Subject: Description of the Wedding

Hi Tina & Ellie,

My son, his bride-to-be, and her maid of honor arrived here in town 5 days before the wedding to get everything in order. The girls stayed one night here and then stayed at a hotel nearby. They had to make sure everything was in order, decorating, last minute details,etc for the reception. My daughter and I helped out in any way we could. It was fun to be included in all the activities.

My son from Florida and his wife and my 2 granddaughter, Ariana & Athena arrived on Friday (they stayed at a hotel nearby) and we gathered at my daughter's house so Kaitlyn could meet her cousins for the first time. Kaitlyn enjoyed playing with them. We and the bride-to-be's parents arrived on Friday and we all went out for dinner at a restaurant called "The Common Man". It was so wonderful to share these special moments for us all.

The wedding was held on October 13th, a beautiful Saturday morning at the Audubon Society grounds. The justice of the peace, who was the sister of my son's best friend, performed the ceremony outside in the garden area. It was a beautiful day with the sun shining. The wedding began at 12:30. The bride's father escorted her down the pathway. My son and his bride-to-be had choosen their wedding vows they would exchange. Everything went well and it was a perfect day to celebrate with our families and friends.

The reception followed at the Audubon Society's large hall which was recently done over. There was lots of light shining through the windows and each table had white candles and fresh flower arrangements.

Guests sat with 8 or so at each table. The food was catered by a professional group who did an excellent job. The main menu was roast beef, oven roasted potatoes, rice pilaf, 3 kind of salads including Greek salad, rolls, mixed vegetables. In addition to the 3 layer cake with 3 different fillings (delicious) a tray of homemade Baklava was served. Favors were white & colored almonds with little silver wedding rings attached with a bow in white and lavender netting

Soft music was played throughout the afternoon, then later more lively music was provided. A professional photograper took many pictures. My dear friend Nancy took a video and gave the couple a copy for a wedding present. She also gave me a copy too.

I was truly blessed that the wedding was held here in Concord. I am so happy that my daughter-in-law wanted to hold it here.

My son & daughter-in-law stayed with me Sunday evening before heading back to their new home in Colorado. I also had the pleasure of meeting my daughter-in-law's maid of honor, her best friend.

Thanks again and wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving. Ellie I believe you celebrate yours at a different date.

Sending my best wishes,
Phyllis
