With a smile as big as the sun in the sky...

... lovely Jules got married to handsome Karsten here at Lunga. With a fabulous vintagey in a little castle by the sea style, there was chintz and china and hearts and tunnock tea cakes and scones with jam and cream and big bowls of strawberries. The madeira sponge cake made by a friend and dusted simply with icing sugar was enjoyed by all.  Guests gave up their kilt socks in favour of flip flops, so hot was the day. Friends sat on rugs on the lawn beside the arbor drinking tea and mojitos and listening to a fabulous play list of music that had everyone chitter chatting all day long.

In honour of the new German side of the family, Jules' dad started off his speech with a Cabaret routine complete with top hat and cane. We peaked inside the door to watch and laughed as much as the guests even though we were all behind the scenes. We clambered down the rickety steps balancing china platters of scones and jam. We kept the beers cool in a wheelbarrow under a shaded tree.

And throughout it all I don't believe that there was a single moment when Jules wasn't smiling with a smile that didn't just melt the heart of her lovely lovely gentlemanly new husband. She touched all of our hearts as well.

Congratulations Jules and Karsten. We will remember your day for a very long time to come.xx

Lunga at its winter best and a very beautiful bride!

I don't know if you remember but last year we ran a Valentine's weekend competition. The winners were Julie and Douglas and last weekend they got married. Here at Lunga. 

Photographer Bill Baillie took some stunning pictures on a day that saw clear blue skies and snow flurries in equal measure. Julie looked absolutely beautiful, reducing both dad, brother and husband to be to tears when they set eyes on her for the first time on the day.

Log fires blazed, candles flickered in every room. Ivy and pine cones adorned the fire places. This was a very very beautiful wedding. I'll add the link to Bill Baillies beautiful photography when he's updated his own blog, but in the meantime, enjoy a taster of the day here.
