today we had a wedding at Goodwood House
such a special place for a wedding on anyday of the year - but even more romantic on St Valentine's day
the front hall was filled with the most wonderful perfume from the hyacinths
which wafted through to the ceremony room
where we used even more hyacinths
even Venus got to carry a posy of white amaryllis
bowls of tulips, roses and lilac
lilies and even the humble carnation adorned the tables in
the ballroom
and each place setting had a snowdrop
this follows on from the Danish custom to send a
bunch of snowdrops on Valentine's day to your lover
the traditional Danish wedding cake a Kransekage -
it's supposed to have a bottle of wine inside -
sounds like fun to me
