The Last Drop

the last drop of alcohol poured into your glass means??

 

In France the last drop of alcohol poured into a glass has a significant meaning. So much so that when someone is sitting at the table who isn't married, the last drop usually is reserved for their glass.

The last drop of Mumm's champagne, the cork popped loudly and shot straight into our neighbor's yard. The next morning he came over with a bag of croissants to question us, "A loud pop, a cork… laughter… What was the occasion?"

Half asleep, we ate the croissants around the kitchen table.

Chelsea was giddy all day.

Do you think it was because of the last drop from the evening before, or the croissants that gave her such joy?

  1. Are congratulations in order? :). I hope so.

  2. A baby? I remember how everybody would make a big deal of giving me the last drop when we were trying to conceive.

  3. The last several posts appear to be leading up (albeit very slowly) to an impending announcement. I do hope congratulations are in order, and soon!

  4. I thought about Chelsea when you posted about your grandmother’s bracelet and shoes. 🙂

  5. I said a few days ago to my sister Chelsea is getting married-an engagement has happened and although not confirmed the story of her and mr e the wedding shoes the bangle and now the champagne I would say it is happening.

  6. An engagement is to be announced!

    Oh you TEASE! Congrats to Chelsea and Mr Espresso are in order, I bet! Yay!!

    OK Corey, enough with the games, tell us the wedding date, or did it already happen? Either way, great news. We could have a virtual Bridal Shower for Chelea, not sure how that would work but sounds fun!

  9. So, along with the rest of the commenting readers, I am in a state of suspense…wondering…anticipation..Just what is the announcement? waiting for surprises is not a strong suit for me….soon, please soon share with us all.

    OMG!!! Virtual bridal shower! THAT sounds like a blast. I’m in!
    Ok, so I’ll come to the wedding with my (photog) husband and we will do digital wedding photos FREE. Que every magazine that has ever published your work, que the knot.com. I am so excited.

  12. Corey you’re a tease but luv ya!
    I guess this means Chelsea and Espresso are engaged, or they set the date?
    If so congratulations and hugs from Los Angeles!!
    Félicitations 😉

  13. Wedding bells??!!

  14. This is weird, Chelsea has come to mind over the last couple of days when looking at your blog. I’ve been wondering when Chelsea and Mr Espresso might get married? I think your repeat post about the coffee machine got me going you tease! XX

  15. OHH!!!! I hope so. I’ve been following this romance for a few years now. How much fun for all of you if so. The coffee machine was such a great beginning. It totally spoke something much more than even they might have thought way back then.

  16. Congrats!!: at least you now have something happy to think about other than Sacha’s move to US.

  17. becky up a hill

    ~Joy~

  18. Perhaps their future children will be referred to as the Demitasses. Xx

  19. Presumably an espresso machine is NOT on the gift registry 😉

  20. EXACTLY!!

  21. So funny I was about to agree with your post too. Notice how the photographs of Chelsea’s left hand have been cropped to avoid revealing THE Engagement ring!!

  22. Yes, I am anticipating a wedding in your family. Is it so?

  23. True friendship is a wonderful prelude to an enduring romance.

  24. Ana Maria

    How exciting! I can’t wait!

  25. Barbara Blizzard

    I vote for that last drop of champagne and it’s repeat at a future celebration! Waiting for the announcement like so many others.

  26. Shelley Noble

    May that drop bless her life with Martin with all the sweetness and effervescent joy life has to offer. A long and fulfilling life to them both! And to you for more joys than you could have imagined.

    such a sneaky way to draw out the announcement, day after day. Haha!
