The planning challenge: How to deal with the stage, the heavy curtains, and the grates?
Yvonne's suggestion: Don't look at the stage.
|
Turn the seats so folks are looking at the spectacular windows along the side wall,
she said. Yvonne is so smart.
|
The florist provided a brilliant array of seasonal flowers.
|
Well, several arrays.
|
After Yvonne's breakthrough suggestion, we were left with a couple of interesting but
manageable issues. One of these was the thermostat on the wall directly above the unity
candle. How do you like Aliceann's solution, using some beautiful fabric loaned by
Amanda's brother, Ben?

And Aliceann's setting for the unity candle?
