There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it…”

So we begin our "Mad Hatter's Tea Party"!

This is the Billings Estate, the oldest wood framed structure in Ottawa. Please go to http://www.friendsofbillingsestatemuseum.org/ for more information. If you are in the area it really is a lovely spot and secluded in the city. We had a tent on the lawn under a tree!

This is the Toronto gang with Andrew. From the left is Laura, Andrew (of course), Susy and Nina

This is the same gang and I

This is everyone getting organized

The CAKE! I think that it goes without saying that this was a show stopper. Even if people didn't like anything else that we did, they LOVED the cake. Sandra from Chamelon Cakes really outdid herself. For more information on how YOU can get a cake as lovely as this go to http://www.chameleoncakes.com/. And not only did it look amazing it was SOOOOO delicious! I can recomend ALL the flavours as we tasted them all but I have to say that the chocolate raspberry was my favourite!

Had to get another one in here, it was just too beautiful and yes it is supposed to lean

Andrew's speech where he said that all you have to do is ask God because God gave him everything that he ever wanted...me and he was teary and made me cry! Of course I cried all the way down the aisle and almost didn't make it through my speech!

Cutting the cake...as Nina said this signifies the first time my husband "guides me"...as you all know he can try! It was almost a shame to cut the cake it was soooo pretty!

The wedding party. From the left, Andy myself, Andrew, Kimberley and my daughters

Bachlorette Party # 2

So finally we make it to Spirits Bar and Grill for some kareokee (sp?) with Welly!!!! I have been a regular here for years, well that is until I moved to Ottawa. The staff there are great and we always have a great time! The friends I have met through that place are wonderful, special and a little off...just like me! Don't forget to be careful the door swings both ways like most of the patrons!
