Following the ceremony, we loaded back on the bus, by this time it was raining quite hard. Some of the men made lots of trips to the church and back to the bus with the few umbrellas we had.
Then we headed off to the Three Brothers Arms Hotel, until it was time for the reception. Tried to take some photos of the countryside from the bus, but not very successful.
This was about the best. and at least, shows the rain. :)
A couple of photos of the hotel. Couldn't get one of the inside, sorry.
A view of the vineyards. Called Longview winery.
The verandah, where we had pre-dinner drinks and hours devours. The bistro blinds made it dry and a bit warmer. Nice weather they would be rolled up.
This was our table.
This was the bridal table.
This was a novel way to find your seat. All the tables were named after apple or pear varieties.
The candles were all in these English Bone china sets, a lot of which were manufactured in the town that Anit was born and his parents still live. The mother of the bride made up the candles, after trawling through the antique stores and jumble sales.
The menu. Hope you can read it.
The two entrees.
Then the main course, and you could order the one you prefer. Most weddings and other function here work on a two choice, but alternating, and if you don't like what you get, you have to try and swap with someone.
I chose the beef.
Or the chicken.
Dessert was a serving of the wedding cake, which was sticky date pudding, with butterscotch sauce.
Also they came around with toffee apples, which were yummy too.
And lastly for today, the thank you gift, which, appropriately were in test tubes, as they are both doctors.
One containing a serving of the Turkish apple & cinnamon tea, and the other chocolate coated coffee beans.
Took other photos of the dancing, but feel this is enough to absorb in one hit. Will do more tomorrow, on how I filled in Saturday, and then the Indian ceremony on the Sunday.
Thanks for taking the time to read all this.
:D

Rain on a Wedding day is good luck to the newlyweds. At least here everyone is always hoping for at least a little drop. =)
And I know how hard it is to try to take a photo when it rains. Been there. =)
Winery views are often really beautiful. Not seen in Finland much. Only having a couple of them here, and those not close to us.
Table setting on the reception looks SO beautiful. Apple nametags are great and the candles in China sets looks so lovely. Wow! Really things thought over.
And how delicious all the food also looks. The cake as well.
Now I'm hungry.
