Taking High/5 course dinner tea reservations can sometimes be a task, as we have to find out entre’ information and people must decide what they would like. However, during these conversations we find out information about the guest and sometimes it is their celebrating an anniversary, birthday (we provide all anniversary, birthday guests with a framed color photo, as a memory of their high tea.)
Recently we took a reservation for a 59th anniversary, the longest marriage anniversary yet; we had a 55th prior. What a lovely couple and they still admired and loved each other.
That same evening we had another high tea reservation, for a couple, and we placed them in the same room. Little did we know it was their 1st month anniversary celebration.
As we served them dinner we overheard the sage advice passed along from one generation to another; ie marriage gets sweeter with time, loving each other takes a full time effort, she’s just as lovely as the day i met her, etc.
Wow, that young couple could not have received more meaningful counsel and it came free with their high tea.
Linda and I are constantly reminded that we are just facilitators, providing hospitality and encouragement; the evenings are arranged by a higher power.
