Not all weddings are perfect.

Invariably something happens unexpectedly. But it would not be due to lack of planning from this bride! She had the details, for the details, with details. Incredibly organized and thorough. She knew what she wanted and anyone necessary received copies.

The bride & groom also had a "Day of Decision Maker". Someone they trusted to either make a decision or be able to run interference as necessary. Hallie was awesome!

The venue staff are amazing. Constantly doing things in the background. Usually predetermined tasks. "Do this after that", etc. Occasionally, the "figure it out". Today they were asked if they had a pretty copy of a Marriage Certificate as the bride & groom did not have one. The owner said "I'll find one on-line and have it ready". That's Five Star service!!!

Cannot go without mentioning the officiant. A highly experienced pastor who practically recited the entire ceremony by heart. Apparently, he did not know of the bride & groom until a few days before. Their pastor was unavailable to travel the long distance. On their way to the wedding venue, they stopped at a random church and asked the minister what he was doing on Saturday. How cool is that?!

The ceremony was a beautiful one. Nice sunny, warmish day with a refreshing breeze.

The service wasn't a long one. Twelve minutes and fourteen seconds from "The Seating of the Mothers" to the Recessional of the Mothers. A simple, yet complete ceremon.

It did include The First Look. Once the bridal party were all in position, the groom bowed his head. The doors were opened and an emotional dad led his daughter to the head of the aisle. They paused for the Best Man to queue the groom to look up. Oh my was she stunning in her wedding gown!!!

And then they were one!!! Whoop-Whoop!

The rest of the celebration included a wonderful meal, libations, and dancing of course. Plenty of visiting and laughter too!

A well planned and well executed day!

Congratulations to the newest Mr. & Mrs. Dingman!!!!

Could there have been a more perfect moment for a wedding?!

What a gorgeous day! Bright, pleasant temperature, low humidity. Everything desirable for an outdoor ceremony. This venue even has a pavilion which makes sitting in the sun more enjoyable to watch the union.

The ceremony was flawless! The officiant delivered a wonderful service. He reinforced keeping God at the center of their relationship as well as letting the guests know the bride and groom first met at the Dollar Store.

The bride was absolutely stunning in her pure white wedding gown. Her genuine smile lights up a room. The beautiful bridesmaids complimented the royal court quite well.

The groom had an air of "all business" about him with deceiving hint of "clear the dance floor cause I'm about to kill it!" The groomsmen were all too eager to elevate the lively, energetic dancing.

Congratulations to the newest Mr. & Mrs. WALKER!!!!

A perfect day for getting hitched!

The weather could not have been more incredible. Sunny with a few light clouds peppered here and there, mild temperature and a slight breeze.

The venue was in tip-top condition and the exceptional staff worked feverishly touching up every detail right up to doors open.

The vendors were focus and they brought their A-game for sure.

All of this creates an amazing atmosphere for a common purpose and that's providing the best experience for the bride & groom, their families and guests.

The ceremony was simply beautiful. From the moment the mothers we es**rted down the aisle by the groom (each receiving a hug of course) to the presenting of the newlyweds, it was smooth.

The "First Look" was during the processional. Once the bridal party was in their respective places, it was time to present the bride. The officiant asked "All rise" and the groom bowed his head. The doors were opened and dad and daughter stepped through the double doors.

She! Was! Absolutely! Breathtakingly beautiful!

The Best Man nudged the groom to open his eyes. Wow what an emotional moment. The groom wavered side to side while wiping tears. His face displayed how deeply moved he was at her elegance and that amazing dress.

And just like that, they were hitched!!!

The celebration afterwards was exactly the way you would wish it to be. Food, fun and laughter. Everyone looked as if they really enjoyed themselves.

A couple of highlights to mention.

Dad was doing great all day. He held it together through the ceremony when he was asked "Who gives this bride?", right up to the Father/Daughter spotlight dance. And then he was an uncontrollable mess. Bless his heart.

Mom surprised her son (and everyone else) with something he certainly wasn't expecting during the Mother/Son dance. She recorded a message and had it dubbed into the music. He was blown away and they both cried through to the end. There wasn't a dry eye in the house.

The open floor dancing started slowly, but it really was too early to get it going. Once the bridal party got their second wind though, it was full on screaming lyrics and gyration.

The night finally ended literally by shutting the music down.

Congratulations to the newest Mr. & Mrs. SIMMERMAN!!!

Picture perfect! Plain and simple! It does not get any better than this!

The weather, phenomenal!
The hilltop overlook, incredible!
The guests, top tier!
The stars of the show, stunning!!!

When everything falls into place flawlessly, that friends, is an absolute enjoyable experience.

This event was a big one. Pushing near 300 invited and almost all seats were filled. So many guests RSVP'ed, it filled the reception hall to capacity. Seriously, no room for a dance floor. It was moved outside onto the patio. This event required three sound systems. The ceremony on top of the hill, the dining in the reception hall and the dance celebration on the patio.

The ceremony went just as we rehearsed. Actually, even better.

The rundown:
-The grandparents were es**rted down the aisle.
-The mothers followed. The groom es**rted his mother to her seat and gave her a big hug before taking his spot at the altar.
-The groomsmen (aka Studs), led by the officiant, entered in from the right. Each taking a turn to give the groom some final encouragement (bro hug) before taking their place.
- The radiant bridesmaids entered one by one. A few of them gave the groom fist bumps before taking their place.
- The Flower Girls and Ring Bearer were so adorable.
- The officiant made the request, "Will you please rise?"

Oh! My! Goodness! The bride was simply breathtaking. She beamed with joy and calmness. The wedding gown was spot on and fit perfectly. She really didn't need any enhancement as she has a natural beauty about herself and her personality matched her outward appearance.

Dad did his best to hold it together bringing his daughter to the altar. You could see the pride well up in that man's face when he answered that glorious question, "Who gives this woman to be with this man?"

The overlook landscape backdrop to the ceremony is utterly difficult to explain. The pictures will not do it justice.

The ceremony also included an angelic singing during the Unity Ceremony (adding soil from two jars to a potted tree) by the bride's favorite aunt Abby, and Papaw Darrell reading a poem to his granddaughter, the bride. (Not a dry eye in the house.)

And then they were pronounced Man & Wife!!!

Ladies and gentlemen, the celebration was as epic as the ceremony. Everything just clicked. It was perfect!

It is my honor to introduce to you Mr. & Mrs. BAKER!!!!

Rain on your wedding day is widely considered good luck. Symbolically, it represents cleansing, a fresh start and fertility!

Additionally, because a wet knot is notoriously difficult to untie, rain symbolizes that your "tied knot" will last.

Well, it has rained roughly six inches in the last two days (according to his dad). It sprinkled heavily during rehearsal too. And it was still raining morning of the big day.

Did that matter? Not in the least. It was a minor inconvenience at best. At the worst, your shoes needed a little warshing off as they say in these parts. At the end of the day what mattered is that these two have come together in the eyes of the Lord and these witnesses to become one.

Fortunately, the rain did stop mid-morning and we didn't have to resort to Plan B.... because there wasn't one. Other than navigating to the tent and covered porch & barn, this was the plan.

The Ceremony: All ceremonies are basically the same and at the same time unique to the betrothed and their families. This one had a few elements that made the moment quite special.

It wasn't the setting nor the decorations. Although, upon first impressions (preceremony), it was very pleasant and inviting. Despite the soggy ground they did a tremendous and beautiful job preparing and executing.

It was the outward display of emotions that unfolded before us that was unique. From the long embrace between father and daughter during the exchange to the beautifully read vows the bride & groom expressed to each other.

The First Look: This was to happen during the ceremony. The groom was to turn around and when the bride was in position, the groom would take his first look at his beautiful bride in her stunning dress. This is what was practiced during rehearsal.

Overnight, the groom decided he couldn't do that. He wanted to have a special private moment with just the two of them before the ceremony. (He didn't want the guests to see him fall apart.) So, they had their private moment and it truly was special. She looked amazing and he couldn't stop grinning.

To my surprise, the groom still turned away during the processional and when the bride arrived, he turned around and guess what? Yes, he was physically emotional still. The thought of marriage is an amazing thing. Actually going through the motions, I think it hit him...again. He's just a big Ole teddy bear with a soft heart.

When they kissed, everyone saw fireworks. Correction, everyone HEARD fireworks. Several minutes of them. Like. A. Lot. Of. Them. So many, the pastor exclaimed "Oh My Heavens". That brought a laugh. This was a last minute addition to the ceremony that no one was expecting. Dad called his buddy and his buddy delivered an abundance. More than even dad expected.

After the pyrotechnics final came to an end, the bride and groom were presented to the familys and guests for the first time as Mr. & Mrs. Let the celebration begin!!!

Food, fun, family & laughter throughout the evening.

They have fantastic support by incredibly talented people. The vendors simply outdid themselves. I'm certain it's because of the personal relationships they have with the families.

Can't say enough about the volunteers. Better known as The Tribe: Brooke, Harri, Nikki & Gracie. Oh, and everyone needs a Wally. Anytime this guy was asked to do something, he was on it. And you could tell he genuinely enjoyed it. He's got a killer smile and a positive attitude. Find yourself a Wally. And if you can't find one, be one!

Again, at the end of the day, what is important? They are married. Did everyone have a great time doing it? You bet!

Ladies & Gentlemen, Please welcome the newest Mr. & Mrs. Mason!!!!

Here's a match made in heaven!

Two souls that are crazy compatible and incredibly complimentary of each other.

Their hearts and minds are one and they reinforce and support each other.

To know one of them, is to know the other. Simply put, they just go together.

What a spectacular celebration!!!

It had everything the bride and groom ever wanted and so, so much more!

They meticulously planned the perfect reception. I have the paperwork to prove it! (I'm certain the wedding was amazing as well.)

The venue had ample space for cocktail hour on the main level. Then open the upper level for dining and the reception festivities.

Once gathered in the reception hall, it's time for the Grand Entrance! Now, I need to preface this, these people are HUGE Indiana University sports fans. So naturally, there were Cream & Crimson rally towels and a high level of endless spirited energy in the house.

The guests were deeply enthusiastic about the moment. The cheers were loud and the towels rallied like they've never rallied before.

"Please welcome the Bridesmaids!!!" These beautiful ladies entered with class and fire!

"Now bring out the groomsmen!!!" Talk about hyping up the room!

Attempting to shout overtop of the deafening excitement "Ladies & Gentlemen! It is my pleasure to introduce to you for the second time in history Mr. & Mrs. Zakrowski!!!!"

The room exploded in an incredibly loud roar! Guests were on their feet (a few standing in their seats) giving it all they had in their approval of this union!

Not surprising, it took a moment to settle them down and move forward with the welcome and dining.

The bride was absolutely stunning. Beautiful wedding gown. (And it had a very cool feature.... pockets!) The groom cleans up quite handsomely too. (His trousers had pockets as well.)

The venue provided a plated two-course meal and a full staff to distribute and buss the tables. It was mesmerizing the efficiency to which they moved.

The dinner music consisted of all the married couples in attendance, their respective Couple's First Dance song. How thoughtful and cool is that?!

The toasts, as expected, were full of emotion and laughter. The Maids of Honor, also know as the bride's sisters, gave a heartfelt message of adoration to their big sister. The Bestman, and groom's brother, delivered a solid toast.

I sincerely hope someone videoed the Father-of-the-Bride's epic speech. He legit regaled us with his first born's entire history and surprisingly the groom was always in the picture. When she went to day care, he was there. When she went to primary and secondary school, he was there. Even college, he was there. Somewhere in the high-school years they developed an affection for each other. Dad went on and on about how he could see these two paired well together.

This entire time, his hands were visibly shaking, but his voice was mostly steady. There were moments when the memories got the better of him. To compensate, he would throw out a little humor. "I'm shaking harder than a dog trying to pass a peach pit." LOL. Occasionally, when he recognized his speech was beautifully long and he was stalling to remember his place, he would sing under his breath the last Disney tune he and his daughter danced to together. "🎶 A tale as old as time..." O. M. Goodness he had the room on a roller coaster. They laughed and cried. It was amazing.

A little while later, I made dad and daughter cry. I'm not certain if she or he selected their Father-Daughter song, which they did danced to. But I had to transition to The Beauty and The Beast's song "🎶 A tale as old as time". That was an emotional and joyful moment.

Did I mention they are IU sports fans? Did I also mention that his parents arranged a Special Guest appearance? Indiana University's very own mascot, The Bison was welcomed into the room in glorious fashion! The room erupted and bride & groom were stunned.

This reception was a blast!!!

Congratulations to the Newest Mr. & Mrs. Z!!!!

It truly was my honor to be a part of your very special day.

It wasn't the outdoor ceremony everyone was looking forward to. Spring weddings are a risk and spring was the uninvited guest that we didn't let ruin our day.

We went from a beautiful, sunny & warm rehearsal the evening before to cloudy and a threat of a downpour right at ceremony start.

The decision finally was made to hold the ceremony indoors. Several moving parts had to come together to make that happen. The venue staff rolled up their sleeves and knocked it out of the park as if that was the plan all along. The bridal party and families embraced the change. We didn't practice for an indoor ceremony, but they made it look easy.

You know what they say about "rain in your wedding day", right? It's a sign of refresh, renewal.... and fertility!

The processional:
The grandparents and parents came from the entry, down the aisle to their seats.
The bridal party marched from the top of the elegant staircase in pairs.
The Ring Bearer proudly carried in the golden heart jewelry case that held the wedding rings.
The adorable Flower Girl placed the pedals delicately down the aisle.
The first time officiant, and long time friend of the groom, asked the guests, "Will you please rise?".
The Bride appeared at the top of the stairs. Wow. Just wow. Absolutely stunning. She beamed with joy. Her smile is infectious. Dad, gazing upwards, was waiting at the bottom of the stairs to es**rt her to the altar.

"Who gives this woman to be with this man?"

Dad, who was understandably an emotional mess inside, managed to respond, with barely a crackle in his voice, "Her Mother and I".

And then the two became one!

The reception was incredible.

The highlight that captured everyone's attention was the toasts to the newlyweds.

Big brother, and best man, described his admiration for the groom and a few, not so flattering stories from their childhood.

The fearless and outgoing Maid of Honor, didn't hold back her love for her big sister.

"Next up, Big Daddy Noah". He noted how special all the guests were to the newlyweds and thanked them for showing up for them. He also pointed out how much his family appreciated and enjoyed getting to know the groom's side. Then the spotlight was on the Bride & Groom. He said he wasn't going to cry. And he didn't. It was close, but he pulled himself together and expressed how much he & Timber loved this union.

Then it was the Groom's father's turn. This was an emotional speech from the start that didn't leave a dry eye in the house. Dad expressed how proud the groom's mother would have been of this moment. He moved on to how well his son and new daughter-in-love complimented each other. He did finish his speech off with a little advice to the Bride "If Davis ever gets out of line, you just let your dad and I know. We'll take care of that quickly." Everyone laughed.

All-in-all, this was an amazing day!! They fellowshipped, sang and danced all night long.

"Ladies & Gentlemen, for the third time in history, it is my pleasure to introduce Mr. & Mrs. Miller!!!"

Congratulations and thank you for letting me be a part of your very special day.

Papaw (& dad) kept a secret from granddaughter.
Both of them kept a secret from all of them.
He kept a secret from daughter.
She kept a secret from mom.
They all made me an accomplice.
And it was AWESOME!!!

First secret:

Dad had always planned to officiant his daughter's wedding. She didn't know that.

Daughter wanted dad to perform the ceremony. He didn't know that. But she didn't think he could make it through without breaking down. So she asked papaw.

Dad convinced papaw to step away after the "who gives this woman" exchange and let dad complete the service.

Dad masterfully delivered a heartwarming and Godly ceremony. His voice was steady. His thoughts were deliberate. And his message was clear.

2nd secret:

It was time for the Father/Daughter Dance. Queue the music. The bride finds dad and brings him to the dance floor. A few seconds in, she realizes it's not the song she selected. A bit of anxiety sets in. "Dad, that's not the right song." He looks at her and says calmly "Yes it is..." A few more seconds go by as she tries to figure out what's going on and finally realizes that's her father's vocal on the track. She exploded with tears of joy and amazement. They embraced deeply.

Third secret:

Instead of the traditional "Tossing of the Bouquet", the bride took the moment to honor her mother by recognizing her love, sacrifice, and support that only a mother can give.

The rest of the story:

The bride, who has natural beauty to begin with, was absolutely stunning in her wedding gown. It fit perfectly. And her hair and make- up, simply beautiful. Her bridesmaids complimented her well.

Put a white button down shirt and jacket on a cowboy and you will have a handsome groom. His "boys"made him look good.

Despite the weather changing from sunny, pleasant and 80ish degrees the day before to rainy, windy and 53 chilly degrees, this was a phenomenal day. Everything went according to the plan and it appeared everyone enjoyed themselves.

Congratulations to the newest Mr. & Mrs. Ikerd! It was my honor to be a part of your very special day.
