Because......
Decorating is endless.
Cooking never ends.
Gardens are always changing.
And best of all shopping goes on and on!

Hence the name,
Open Ended!

Uncle George with his "Father of the Groom" speech!

Check out this grooms cake!
This towering french cream puff cake is called a 
Croquembouche!
 And it was soooo delicious! 

Next we headed for the wedding itself.
Which was at the.....

The gardens are beautiful! 
And because the groom is employed by the gardens 
we as guests where treated like royalty!

Here's the groom!
~Aaron~



 Here's the beautiful Bride!
~Meg~

Beautiful!
Look at how happy Aunt Kathy is!
She's on the right.








The Bride is also a competitive ballroom dancer.
So we all enjoyed a little Cha Cha from the bride and her dance partner.
At the end of the evening Meg changed into her kimono.
Meg's family brought this lovely wedding kimono from Japan for her.  







  Congratulations Meg and Aaron! 



And.....now I have to get something done around here!
So I'll be back soon.....
