The Wedding





The new bride and groom cutting the cake.

It was an afternoon wedding we attended of my husbands, brothers daughter Alysha who married her best friend Alon.
It was held at her Grandparents home overlooking Onetangi beach and they were married in a gazebo.
Alysha looked beautiful in her gorgeous gown as did the bridesmaids who wore black dresses.
The weather was mostly fine with just a few light showers.
We gathered on the grassy hillside to take photos, under a huge oak tree and then headed back to the marquee for the wedding breakfast and to hear the speeches from family and friends.
A live jazz band played along, which added a wonderful ambiance to the wedding.





Victoria and Marcel, were home for the weekend and it was so lovely to see them.
They remarked quite a few times of how the air was so fresh and clean and at night so quiet, after the bustle and hustle of big City life.





I do hope you have had a pleasant weekend and now wish you a happy new week.

Hugs
Carolyn

  4. Dear Carolyn, What a lovely wedding to attend!

    Does your country have more weddings during certain months of the year? The States has wedding all year long, but so many more during June and October...Spring and Autumn. Milder temperatures.

    I had a wonderful week-end and am anticipating having a great week!

    May you have a super week.
    God bless,
    d
