A couple of months ago, she annouced: Alice is getting married! My heart sank, Alice...but she still is so young, how can our children even think of getting married? What does that make us? I still feel in my heart and mind (alas, not body) like that young, free spirited adventurous young girl who decided to study in the States... Once the shock set in, I called Michelle and said: "OK, Alice is getting married, I'll come over, bring wine and let's plan a wedding.
My role was to convince Alice to have flowers at the wedding...I couldn't visualize a wedding without colors. I went to the flowers market in New York and picked flowers according to Alice's favorite colors, purple, yellow and white:
The setting: Stowe, Vermont
Famous Trapp Family Lodge
Stowe is a beautiful quaint town
The wedding
Chairs and tables are set by the amazing bride's maids. A wonderful group of girls... who said that M.I.T girls can't have fun?
The flowers... 5 hours in the making...

Thank you Laura Mercier for your waterproof mascara...At this moment when "no longer... little Alice" walked down the aisle, I was absolutely bawling

I'm so sentimental. Francine you have me all welled-up! Beautiful, beautiful, and oh so memorable. Looks like everything was perfect ~ I'm sure the bride and groom would agree.
