Everything and More . . . .

I always hoped that some day our creekside would host a wedding, preferably my daughter’s. It was the perfect place.

Last year it came true when we decided to have a family reunion and my daughter said, ‘why not throw in a wedding, too?’ It was everything we could have hoped for and More according to the bridal couple and their families!

The bride was stunning in a combination of both her Grandma’s 70+ yr old beautiful patina wedding gowns with a dash of her Mom’s. The Groom was handsome and the hat was perfect. The weather called for 70% rain and the sun showed in all it’s mountain creek brilliance. (Tho we were ready to use the ‘Forever Porch’). Instead the bride and attendants processed down it’s aisle, while the guests looked on.

The bridal bouquet was gathered from wild flowers earlier in the day by cousins and bride. It was gorgeous.

The banquet was set in the lodge living room with plenty of seating in and out.

The Forever Porch was cleared so Daddy and Daughter could have their special dance while all applauded.

The cake, a favorite of the bride’s from Buck’s Coffee Shop, was cut and everyone loved it. The stairs were a bridal photo ‘Must Have of all the family that attended. With guests, there were 32 in all.
