for the first dance, after which court members and their escorts joined them, dancing to the music of Password before joining their parents for the Filet Mignon and Blackened Shrimp dinner that also featured Au Gratin Potatoes and Asparagus Spears. Afterwards, the crowd spent the rest of the evening dancing, renewing old friendships and making plans for next year’s celebration. LUNAR, LOVE & LEMONS sounds like fun, doesn’t it? Well, believe me, most everyone will tell you the 2022 Lunar Rendezvous Fashion Show was all of that and more. Co-Chairmen Macy Osoria and Rachel Gibbs simply outdid themselves, much to the delight of the crowd of 550 that filled up the Galveston Island Convention Center at the San Luis Resort ballroom

On arrival, all were having a grand time visiting with long-time Lunar Rendezvous friends, looking out at the Gulf of Mexico and checking out the Silent Auction. The audience got quite an eyeful as the 2021 and 2022 Royal Courts stepped into the spotlight with all the princesses and lieutenants and members of the Little Court parading down the runway, with their smiling mothers or presenters at their side. Fashion guru Lenny Matuszewski Jr. was back with his team of beautiful models showing off the latest fashions from Adelaide’s

Boutique, The Clotheshorse, Dillard’s, Dress Galaxy, Jill’s Fashions & Bridals, Moxie District 31, Tina’s on the Strand and Tootsies.

Afterwards, all enjoyed a luncheon that featured Chicken Franceses and Lemon Beurre Blanc and Parmesan Risotto, along with Broccolini and Baby Carrots and Cheesecake.

Each place setting had a beautifully designed cookie donated by Cakes by Jula that was decorated as a blue and white tile with a “lemon” on it (the lemon was a cake ball).

Among the crowd were all the chairmen of special events who have worked so hard to make the festival
