It's A Wedding!
On Saturday afternoon family and friends gathered at our home thinking that they had been invited to an Engagement Party. Only a few knew that it was indeed an invitation to a share a wedding celebration for Alysia and Sam. Since May, secret 
preparations were being made for the garden wedding that both Alysia and Sam had desired. Gardens planted, marquees rented, caterers trialled, lounges rented, cushions and lanterns purchased, dresses ordered and a gown chosen for October 29th. We all awoke to brilliant sunshine on the morning of the wedding. Tables were dressed in white linen and sashed with delicate silver bows. The terraces and lawn hosted neat rows of white chairs for the guests. 
Pink paper lanterns were strung from tree branches and so too tear drop shaped glass crystals ready to sparkle when the sun set. 
Flowers adorned each coffee and side table; especially purchased for the day. Bright pink and black cushions featured on the white leather lounges. Lounges that had been arranged to create comfortable spaces for conversation. A shiny, black bar was installed in o
ne corner with a tea and coffee station alongside. A guest book table was established for processing pictures of guests who then created collages and wrote comments to mark and record their memories of the day. Tuscan pines potted in black, ceramic, pots dotted both the interior and the exterior of the marquee. The two man
band had been secured and an entire corner allocated to their array of instruments and technology. Are brides always late? Not this one. Alysia was ready and the guests assembled. The bridal party were also keen to wait not a single minute longer. Music played and the procession of bridesmaids, father, mother and bride wound our way through the garden to the shade of the peppercorn tree. Vows were read and moments shared. Alysia and Sam were now husband and wife. Then the party began in earnest. Caterers ensured that guests were content and bar staff
poured th
e bubbles, wine and beer. Thank you to all who made the day so special and D.A.M for her patience and flexibility.
