The Wedding Party: Part 2
The evening’s enchantment continued as the night sky went dark. Pools of light glowed beneath the tents and on the porch and terrace, candles flickered on the tables, and paper birds danced in mid-air.

Like most married couples on their wedding day, we didn’t get to make much out of the dinner that was served (I didn’t even get to try any of the appetizers), and we only had time to lift a fast forkful or two off of our dinner plates. From what I understand, the food was great, including the cupcakes from Sweet Temptations (which I did get to try, even if it was the next day).
We hadn’t even thought to reserve one of the tables for ourselves, so with most seats occupied, Andy and I made do on the wicker couch on the terrace, overlooking all our friends and family in the main tent. That was our intimate moment of the evening, the two of us stealing a few quick bites of our wedding dinner, watching the laughter of the beloved people in our life.

It looks like you both had a fantastic wedding celebration, it all looked lovely, especially all those paper cranes. How long did it take you to make them all?
Best wishes Nick

Thanks Nick – it took about a year to make all of them (the ones you can see are just a fraction – I made over a thousand) but I worked on them regularly, so just a few each day.

Thank you – most of them are by my friend Jen, who is a whiz with the camera.
