Sean is working on the photos. I promise. Let me tell you a little about the event of the century.
The night before the wedding my aunt Hulda hosted a dinner for the two families and some of our out-of-town guests. Grilled steaks, fresh salads (tomatoes from the garden --yum!), Hulda's cheesecake, and Dad's homemade wine.
Sunday morning we awoke to a rainy cloudy day. Although we had a back-up plan for rain, there was a huge sigh of relief when the sun came out.
Sean's stepmother Susan hosted a brunch for the girls Sunday morning at Vandusen Garden. Starting the day with Champagne Kisses (champagne and cranberry juice) was a really good idea.
The ceremony started at 5:30pm in the garden. Flute music played in the background, the fountains splashed in the nearby ponds, the planes circled overhead (oh well).
The open-mike at the reception proved to be 'interesting'. Who knew the Sperling siblings would remember so much of the bride's childhood?
We honeymooned on Vancouver Island out at Sooke Harbour, in our own little cabin in the woods at a place called Point-no-point. We loved it. Quiet, secluded, and amazing scenery. After months of not being able to see each other and after the hectic activity of the wedding, it was nice to just sit and enjoy each other's company.
