Saturday, 20 February

The day

A rough shape of things, so you know when to arrive and when to stop checking your watch.

  1. 14:30 for 15:00

    Guests arrive

    Park in the farm lot and follow the signs. There'll be something cold waiting for you. Please be seated by 15:20.

  2. 15:30

    Ceremony

    Outside, under the umbrellas — shaded, and out of the afternoon sun.

  3. Canapés & photographs

    Drinks and snacks out on the lawn while we slip away for photos. Wander the gardens.

  4. Speeches & first dance

    Short speeches, we promise. Then the first dance.

Where

The Rose Barn

A restored barn on a working rose and lavender farm, ten minutes from the sea. Whitewashed stone, open beams, chandeliers strung above long tables, and rolling green hills in every direction. The ceremony is outside under the umbrellas; dinner and dancing move inside.

The engagement

Sitting in the open door of the helicopter
Christy and Joshua laughing together
A quiet moment, his hand at her cheek
Standing together on a rise, mountains stretching away
The ring hidden in the mountain flowers
The two of them together beside the helicopter
