Wedding on a California Ranch!!!
We recently attended my nieces wedding in California…!
The pastor of their Christian Non-denominational Church married them in a most dignified and reverent manner. The bride and groom took Communion together at the end of the seremony… It truly was a most beautiful and holy seremony that ended with the guests joining in the songs that the bride and goom selected.
The guests were served a “buffet” dinner right in front of you at the table…a most original and wonderful idea…besides not needing flowrs to decorate the tables…you just picked and tasted all the beatiful meats, nuts, fruit. pies… and other food that is usually offered on large platers…this buffet was offered on long strips of brown packing paper!!!! There were red and white wines of different local wineries with lovely stem-glases…that one could part-take if one wished…I loved this idea…and wish I had thought of that when I got married 48 years ago
Sociolizing…..with Dinner and dancing was held under a “see-through” Tent!!
The tent’s top was a gauze-like material….we were able to see the white clouds that were paasing by on a brilliant blue sky…While deer were frolicking in the tall grasses and the birds were playing and singing over our heads….as if they too were invited to this joyous occasion…
This was the “dinner Buffet “…….
…….it was served on brown packing paper…wher we ate all we wanted served righ in front of each guest.
I loved that she thought of c ontinuing a long time Cratian tradition using a small Rosemary twig as a decoration on everyone’s table …Her father, my brother was born in Croatia as I was…
In our birth country Rosemary plays a big part especially at weddings…It brings happiness and love to the bride and groom…On that day all guests have a Rosemary buttonier or corsage attached on their festive outfits one wears at such an occasion….
More of the Buffet!
Thre Bride and Goom’s Cake..
It was a white cake with a Caramel Cream filling….and decorated with “spun caramelized sugar”…it was one of the most delicious cakes I have ever tasted…
