Robin and Lucas wedding


A handfasting ceremony on a perfect September day in the field behind Robin's childhood home. We sat in a circle while Robin and Lucas had their wrists bound with silk cord.

We prepared a Harvest meal for the guests including roast pork and fresh corn and salads and perogies. Lots of tasty food and spectacular desserts by Robin's aunt Alexa. The tree-planters tent was decorated with cedar boughs and twinkle lights and garden flowers and there was a fireworks display in the hayfield and a pantomime which featured Spot (in the sunglasses) and lots of music and Krupnik (the dreaded Polish honey liqeur and also Slivovich brough from Czechoslovakia by the grooms father. A good time was had by all.
