The big day came and went and is pretty much a blur for me. The Tuxedo and bridal gown looked great -- owing more to the fact that the bride and groom are quite handsome than to my sewing skills. It was a low-key event in our backyard and it was very much indicative of their style --
Not only that but it was truly a family affair. The food was provided by the bride's family and was a mixture of southern and Albanian specialties.
Sarah, Taylor and I made and decorated the cake. The cake topper is a
family piece that has been used for two generations now. Sarah and my cousin Cheryl provided professional-level photography services. Taylor played piano for the ceremony.
The bourbon and cigar station on the front porch featured a hound dog to add to the ambiance. The reception was by the pool.
Was it a lot of work? Yes. Was it worth it to have an event that so captured the spirit of our family? Definitely.
