Rodgers-Young 'Gift-Opening'

Sunday

In Canada, the wedding is not over until the 'Gift-Opening' is over. 
On the morning following the day of the wedding, everyone gathers for brunch and gift-opening.
Mrs. Young & her Mom
The Mother-of-the-Bride prepared and served brunch.
Killer butter tarts were handmade by Mrs. Young's 93 yr old grandmother.

I'm thinking 'The Gift-Opening' was not only another excuse to party...
...it was an opportunity to say "good-bye" to new friends and family.
Gotta love Canadians.

Oh Canada! Eh?

Coffee in heavy mugs. 
Tea in delicate china cups.
