If I were getting married this fall (I'm not!), I think it would be very cool to have chosen today..October 10, 2010 for my Big Day. How cool is that, and how easy will it be to remember your anniversary, say, 23 years from now..10*10*10 is a brilliant date for a wedding!
Last night at a rehearsal dinner for 175 at a winery in Sonoma County, the happiness in the air was palpable, and why not? such a joyful occasion in such a warm and elegant setting...pure magic. And the weather? A perfect autumn day.

ReplyDeleteGreat photos and j'adore the ones with the little petanque players. The whole scene could have been in Provence it is so lovely.
ReplyDeleteOh, and how clever is that fence! I had to look twice and blink thinking that they were bottles!
Looks like the perfect setting for a great celebration. Bubbling fountain, autumnal colors, delicious food and wine. Lovely.
