It was the "Third Time's a Charm" party for our neighbor, Lisa, and her groom, Vance, at the clubhouse. The pair, (at right) were married last month, and tonight threw a shingdig for their friends and family to celebrate the occasion.
The Tex Pistols kept everyone dancing, while the Stonebrooke chefs presented a massive steamship beef round and tons of
hors de ouvres.
Beneath a dramatic three-foot ice sculpture, engraved with their wedding monogram, a colorful Candy Bar beckoned guests to stuff paper bags with their favorite nuts and sweets. Kathleen (top photo) obliged.
In keeping with the fun and casual theme, three of Lisa's pals gowned up as bridesmaids (below) in tastefully coordinated black, white and pink outfits.
Everybody had a great time. . . except maybe for a few moments when a guest accidentally bumped a glass of wine onto the bride .
Oh well. Lisa quickly dried and reappeared in a new blouse, none the worse for the wear, and delivered a nice speech to the 250 partygoers.
We joined with other neighbors gathered for the joyful occasion and raised our glasses to wish Lisa and Vance a very happy life together.
