Back in her room, Anne sorted through her clothing, and she started to pack her suitcase, but then she realized that time was getting away from her, so she stopped and went over to survey the situation in her garden, a few of her friends from the garden club were putting finishing touches on the arrangements, and spotted her up at her window giving her a thumbs up sign, she pretended she was applauding them with her hands as a gesture of thank you, well done.
From her vantage point it was quite a beautiful sight, men were setting up the chairs on either side of where the isle runner would be rolled out, seventy five chairs on each side, although it did not matter in this case, which side the guest were seated on as Candee had only a few guest from her past, her new family and friends, would fill in and be equally seated by their young ushers.
The trellis through which Candee would enter the garden was beautifully covered with roses and vines, with a huge urn on either side, with an arborvitae in each surrounded by tiny flowers, and each plant had tiny white lights, which were going to look beautiful along with all the others at dusk, for there were lights in the larger trees and all over the gazebo. The gazebo itself had huge hanging pots of flowers at each of the arched openings around the sides of it, and of course each side of the two steps up into the gazebo were also flanked by huge urns on pedestals.
On the one side were large trees and shrubs, with a walk-thru opening, and Anne could only see the top of the large white canopy type tent in which the caterer would be setting up, and tables for dining would be there also. The ceiling for the tent was to be covered in tiny lights also, with a flower arrangement and a large candle on each table. A portable wooden floor was put down and would later be used for dancing, as smaller tables would be set to the sides.
She was glad that her property was big enough to accommodate such a huge affair as this, not only did she and Julie pull this wedding together in a month's time with help from many friends in the garden club but from her view point, it was going to be perfect, even the weather was co-operating, it was going to be a beautiful day, sunny, warm, not hot, blue skies with only puffy white clouds, she looked to the heavens and said a silent thank you. Then she turned and went in to her own bathroom for her bath, before dressing for the wedding.
