![“...you want to hear about the wedding; and I shall be happy to tell you, for we all behaved charmingly.” —Emma
•
From the moment I first saw Sherbourne Park, I admit I felt a bit like a heroine in one of Jane Austen’s novels. I was invited to attend a family wedding at this beautiful venue last summer. It was incredible!
•
You can imagine the added thrill I felt when I discovered we were also invited to stay the night at the “great house” after the wedding, seeing as I am such a huge fan of Georgian architecture and grand old homes.
•
My response was similar to that of Catherine Morland’s when she received her invitation to visit Northanger Abbey: [Sherbourne Park]! These were thrilling words, and wound up [my] feelings to the highest point of ecstasy. [My] grateful and gratified heart could hardly restrain its expressions within the language of tolerable calmness. To receive so flattering an invitation! To have [my] company so warmly solicited! (NA 140)

Link in bio to my account of the wedding, told from the perspective of a Cali girl who sometimes thinks she should have been born a long time ago in a far-off land. (Blog article for Jane Austen’s World.)
