Day 27, August 23, Wedding #3

And the final wedding of the season, and perhaps the final post on this blog before we leave for Ivory Coast, is the wedding of Celine's sister Isabelle and the groom Alban.  It was smaller than the previous wedding but, as always, the food was very well planned and impressive!


The Ceremony started at 5:30...


After the ceremony and the greetings, we arrived at the Hall around 7:00


Kids Table!






The Vin d'Honneur started almost immediately 






Time for the photographer (me!) to take some group pictures to earn my food!  



Then back for the Vin d'Honneur! 



The theme of the wedding was dragons, which you might have guessed from the table decorations.  Wait until you see the wedding cake (aka the Pièce montée!).

Then it's time for the main course around 10:00 pm







Cheese arrived not long after the main course, around 11:30





Dessert was served by 12:30!  

Look at that Pièce montée!  Beautiful!  All made with pastries and caramel.  ALMOST too beautiful to eat!

Well I did say ALMOST too beautiful to eat!  Unfortunately it was also delicious!









And now we're off for our next adventure in Abidjan!  Look for the new blog about our life there!  Thanks for visiting, and don't forget to be bold, in food, drink, and life!
