Our master of ceremonies, Tom Lommel, takes the collar

I'm almost too afraid to ask, but I'll go ahead and ask anyway.

Just what are they up to here?

I'm especially intrigued by the combination of formal clerical garb with a "Do It Yourself" manual.

Tom and his brother Paul performed at their parents 40th wedding anniversary.  You can see more pictures on Tom's blog at WWW.TOMLOMMEL.COM

Here is what one attendee had to say about the performance:

BTW - Most of you missed an outrageous show at the Lommel's 40th wedding anniversary. I hope there is video of Tom as the catholic priest and Paul (he'll always be PJ to me) sporting a goatee in drag as a whip and ruler wielding no nonsense nun. Very well done - just enough edge to make the 90% over 60 stolidly catholic crowd cringe and laugh out loud at the same time. It takes a lot of courage to essentially roast your parents with 15 minutes of sexual innuendo laden commentary in front of that crowd. Well played my friend. Well played. And PJ, I didn't think it was possible to make me more repulsed by the sight of a nun that I had been given my parochial school upbrining, but you did a fine job as well.

Cheers to the both of you. And cheers to Joe and Vonne for celebrating the renewal of their vows by having the right reverend Tom Lommel bless their union.

To quote Tom during the vow renewal as he referenced Vonne bearing two sons over the period of 16 months: "Ya know, if you're gonna get on that horse,Joe, you might as well ride. That's what I always say."

Oh dear, that was for a roast of their parents?

That must be one fantastic family, to have that sort of interaction be possible!
