Lynette and Arjuna’s wedding was held mid-morning on Saturday, June 22, 2009 while a soft breeze drifted in off Deer Lake up to the wedding table. They said their vows upon the sloping green lawn of the Hart House restaurant in front of family and friends who traveled to Vancouver from as far away as Florida and Scotland to witness the marriage. Upon being pronounced husband and wife, bubble machines spilled forth a stream of dancing iridescent orbs that completely filled the air in celebration.
Lynette and Arjuna planned their unique wedding and handled all the details. They wanted their day to reflect their special bond: love for each other, scotch, swing dance, laughter and their ability to relax and enjoy life and each other. A feeling of true friendship, happiness and love permeated the heartfelt ceremony.
Lynette being a food scientist and Arjuna a former chef (now a carpenter) royally treated family and guests to a delectable luncheon, which reflected their culinary sophistication. Party favors of imported Scotch specially blended and labeled for the bride and groom at a distillery in Scotland were distributed to all at the end of the reception.
After enjoying the sumptuous feast, dancing and socializing, Lynette and Arjuna departed early into the afternoon sunshine for their honeymoon in Kelowna. I took one last look of the bowl of pears arranged with flowers sitting by the front door and left knowing these two, indeed, were a perfect pair.
