fairy-tale wedding

it was, from one end to the other, the most amazing wedding i'd ever been to. C. was absolutely gorgeous in her dress. radiant. N. had tears in his eyes when he saw her in it. the ceremony was simple and consisted in them telling each other how they felt, which was very moving. others spoke too (including my sister, who read a poem) and i used several tissues all the way through. all this was in the courtyard of an old monastery at the foot of the Saleve, with a beautiful view of the Jura.

we had drinks in the 'park', then we moved down to the cellars, the walls of which were entirely made of stone. the dinner was really delicious (with a special mention for the amazing starter!). my sister and her friends had organised more games, which took place throughout. it was all very funny. i was sat next to my friend Tinkie, so we certainly had fun at our table! we definitely made more noise than everyone else... finally, after a 4-hour dinner, was dancing.

everything was gorgeous, everyone had fun. when i eventually drove the newlyweds to their hotel (their taxi had failed to show up), they were so sorry it was over, and said they'd do it all over again if they could. it truly was a day to remember... oh, and we got to take as many flowers as we wanted when we left, so my flat is now full of them.
