A Dickensian Twelfth Night Supper Party!

The Hosts:  Attire influenced more by Downton Abbey than Dickens — but who cares?

The Formal Dining Room:  Table Settings for 13!

Our dear friends & neighbors, from over the garden wall:

They are sporting genuine Vintage accessories!

The Newlyweds:  the lovely bride and . . . .

. . . the  handsome groom!

Our fellow Anglophiles and BBC/Masterpiece Theatre enthusiasts!

[Love the bow-tie!]

Our Cher-ished Friend:  Her lovely smile and enthusiastic spirit lights up any room!

Question:  “Among all our guests, who have been married the longest?”  

Answer:  “This happy couple — for 57 years!”

Our new friends and fellow university types!

This couple brought a camera to the supper, so they deserve extra photos, right?

Costume Award Winner:  She is dressed in Dickensian attire, from head to toe!

And guess who bought her the dress?  That’s right:  her husband, Mr. Romance!

Love the pipe and the red “muffler!”
