Cirque Du Wiedemer

So, the wedding was the most amazing thing ever. We all loaded onto "The Lookout", a huge catameran. The ceremony was conducted by Brian's aunt BJ who is an ordained minister. It was nice, personal and short (perfect). Then we had wine and cheese and such and boated around for maybe 45 min. Then we pulled into the dock to the site of the reception. Everyone was waiting for us. There were people on stilts, jugglers, balloon makers, pirates, everything. There was 5 tents. the main tent housed the live salsa band, dance floor, couch and chair lounge, the main bar, wedding cake and some of the buffet. Then there was the hookah tent with 4 different flavors and it was filled with pillows, and silk on the ground. There was the photo booth tent with one of those photo booths from the carnival with costumes- That was a blast! There was a tent with mojitos (tropical drinks) and another food tent with tables for eating. Food was eclectic. Everything from sushi to mini cheeseburgers. Including soft shell crab, chocolate fondu, jambalaya, salad, chicken satay. The music was fun with the salsa band. Then tents were beautiful complete with custom made metal life size figures. Lots of local artists contributed to the event. Then there was a show between the tents a couple hours in for the belly dancers with flaming batons and another guy who threw around these fire lit torches. Then we all took the catamaran back to the hotel. It was an amazing night (as you can see from the photos).
