Let Them Eat Cake!

The Wedding Part Two - The Reception

Dear Readers, I apologize for taking SO LONG to get to the Reception.....

It takes a long time to get all the proper wedding Photos taken...

The Photographer took them all out to the Guard Room for more photos....

So the caterers could set up in the Great Hall....

The Bride is Just SO Beautiful.....!

He wants to get the Lighting Just Right!

And then there MUST be pictures with the Parents.....

Do you have ANY idea how difficult it is to get ONE picture with EVERYBODY looking Good?

Somehow he manages it!

Meanwhile in the Great Hall the party is starting to get under way.....

Everybody is taking their seats.... and waiting for the Bride and Groom to arrive!

At LAST! Here they are! Seated at the Head table.....

which is all decorated and ready!

Some of the guests are wondering What they will have to eat.....

(On this Lovely China which is a Gift from Great Aunt Agatha!)

Cousin Kitty is seated with the Aileens.

She hopes the children will Behave!

Her Cat, Sandy is getting a Little nervous at all the noise....
(Aren't the topiary Table decorations just darling?)

Now that everybody is seated Harold stands up to give a Toast to the Bride and Groom....
"To my Son Arthur and his Lovely Bride Pollyanna, I wish a Long and Happy Life Together!"

"Here Here!" Chorus the crowd......
The Bride and Groom smile at each other.....

Will, the Best Man stands to give his speech....

about how he has known Arthur since they were in school together....

and how much Pollyanna is the Perfect Bride for his friend.....

"I wish them a Long and Happy Life Together!"

And then the Musicians in the Gallery strike up a Lovely song......
This is our favorite band.....They are "The Amarettos..."

(When they play for Weddings, that is.....!)

Suddenly the sound system lets out a horrible screech.......
Which startles Sandy so badly.....
He jumps from Kitty's lap.......

Onto the tabletop.....
and in a mad dash to escape the noise.......

He LEAPS....
Onto Amber's head......

and from there to the Cake on the next table.......

Which teeters............. and then falls.....

Crashing to the floor!!!

Sandy has disappeared as fast as he could go!

And climbed to the top branches of the potted Tree in the Guard Room!

The Caterer is NOT too upset.....

Fortunately THAT cake was just a Decorative PROP!

It is Time to bring out the REAL CAKE!

(But you must Promise NOT to laugh at my cake....!
I am NOT a Cake baker...... but I did my Best!)

And Now it is time for the Bride and Groom to cut the cake.......

(But first we must admire the Wedding Cake topper....

the little people are some Worry Dolls my Mother sent me for my Birthday!!!!)

My oh, My.... where to Start...?

Arthur is Brave and makes a lunge at it.......

See.... that wasn't so hard!

It really IS CAKE!

And Plenty of it! Would you like some too?

The children clap and laugh with excitement!

Cousin Kitty is still trying to get Sandy to come out of the tree......

The Photographer suggests getting him some cake......

Sandy is NOT Enticed....!

Meanwhile the Caterer is carving up the cake and serving everybody......

Pollyanna and Arthur have their pieces....

Daniel thinks the new china looks MUCH better now that there is Cake on it...!

Juliet is wondering if it is okay to start eating yet.....

Jasper is not waiting!
"This cake tastes GREAT!" he cries.....

"Does Everybody who wants Cake have some...?" asks the Caterer.....

"Oh, I want some too..." I replied

And he kindly cut me a slice!

"Here..... You have some too!"
And Don't go away....... the Dancing is about to begin......
As soon as we make Room on the floor......

We're Not done yet.......

Let Them Eat Cake!
