THE THREE DAY WEDDING


The wedding took place in York, Maine. It rained the whole weekend, it not only rained, it poured and there even was an alert that a hurricane was coming. Whatever was going on outside, it did not dampen the spirits of the guests and the bridal party.

I shared a room with a family member who is 95 years old. She and I had to be the oldest guests at the wedding but there were no flies on us, we met the challenge and keep up with all those young people but there was one afternoon when we bowed out and had a nap. Oh, was that good, after all the running around we did.



The reception was held at the York Reading Room in York Harbor. Wherever you sat you could see the ocean.



Even though the sun was not shining the turbulent sea was a sight to behold.

Years ago when I went to an affair there was a band that played music that I could dance to.



Today it's a DJ that delivers the music and rarely plays a fox-trot. They did play one and I had the pleasure of dancing with Steve. Next number was a jitterbug which was my favorite. (Glenn Miller's In The Mood.) Carol and I had fun with that dance and then the band played (I can't tell you what that was or what we were doing but it was great!!)



The bride's mother thought of so many details, she even had a bucket of flip-flops for all the tired feet!

Time for the wedding cake: it was the most beautiful cake I have ever seen.



It was decorated with red roses and sea shells - they looked so real - turns out they were edible - delicious!!

The three day wedding was a great opportunity to spend quality time with people that I might just get together with for an afternoon or evening.

It was a good time all around - wonderful occasion, wonderful food and great people to be with!

NOTE: Just in case you missed it, last week I was one of the guest bloggers on Time Goes By while Ronni was away. Subject was "Young Old - Old-Old". Take a look.
