Wedding photos, 7 (last)

The restaurant we chose for the reception was by the wholehearted recommendation of our friend whose son and daughter had both married there last year.  Great food in abundance for 200 guests, great service, reasonable prices, great programme organised by our friends, all had a wonderful time.

Candles and Svan watchtower at our table

My parents, who had come from across the world with my sister Gill

A pair of dolls representing Lali and me, pinned to the backs of our chairs, nicely mimicking our feelings of delighted exhaustion by the time it was all over

Cutting the cake (decorated specially for us by Hannah Gintz:  yum!) just before our departure

The End for now, as the happy couple are Whereabouts Unknown on honeymoon... But more general photos from me to follow, of course!

Little Mate (Georgian for Matthew, the "e" is pronounced)

Pyoung singing up a storm in traditional Korean dress

Mari, l, of the Sukhishvili Georgian National Dance Company and partner Beka dancing up a storm (I never tire of Georgian dance, spectacular stuff though hard to photograph; my favourite technique is to blur it to show the motion)

We had chosen the outdoor Ethnographoc Museum near Turtle Lake for the more formal photos - lots of beautiful old wooden houses to choose from, carved balconies, &c.  Arriving, we discovered that the 23rd was a free entry day for the public!  Nice little gift.  We stuck with the balcony of the very first house, quick and easy.
