"The 19th day of August is an especially auspicious day for a wedding, for it is the feast day of 'Vinalia rustica', a day that has a rich place in mythology and ancient traditions. On this day, the people of ancient Rome during the dedication of a temple to Venus, vowed a libation of all the wine of the succeeding vintage. Venus the goddess of love and beauty, was also the goddess of gardens and vineyards. So this is a day when love and nature are in perfect balance..."
I wrote these words three years ago for my and Vinomaker's wedding.
Happy anniversary Vinomaker.

Happy anniversary! :-)
What a great day for all you made your wedding....congratulations and future felicitations from all OTW.
Yes, it was a grand day surrounded by good friends wishing us well and grapevines offering the promise of a coming bountiful harvest. Fortunately we had the fruits of past harvests to share with all our guests. Having great friends, good wine, coupled with tasty food and wonderful weather, made for great memories. Happy Anniversary Vinogirl!
