Spectacular Event!

First, I am exhausted and it will take a few days to recover from the spectacular event of the V&M wedding.  It is clear that they put so much thought and effort into every detail.  The colors of the earth-themed evening and event were green and brown.  The flower girls spread autumn leaves rather than flower petals.  The tables were incredibly decorated with a beautiful menu card.

The cake was unique and beautiful.  So were the bride and groom. There were 170 guests from assorted persuasions, religions, geographic and economic backgrounds.  Each table was named after a restaurant where V&M have eaten in their various travels over the seven years of their relationship.  I was very very pleased to be seated at a table named after a restaurant where my family had enjoyed some very good meals and good times together. We were happy to see old friends and meet new ones.   

It was one of rare but very special occasions when all our complicated family was gathered together.  How good it is!
