Episode 6: Madame Noscova’s Moscow Mission

Madame Noscova’s Mission

Madame Noscova’s Moscow Mission is the sixth episode in the micro-series, Dolls are Different…or are they? a pegdoll production. The Doll community has wedding planning fever! Family and friends, both old and new, are busy thinking up ways to contribute to Peg & Pog’s wedding day in the Rose Garden. The suggestions and ideas come thick and fast from family and friends on what should happen on the wedding day.

Madame Noscova, that peculiar Russian ballet teacher, is busy conducting dance lessons for the newly-formed break-dance ballet group, the Beat Belles. Madame Noscova gets caught up in the excitement and insists that there must be dancing at Peg & Pog’s wedding!

Before Peg & Pog know it, Madame Noscova and the Beat Belles decide that they will dance at the wedding! Madame Noscova declares that she must visit the home of the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow for wedding dance inspiration!

Peg & Pog really do not know what to do!

Wedding Dance Inspiration

Anjeanette, Anjoane, Anlouise, Anmarie, Antenile, and DP, Peg’s little 8-year old brother, form the Beat Belles, and they decide that they also need inspiration. After all, they are the ones who will be dancing!

DP, ever the dedicated artist, stays home to improve on that famous break-dance move, the ‘Orbital Rotation’. This is the move that Pog demonstrates to DP at Peg & Pog’s first meeting in the Rose Garden, and DP is keen to impress with a unique ‘busting’ move.

Madame Noscova and the rest of the Beat Belles take off on their Moscow Mission for inspiration! Adventure, excitement and delightful scenery await the little travellers. They cover long distances in the air, on the water, and over land to reach their destination. They are fearless in the face of danger! Finally, Madame Noscova and the Beat Belles find their inspiration at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. They dance with such grace and skill, and create wonderful dance steps to perform at Peg & Pog’s wedding. Meanwhile, Peg & Pog are trying to be positive and look forward to their wedding day in the Rose Garden.

Peg & Pog’s Wedding Helper

Romantic Wedding Ceremony Ideas

Do you love romantic moments but need some help with ideas? A personal ring ceremony is not only special but it also adds that romantic touch to a wedding ceremony.

The bringing of the wedding rings

Delightful, romantic wedding ceremony!

A small and very excited group of guests gather in a high-rise apartment in the inner Brisbane City for an intimate, micro wedding. Lots of smiles, laughter, taking of photos and introductions all round. We are very relaxed and thoroughly enjoying the moment! The widest of smiles from the Bride and Groom express their happy, warm feelings! Everyone is sharing the love.

Romantic Wedding Rings

Gasps of delight from the guests as the romantic wedding rings ritual begins! The wedding rings are brought by the Bride and Groom and are touched by only them. See the Bride’s ring in the photo, it is the one with the pink bow! The Groom places his wedding ring in the Bride’s hand and gives his personal wedding vow, then it is the Bride’s turn. Beautiful moment!

This ring ceremony is based on the Celtic tradition of ‘bringing’ and ‘placing’ of the wedding rings and is quite different to the traditional exchanging rings. This charming ring ceremony expresses the significance and symbolism of wedding rings shared by the Bride and Groom. A very old, traditional ring ceremony lost in the mists of time, yet very modern!

Are you are a true romantic who delights in the personal touch to weddings?

I just love to create these magic moments for couples. Personalise your romantic ring ceremony with unique rituals. Bringing of the rings, giving and receiving of the rings, exchanging the rings are just some ideas for ring rituals.

Tell me your ideas, hopes and dreams and I will assist you to plan your wedding ceremony, and share with you many more romantic wedding ceremony ideas.

Garden Wedding – Glenda J Ashleigh Celebrant

Garden Wedding with Brisbane’s Best Celebrant

A Garden wedding at home or in a park with Brisbane’s Best Celebrant, Glenda J Ashleigh, is just delightful! The sun is shining, the birds are singing and everything is as it should be – perfect! All is well.

Peg & Pog garden wedding

Parks and gardens in Brisbane, Queensland (fantastic one day, perfect the next!) make great venues for outdoor wedding ceremonies.

Brisbane’s Best Celebrant, Glenda J Ashleigh, conducts the wedding ceremony just the way that Peg and Pog want.

Everyone feels relaxed and happy. They really enjoy the warm and personal ceremony and the charming garden setting. The roses are blooming, the grass feels like carpet, and there is plenty of space for all to see what is happening.

Garden Weddings & Weather

Providing the sun keeps shining, all will be well for the wedding party, service providers, and of course those very important people, the guests. Delightful! But then, who can control the weather?

A few clouds drift over, and then some more… Quick! Here comes the rain, run! Where do people run to? What do they do when they get there? What do you do with soggy people? A bedraggled bridal party does not look good, especially in photographs and videos.

If you consider holding your wedding ceremony in a garden or one of the many delightful parks in and around Brisbane, be prepared with a ‘rainy day’ option. Is there shelter close to the ceremony area? Is the shelter large enough to provide cover for everyone? You might want to tell guests to bring their ‘brollies, or you can provide umbrellas for them.

Be prepared! If you are planning an outdoor or garden wedding park in a park in the Brisbane area, check out the shelter option in your chosen park. Avoid becoming a ‘soggie’ on your wedding day! Delight your guests, they will thank you for your good planning.

Episode 1: Love blooms

Dolls are different, or are they? a pegdoll production

Love blooms for Peg & Pog.

Peg & Pog feature in the micro-series “Dolls are Different, or are they?” which follows the fortunes of all involved in planning a peg doll wedding. This delightful micro-series that will enchant all those who are young at heart and all those who wish to be! Peg & Pog have their own language of love, and helped (or hindered?) by various members of their families, they embark on the uncertain journey of planning a wedding.

Love Blooms

Peg & Pog ‘discover’ each other in the local park. Peg and her little, 8-year-old brother, DP, take a walk in the park. The sun is shining, and Peg stops to smell the roses while DP decides to … well, that would be giving the story away! It is enough to say that there is action, drama, pathos and happy endings.

Peg is a girl who knows love when she sees it! She is kind, considerate and quick off the mark. Pog is a boy who also knows love when he sees it! He is kind, considerate and almost quick off the mark (and handsome, talented, etc, etc).

Peg Doll

Pog Doll

Does Peg really know what love is all about? How can Peg tell what true love actually feels like?

Does Peg expect too much? What does Peg really want from the love of her life?

Does Pog really know what love is all about? How does Pog know what the language of love actually sounds like?

Does Pog expect enough? Is love enough? What does Pog expect of love and life?

These questions and many more occupy the thoughts of the little lovers as they meet, ‘fall’ in love, and start to plan their wedding.

Can you identify some of the situations, reactions, character profiles, personality traits that are present in your family or in families that you know? But of course, all, dolls are different! or are they?

All dolls and the creator/director/producer etc etc, Brisbane’s Really Good Celebrant, Glenda J Ashleigh, hope that you enjoy Episode 1: Love Blooms
