The Great toast
As I said, French delicacies are unbeatable. First they gave us caviar and their best ham, then they served us cold prawn cake plus artichoke. Then they gave us lamb with sauce and stewed vegie. Then the second dish was fried blue cheese spring roll. In the end this killer-dessert: plate of choco chunk with pear and orange, accompanied by two scoops of ice cream and decorated with strawberry, mint and caramel art. Awesome!
this time, the French boys must sing
The bride and father in law started the dancing session
younger generation meets the older:-)
