Pre-wedding dinner

The bride anfpd groom have organised a family and friends pre wedding dinner on the beach Saturday night.  The resort has set up tables and chairs and all the buffet and BBQ food right in the sand. It looks amazing. Very romantic and cool with a gentle evening breeze fragrant with grilled seafood.

 It wasn't long before I kicked off my shoes. Even sandal wedges are too  uncomfortable to wear in the sand. The cocktails flowed but there was also wine from Chile.  Wine is not often offered so I really enjoyed it for a change.  The food was delicious with fresh salads and prawns, lobsters and fish steamed in bamboo as well as beef and pork spare ribs.  Dessert was a mix of fruit and small pots of yoghurt mousse, cheesecake or mini cakes. 

The highlight of the night were some fire dancers. They were quite thrilling in their twirling and so nimble. Then they selected Jasmine and I to participate. They twirled the fire around us and made us bend backwards while they swept over our bodies with flames. It was quite hot and yet not scary. I felt complete trust in the artist. I was really proud of myself and everyone was impressed with our composure.

 The finale was one of the artists standing on a rock a little off shore and spinning the fire balls so that it looked like fireworks. Spectacular.
