The Boy

  {His birthday was 8 days before. The watch was his present.}

{lucky sixpence wedding cuff links - especially nice
since we had just moved to London}

all the other boys had gold knots}

The sash reminded me of a dress my great
grandmother made for my mother to wear for the
Natchez Spring Pilgrimage when she was little girl}

{something old - my great grandmother's earrings}

{something borrowed from my mom - her mother's ring}

Thank you bags held Hershey's Huggs and Kisses.

The cake was from Edna's Cake Creations and it was delish!

Bottom layer was red velvet, middle layer was vanilla, 

and the top was strawberry.

The Boy's brownie groom's cake was also from Edna's.

We took salsa lessons in Singapore. Our first dance was a to Pink Martini's "Let's Never Stop Falling In Love", though in retrospect, we should have gone with 

Jack Johnson's Better Together, which is our song. 

While the grownups danced, the kids played in the water fountain.
