New Years Eve Wedding and a Ton of Fun!







We had an amazing New Years Eve. It was my birthday so we went to lunch and had fun at the Elephant Bar Restaurant. That evening we attended the Bizer-Talbot wedding. It was SO MUCH fun - way more fun than I had expected. It had class and humor - a difficult balance to strike.

The couple both work in theater. Denise is a tech theater person who is in charge of sets and costumes. Peter is a professional Stage Fighting instructor and theater carpenter. It showed at the wedding. They had a forest theme. All around the room they had stands that held tree branches and tea lights. I have included a photo here, but that does not even begin to show how magical they made it feel. On the tables they made little magical forest arrangements. All of the branches were hung with crystals - 2600 of them. At the end of the party they encouraged us to take them home as a memento of their wedding. The bride and groom said their vows on a moss covered platform. They walked on a cloth with a calligraphed sayings. After the ceremony we had amazing and diverse food. Then the dancing started. I danced for 3 hours. I honored them by wearing pantyhose for the first time in two years. After falling twice I removed them so I could dance without worrying about falling. Near midnight they broke out the party hats. We danced until 1:30 and went home happy, as well as exhausted. Their wedding was in inspiring event.
