Lea & Frey's Wedding

We just returned from Richmond where Lea Gessaman was married in a beautiful garden wedding.  I've known Lea since the day she was born.  Time does fly.  Her mother is Verna, one of my long-time dearest friends.  We met when we were young single school teachers at Woodbridge High School. 

The wedding was such a happy event.  Wishing Lea and Fry a lifetime of happiness!  Lea was such a beautiful bride--she had the biggest smile all day long.

Lea wore her mother's wedding dress.  I was at Verna's wedding 36 years ago.  Lea had the dress modified - sleeves removed, lengthened, lace moved around.  It looked fabulous! 

We loved the whole weekend of wedding festivities and staying at the Jefferson Hotel where Courtney had her wedding.

Beautiful fragrant peonies!

I do think that peonies are my favorite flowers--their fragrance is simply intoxicating.  Rosa snipped some flowers for me last week, and I spread them around the house.  Delicious!  Yesterday Bob snipped some flowers from our bush--I didn't even realize that I had some flowers in my own backyard. 

I'm putting peonies on the table for Lea's Bridal Luncheon in Richmond this weekend.  Hope she loves them as much as I do!
