Crashing a wedding party… with invitation

When Aurelie and Romain got married, she had offered her sister a table at the dinner to invite her friends (I guess so it would be more entertaining). That’s a first for me but after all different country different habits. When Aurelie’s sister decided to get married she returned the favor. That’s how we ended up to be officially invited to crash a wedding party.
Yesterday we dressed up and drove to the location. It was a posh looking wedding with lot’s of ladies in hat in the lovely Domaine des Bouleaux. Drinks and petit-fours were very good. Foie gras and lobster for dinner were also very good (except for the mushroom sauce with the latter). The highlight was clearly the dessert prepared by a team of chefs from Pierre Marcolini where the bride works. Inspirations around chocolate it was called… and it was excellent.
Challenge was that we didn’t know anyone apart from Aurelie and Romain so drink time was a bit awkward as we couldn’t really mingle. We then took the opportunity to send birthday wishes to Joy via WhatsApp with a memorable audio of us singing happy birthday to her. Dinner was easier as we were at their friends’ table so we could chat more. Party afterwards so nice with one of the best DJ we’ve experienced at a wedding.
Around 1:30am we left as sadly by back gave up on dancing before my feet.
