We're going to a wedding this Saturday. No, not ours - not yet. Ours is a year and a week away, but this one is going to be very special. I think it's quite unusual for a guest to be as close to both the bride and the groom as I am.
The bride is the youngest daughter of a couple I've known for about 30 years. I actually know the entire clan! The groom is the youngest son of my late husband's best friend who was also best man at our
own wedding over 36 years ago. My daughter and I have been to two showers for the bride and we had wonderful times at both, seeing old friends we haven't seen for some time and meeting new ones.
own wedding over 36 years ago. My daughter and I have been to two showers for the bride and we had wonderful times at both, seeing old friends we haven't seen for some time and meeting new ones. The wedding is to be held at Hycroft, an absolutely gorgeous mansion in the Shaughnessy area of Vancouver. It's going to be quite formal, with the ceremony outside, weather permitting, and the reception and dance inside. 
I've been to Hycroft before, at the University Women's Club's annual Christmas Fair, and I can vouch for its opulance. At the right you'll see the gated entrance and then you can see the portico at the front door. The entire place will be a fantastic location for a special wedding complete with photo shoots deserving a place in "In Style" magazine!

Lorne and I are honoured to be sitting with the groom's parents and relatives and next to the bride's parents' table. That just shows how close we are to both the families. I can hardly wait to dress up for the event and watch these two wonderful young people (ages 25 & 27) get married! They've both lived at home all their lives so this is going to be a very special time in their lives.
Keep an eye out for photos of the wedding here next week.

Oh, I can't wait to see pictures!
What a grand place and wonderful that you both know the family so intimately.
This will be like a run up to your own wedding. A practice!
Your picture of wedding cake icing sugar roses made me smile - I once made 228 for a three tier cake I made! Every surface in my kitchen and hall was covered with trays of them, waiting to dry...
Oh my! Looks as though it will be very glam! Looking forward to seeing the photos especially of your outfit!
It's about time those two got married! They've been dating for as long as I've known JA! I hope you enjoy it. I'd love to see some pictures too! Please get some of the adorable ring bearer and flower girl - Aksel and Siena!
