I wanted to end my October Blogs with the report about the fun Masquerade Ball and wedding reception Craig and I attended last Saturday night.

I must admit that I had fun dressing up as the wife of Zorro. Craig dressed as Zorro with the mask and all. I forgot to carry in my red mask as we had our pictures taken, but we did look the parts.

The festivities were held in the Underground Social Hall in Provo, and it was the perfect magical venue! Jasmine and Eli, the bride and groom looked like they had just stepped from the pumpkin coach from Cinderella! I don't think I have ever seen someone in real life that looked like a real princess as Jasmine did. She has a wonderful collection of items she has found in her world travels.  I especially loved the items from France and those that seemed to transport us to a long ago day and far away place. The 'Underground' was dark and earthy, lighted by elegant candles, posh pumpkins, and soft lighting. The live band added to the charm of the evening with the sound of violins wafting through the air.

The edible fare was perfectly fitted for an underground Masquerade Ball in October with pumpkin soup in bread bowls as the main dish. There was humus dip, flat bread chips, beautiful fruit tarts and the hot drink of the season, wassail.

Eli and Jasmine were the most beautiful couple of the night, as it should have been. But, I must say that Craig and I were the next best dressed masquerade attendees. All in all, my first and last masquerade ball was totally enjoyable.
