Weddings and events hosted at Richards Travel lodge
Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Belgrove, Tracey Stroud and Ryan Belgrove on Saturday 11th March “Tied the Knot” at the Registrar’s Office in Jamestown, St Helena.
Following the photo shoot with official photographers, Daniel and Claire Stroud, we hosted a reception at the Richards Travel Lodge.
The Initial wedding plans was for an outdoor wedding party however that was rapidly changed with unpredicted wind and rain, although this did little to dampen the spirits of the invited thirty guests who had gathered during the course of the morning for pre-drinks.
During the wedding planning stages, Tracey and Ryan told Linda and Derek, “it must be simple” indicating that there shouldn’t be any over the top decoration, or elaboration of the décor, but a colour scheme that suited everyone and furniture and fittings that made the occasion, simple but special day.
A Red Velvet naked cake, inspired by Olive Bagley was the order of the day, and a three-course lunch created once again by Richards finest dinning followed by fun and games, completed a great afternoon whilst everyone indulged in alcoholic beverages or otherwise.
Birthday Celebrations.
Auntry Lawrence reached a wonderful milestone (Wednesday 15th March 2017) as she celebrated her 70th birthday. as is the Birthday tradition on St Helena you reach instant fame when you celebrate a birthday, as the local Saint FM radio station reminds everyone that you are a year older and requests for songs to mark the occasion come from abroad.
In celebrating her birthday Auntry and her husband Peter chose to spend the evening at the Richards Travel Lodge celebrating with family and friends, enjoying a buffet meal and drinks.
During the evening greetings were received from family and friends abroad and a toast was made to her past years and future health and happiness.
Derek in making the toast concluded with this very apt verse: Seventy is not just the age to count your own blessings, but also to count how much of a blessing your life has been to others – Whether you turn seventy or eighty, no matter how old you get, you will always be the wonderful person that everyone in this room has the pleasure of knowing – To your future health – Happy 70th birthday.
