10 October 2010

{10*10*10}


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.

a convivial autumnal gathering


wine glasses waiting to be filled!

hundred pizzas!


the line up!


beautiful gurgling fountain as a background
to Frank Sinatra music playing


figs just ripe for picking


the children playing boules for hours!


the littlest petanque player likes to throw the ball!


les boules artfully arranged themselves!


apples the color of autumn


the winery fence with tops shaped like wine bottles!

  2. Great photos and j'adore the ones with the little petanque players. The whole scene could have been in Provence it is so lovely.

    Oh, and how clever is that fence! I had to look twice and blink thinking that they were bottles!

  12. Now, that's a wedding! I couldn't imagine a more perfect setting and date to host a reception. It's nice to see weddings going away from big hotels and huge ballrooms....much more intimate and unforgettable!
