We had a wedding this weekend. It was held on the banks of the Ohio River, in an 1803 mansion. Weddings are sentimental and lovely affairs~~~~~~~"What will the wedding supper be?" Miss Mousie had two butterbeans and blackeyed peas.Or was it catnip tea? This was an entirely over-the-top wedding dinner, lamb chops, filet of beef, shrimp, chicken stuffed with goat cheese and ham, vegetables of every hue, fruits, cheeses, plus ~~~~an elegant white cake with a raspberry filling and no, not one drop of crisco frosting! We stopped on the way, dressed in our finery, and purchased some peaches from Bray's Orchards. The little wooden fruit stand was beside the highway, just before the long dip down to the river. The sun was high and hot as we pulled into the wedding site. I swear, a breeze fluttered just as the bride appeared. Bagpipes, a string quartet, a lovely, lovely operatic singer and white doves released over the river, made for a glorious and rich day. A true Pig and Peaches day.
My photos are the beginning and end of my day....the old fashion yellow rose in early morning light and my first moon flowers to end the day. The only thing that rivaled my moon flower was the orchid tree in the center of the food table. It was a tower of pinks, oranges and yellow. A stunning arrangement. My moon flowers win above all other flowers.....
AE will post his travels to Sea Island soon.
