Elaine and David's Reception
at Bartram's Gardens
The reason that Elaine and David are having their wedding reception here, at Bartram's Gardens in Philadelphia on the Schuylkill River, is that a natural spirit of learning, an aura of Quaker wisdom, still lives on here today.
These meadows, ancient stone buildings, brick courtyards are a fine world in which to commit to the future of that outside world - the one we see in the lit Liberty Places' zig-zags of earthbound lightning arching over the wildflower meadow I'm in. Imagine a beautiful that lies juts a miles from center city Philadelphia.
Time to Get to Work
Gary - the catering supervisor - is calling from the wooded dell. Time to leave my hide-out.
David and Elaine have a sense of spatial adventure and are planning to move the guests through the night in a way that will surprise and enchant. They're not just planning a reception in the gardens but have arranged, with us, a travelling party that moves from place to place. - with a different food and drink experience at each place.
Greeted by the gowned and black tied couple along a pathway through the trees to the dell, the guests will have already picked up a glass of champagne by the tractor gate next to the 18th 
century stone barn. They can stop further down in the woods for a game of croquet or let the next champagne station fizz them on to the clutches of the siren saxophone that they've heard soloing since they got out of their car.
The soprano sax is under the white marquee in the dell where baskets of grilled portabella focaccia with fresh herbs and an Oregon Chardonnay (Elaine's home state) - await.
Pied Piper Pipes the Guests from Station to Station and Station and . . .another 4
When the guests have splayed themselves and glasses over the grass, the pied piper sax will muster the guests to the Yellowwood tree and it's salty fruit of piles of steamed clams. The frozen vodka will pave the way and it's bottles, wrapped in ice and wildflower shrouds, are laid out in a cooler awaiting their moment.
Then it will be on to the dovecote with margaritas and roasted vegetable tortillas jostling for attention in the brick courtyard underfoot.
With a riff on the blues band guitar the guests will be beckoned around the corner to the rough stone barn for hot dancing and a hot grill buffet.
What will happen tonight is all that.
