| The stunning Bride! |

| Chef Suzanna at work |
June has been a month of both rain and shine in Samoëns, and we were relieved that the weather put on a good show last weekend for 60 wedding guests who partied for 3 days at Ferme du Ciel. With a huge marquée on the front lawn, the wedding party lodged with us and showed real endurance for partying!
The bride and groom chose to enjoy a casual hog roast dinner the evening before their wedding day, and Andy was only too pleased to show off his carving skills. With a stunning array of salads, breads and cheeses, the roast pork went down a treat and we finished the whole hog without any trouble.

The wedding celebrations began with a mountaintop civil ceremony on the Joux Plane, followed by champagne and canapes as the sun set. Everyone then descended upon Ferme du Ciel, where they enjoyed a 4 course meal and speeches. The charming French-Australian couple met in Peru, so at midnight a salsa teacher arrived to get the party started with salsa lessons!

| Bread oven delights |
On the morning after the wedding, we prepared a full day, rolling brunch with a huge buffet selection of hot and cold breakfast délices. Andy fired up our ancient wood burning bread oven to cook a gourmet selection of quiches, tartes and delicious pissaladières (French pizzas), which went down a treat. On the drinks table, the French learned the joys of 'hair of the dog', indulging in morning-after mimosas (champagne cocktails) with a sense of naughty delight!
All the planning and preparation meant that the event was a roaring success and we wish the bride and groom much, much happiness for their future together. Time for us now to get back to organising details of the next Ferme du Ciel wedding!
