Default Rechristening an aircraft?

I own an airplane that has been unairworthy for almost 3 years now (engine
was making metal large enough to punch visble holes in the oil filter
paper). Only recently have I found the time and resources to put it back
together. Since I'm about a week away from getting everything signed off,
I've begun thinking about what I should do by way of ceremony now that it'll
be airworthy again. I thinking of something along the lines of when they
christen a boat, but I'm guessing that whacking a bottle of (do they use
wine or champagne?) against a semi-monocoque(sp?) airframe is not a smart
move. I'm not wanting to break a bottle on the prop, either for similar
reasons. I'm mainly wanting to do this as a way of thanking everyone who has
put effort into putting this aircraft back together and those who have seen
this aircraft languishing on the ramp, waiting for me to do something about
it. Am I just crazy? Is this over the top for a lowly C152? I know many on
this newsgroup fly much more capable planes, what would you do?

I'm planning on putting together a web page to walk through the process of
the restoration. It's not anywhere near complete, but the work up to this
point was to get it airworthy. Next I get to work on the interior. I'm not
anywhere near as talanted as say, Jay Honeck, but we'll see.
