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...
Edgar Allan Crow would
commence the ceremony!
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!
