The reception later in the evening was spectacular. Appetizers were set up in two huge adjacent rooms with seating there and in the courtyard. There was more food than one could imagine: jumbo shrimp, stone crab claws, duck, a carving station with stuffed pork and beef tenderloin, as well as a wide variety of salads, cheeses, breads, cold cuts, hors d'ouvers, and condiments, ice sculptures, and an open bar that continued throughout the night. After the appetizer/cocktail hour, everyone entered the ballroom for the formal sit down dinner, speeches by Jill, the Maid of Honor, Victor, the Best Man, and Michael, the Father of the Bride who entertained everyone with a poem he had written about Rachel, and dancing which lasted until midnight. It was truly an incredible wedding.
The next morning, we were invited to a breakfast at The Hunter's Room at the Grainery located behind the Inn. Later in the afternoon, Bob and I brought over some of the flowers from the wedding to Adele's house, where we had a chance to visit a bit longer with the Merson/Lambright family before saying so-long for this trip.
