box was brought to play 

 And little flower girl dolls were 

excited to be part of the this day

 And Obadiah the groom's 

father gave last minute advice 

with a babe on his knee

 Edger Allan Crow was ready 

in his white wedding cloth

 And harp music played so lovely

for the celebration by  Kristen 

 And so the ceremony began

Mr. Atticus wore a suit that

had belonged to

 Lt. Thaddeus Crane sewn 

by the hands of  Tasha!  

The music box began to play

The bride's maids wore pale pink

A poem was recited

"Daisy and Atticus,

 we are gathered together"..

Do you take ?

I do!

I do!

I now pronounce you

 Husband and Wife!

You may kiss the bride!

I now present Mr. and Mrs. Atticus Henry !

Elspeth was very pleased! 

She realized the 

"directions of her dreams!"

I love you for ever! 

everyone waited with anticipation

for the new couple to arrive

A punch bowl that 

once belonged to Tasha Tudor 

 was set upon the head table

And the guest tables were set

 Dolls arrived in their most 

glamorous clothes

And delectable cakes 

and deserts awaited

 Cutting the cake!

of the happy couple!
