For nearly 3 months now we have been looking for a venue for my hazel eyed girls wedding reception...She didn't want some grand place with chair covers and bows...all she really wanted was a pretty dance floor for her first dance with her blue eyed boy.... I know you are going to look at this hall and go what are you thinking it is her wedding day but as you open the doors of this old hall you can already hear the music playing... A beautiful old couple now 77 and 84 run this old hall (5 minutes from our little cottage) and as we stepped inside it with them and heard their story of romance and love, my hazel eyed girl knew she could make it work.... You see the old couple had met at a dance in this hall when she was 16 and he was 23, they married a year later and have been married 60 years this year... We sat for an hour listening to their gorgeous stories of going to a dance once a month their whole lives. Merle told us that her great grand-daughter will sing at their next dance..... My hazel eyed girl smiled and knew then that this December new memories of love will be made ......
