The Virginia House, Outside

Anastasia and Tom chose to have their wedding dinner at a historic house in Richmond. The Virginia House was constructed from the materials of a sixteenth century manor house in England, although it was built here in the USA in the late 1920s. The original part of the building dates back to around 1119, and a Elizabeth I was once a guest. Here is a link that tells a lot more about the house: http://www.vahistorical.org/vh/virginia_house01.htm

Initially we were scheduled to have dinner on the back veranda which overlooked beautiful gardens. When we arrived at the Virginia House, there was a bar set up under the back cupola, and there were two people playing guitars quietly while waiters strolled around offering us wonderful hors d'oeuvres.

The table was beautifully set and was large and square. We walked around for a little while, sipping our drinks and nibbling on the goodies, and then it began to rain. The bride looked nervous for a moment and then someone distracted her. The hospitality team sprang into action and within just a few moments a butler came out to invite us inside where everything had been set up in the Great Room.
