T Stands for a June Wedding

On the last weekend of June, our niece (daughter of Himself's youngest brother) got married. 

The wedding ceremony was held at the couple's home in their back yard. The groom made the wedding arbor.  This photo taken by my sister-in-law, from behind. You can just make out the spray of roses on the left and upper part of the arch on the right front. The roses were ivory.  The ceremony was held in the morning so all the chairs were in the shade. On either side of the center aisle were mason jars with sprays of baby's breath. Those were brought to the reception for table decorations. Simple and so pretty.

A reception following the wedding was held at the UxLocale Restaurant owned and operated by friend and former WAM colleague Elaine Pusateri Cowan. The reception was held on the patio.

Guests were treated to a mouth-watering array of charcuterie

I was too busy eating the delicious food that I forgot to take a picture. Inside the restaurant and served buffet style, Elaine had prepared an amazing array of dishes including a huge selection of gluten free choices.

There was rigatoni in marinara sauce, rigatoni and sausage in a white sauce, grilled skirt steak with peppercorn sauce or horse-radish, several different wood fired pizzas and a huge selection of salads.

Desserts for the guests included macaroons, a pretzel caramel brownie, and chocolate chip studded cannoli. I had a cup of  English breakfast tea with my dessert. Elaine even sent me home with a small box of cannoli.
