Hey ladies, you know when you dream of your big day…the dream wedding- and you conjure up these beautiful bright images of people laughing and dancing in the sun, with children swinging on swings, a picturesque landscape! Romance and dancing….all that good stuff!? Well, Julia and Eric had all that and more at their wedding on August 1st. They couldn’t have picked a more inspiring landscape: Brome Quebec, the family’s farm for generations- a place where they all congregate as a family and have witnessed more than a few weddings on its very fields.
I only wish I could convey to you just how warm and wonderful the day went…It all started with the girls getting ready in the old farmhouse. As the aunts were in the kitchen putting the finishing touches on strawberry pies, the bridesmaids were applying their makeup to music as they sweat gloriously in their half-tops and shorts…It was so humid that it was reminiscent of the American South, (I swear all we were missing were a few mint juleps and a Southern twang). When it was time for the ceremony, the crowd gathered far into the fields and were waiting for the girls to emerge from the farmhouse…Well, emerge did they ever! In their “butterfly” bridesmaid dresses, the ladies sauntered effortlessly through the path to the ceremony site and well, everything else is history!
