I want to come and wave from a distance like a street urchin peering in through the window of the Baker's shop.......

Thanks y'all! Some day we'll have a regular party and get some locals to come.... Seems like everything you hear begins with, "in these unprecedented times... or uncertain times..... " All times are unprecedented. All times are uncertain. Always have been. It's the only real constant.

Might could set up a Zoom on a tablet or my chrome book, and set it where those interested could observe the actual ceremony live....

Yeah... I think I may do that.
Also, back stairs are 95% done.  They had shitty carpet on them when we moved in. Carpet deleted, we had issues.  100 yr old heart pine:  10 year old home depot pine.  Big difference in color and grain.  Fixed that shit

nice, but you're only supposed to carry her over the threshold, not up the stairs!

I filled the gaps in the landing with wedges of 1 yr old home depot pine (at Amanda's suggestion{or so she claims, at least} ), and chiseled and sanded... Then I stained the new wood with dark Trans Tint dye and water, cured. Then I sanded that back. That left the hard grain dark and the soft grain light. Then, fire.
I torched the hard grain, and lightly sanded that back. A coat of old antique maple Trans Tint and some mixing of the amber to level the color... I gave the older wood 2 coats of the maple and a jot of amber..... Got them close enough to not be noticeably different. Then 2 coats of triple thick poly, steel wool satin finish. We're pleased with the result.

Oh yeah. And we painted. Amanda did the risers and side trim, and removed the railing. I sanded and painted them, and cut and sized and shaped and painted the 27 little side moldings... I just have to nail the trim down, and Amanda will clean up the little bleed throughs of paint on the steps.
That's the other 5%
