The Valentine's Day

By | Blog

 

Valentines Day

Valentine’s Day is a very old tradition, thought to have originated from a Roman festival.

The Romans had a festival called Lupercalia in the middle of February, officially the start of their springtime.

It’s thought that as part of the celebrations, boys drew names of girls from a box. They’d be boyfriend and girlfriend during the festival and sometimes they’d get married.

Later on, the church wanted to turn this festival into a Christian celebration and decided to use it to remember St Valentine too.

Gradually, St Valentine’s name started to be used by people to express their feelings to those they loved.

 On Saturday 12th of September 2015, Caroline and Peter got married and celebrated the Wedding Reception in the glamorous and magical place  called The Old Finsbury Town Hall.

Caroline and Peter met online 4 years ago, they got engaged trying (and failing) to see the Northern Lights in Iceland in December 2013. They choose this venue because they wanted somewhere central and accessible for guests. They like the hall because of it’s stunning decorations , the whole organisation has a social purpose so that the money they pay will help aspiring dancers.

 each table was decorated with a blue beautiful flowers and on each place setting as an original gift for guest  , a little pot with the spices of the menu and the recipe to recreate the main plate, alongside the names of the guests were written by hand in a flowery cards and each table was named with one aromatic spice.
