seemingly impossible magic tricks. a constant supply of tasty treats accompanied the
champagne, from foot-long cheese twists to exquisite canapés. Tiny beef burgers with
all the trimmings, miniature Yorkshire puddings with roast beef and horseradish sauce
and good old sausage and mash went down well with hungry guests, with a sushi bar
making sure there was something for all tastes.
The hosts then addressed their guests with heartfelt ten-minute speeches, before
the doors were flung open and Yes!!!Brazil took the floor in an explosion of music and
colour. as the drink flowed the dancing began in earnest, with an array of Brazilian
sweets on hand – churros, cinnamon doughnuts, brigadeiros and truffles – for guests
to refuel their energy.
at midnight the bacon butties appeared, to restore the danced-out guests for their
journey home, and they left with macaroons, brownies – and a Damian and Thiago
printed tea towel to remind them of an incredible party.
The couple’s guests had travelled from all over the UK, as well as from as far afield
as Singapore, Brazil, Portugal, The netherlands and germany, and for them the party
wasn’t over. The London Kitchen in Lambeth opened up for guests to enjoy brunch
with coffee, bloody marys and bucks fizz. Fruit and pastries were followed by Sunday
roasts, finished off with Eton mess, sherry trifle and banoffee pie. and just in case it
was all getting a bit strenuous – or there were any pulled muscles from the night
before’s dancing! – there was a masseur on hand to smooth out any tension. have any
guests ever been better catered for..?
