The Wedding of The Year - Part 3 Wedding Celebrations (8th March 2008)






Hello Again,
So whilst I was enjoying myself with Nanna & Pops back in York, Mummy & Daddy were busying enjoying the celebrations at Prestonfield. The afternoon kicked off with a champagne reception in the Tapestry Room to celebrate the marriage. The champers was freely flowing which Daddy enjoyed, Mummy & Daddy also enjoyed some delicious gourmet canapes which included a rabbit broth and goats cheese tarts. All the guests had a good mingle and got to know one another whilst Uncle Gary & Auntie Lisa had their official photo's taken.

And before they knew it, Mummy tells me it was time for the formal sit down meal, in the restaurant Rhubard which Prestonfield is famous for. Mummy & Daddy were seated on the best & loudest table of the night so Mummy tells me. They had so much fun, Mummy says there were lots of laughing, and taking the mickey out of Uncle Gary, it was very funny. The food was delicious, absolutely divine. We had an Amuse bouche of pea and mint soup with basil creme fraiche, followed by a Lemon Sole crab cake, peppered breadcrumbs on a bed of creamed leeks, followed by the main course of Balentine of Guinea Fowl and Agen prune wrapped in pancetta, wild mushroon and leek volute thyme potato cake, shallot marmalade and for dessert it was a Rhubarb tasting plate.

After the meal it was time for the speeches and Lisa's Dad started off the speeches, followed by Uncle Gary, then it was Daddy's turn and he did a very funny, fabulous speech all which we've got on camera and then it was big Dave's turn and his speech was funny too Mummy tells me.

Then it was time for the toasts and the cutting of the cake, before they all retired back to the Tapestry Room for coffee and Petit Fours, then it was back downstairs to party the night away and boy did they have fun, as you can see Daddy was totally overwhelmed and had to have 5 mins to recapture his party spirit which he did with style.

All in all, Mummy says it was a wonderful day, with wonderful food, wonderful company at a wonderful venue.

What more can I say - except I was having a great time with Nanna too.
