He stood his ground with her, but 100% for her.

The weather, typical autumn conditions, turned cold and wet just before the big day. The morning of decorating, the bride being the "try to accommodate everyone" type decided to move the outdoor ceremony indoors. "I'd love to have it outside, but this will be better for everyone else."

Her and her crew rearranged the reception hall (dining tables and chairs) to create an aisle and moved the sweetheart table for the altar. "It will be fine. We'll come thru the back door, weave our way thru the tables and have the ceremony here."

"It will be fine" she said....

You can hear the quiet disappoint.

The groom wasn't a part of this decision. He didn't know about it until he arrived for rehearsal. She was trying to solve a problem. He saw that she wasn't getting the day she wanted and deserved.

A "discussion" ensued.

Him: "It will be dry, sunny and 56 degrees tomorrow. The trees are colorful. The leaves are falling. It's going to be beautiful. It's OUR wedding, we should have it outside."

He stood his ground.... for her.

Ladies and gentlemen, IT WAS PERFECT! Even his future mother-in-law had to admit to him he was right!

The bride did get a little anxious walking the long path to her soon-to-be husband. But once she saw him, standing there, all handsome and calm, her anxiety faded away and her smile returned.

She and dad made it to the head of the aisle. The groom, with closed eyes and bowed head, was prompted to look upon his beautiful bride in her wedding dress for the first time. His grin said it all. He was so ready for this.

Something every bride and groom should be aware of when they have an officiant that knows then on a personal level and is also family. Uncle John, with a very calming voice, proceeded to describe to the guests his niece's affinity with ketchup. She was not prepared for that. But we all got a nice chuckle out of it.

They read their vows to each other, exchanged rings, branded hide in unity and held their first kiss for a very, very long time!

The reception was as perfect as the ceremony with a couple of extra special moments that should only be shared by the bride. Except for the cake cutting ceremony. He gently placed the morsel of cake in her mouth. She started gently and..... well... let's just say he's probably still trying to get the icing out of his mustache.

They really enjoyed themselves all evening with all their favorite people.

Ladies and gentlemen, for the third time in history, please welcome MR. & MRS. JENKINS!!!!

What do you do when you're favorite cousin named Natasha asks, well you answer the call. I wouldn't have missed it for the world, but was super honored to support her and Ian on their special day.

It was a little bit of a family reunion too. Weddings sometimes are.

So, the plan was an outdoor, no cover, ceremony on a knoll overlooking the valley below. Complete with a set of staged barn doors and wooden benches. The altar was a cattle feeder and just to the right was a huge tire swing.

Unfortunately, Mother Nature decided to arrive early. Plans were altered and the ceremony moved to the covered pavilion. Most of the decorative elements were still utilized.

The ceremony unfolded as we had rehearsed.

The first time officiant (long time pastor) started is off by asking everyone to share a moment of peace for those that were no longer with us. A song plated in the background. "Save a seat". He was in the Father- of-the-bride's wedding and had the pleasure of officiating his daughter's ceremony. He performed a wonderful service.

Next was Seating of the Mothers. The groom escorted his mother to her seat. Giving her a big before taking his place at the altar next to the officiant. The bride's brother escorted her mother. She hugged her boy and her soon to be son-in-law.

The bridal party entered one-by-one. The groomsmen have their boy a bro-hug before taking their spot. The elegant bridesmaids to their place.

The pavilion did have a set of sliding doors which the bride and her father hid behind until the reveal.

She was absolutely gorgeous. A better dress could not have been selected. Her smile could light up a room. Her dimples gave her that little extra sparkle.

Dad led her to the altar where he was asked that ultimate question "Who gives this bride?" I wouldn't say he was eager to respond, but he didn't waste any time. (I can say this cause I'm family and they know me.) He embraced his little girl one last time as a single woman. Shook his hand and grinned as if to say "she's all yours buddy".

A five second kiss and three whoops later they were hitched! Throw in some bubbles as they exited.

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

A better day could not have been selected for an autumn wedding. The weather was picture perfect, sunny & mild temperature. The trees are starting to turn colors. The barn setting was quite picturesque.

There was a bit of pleasant uniqueness about this ceremony.

The bridal party marched in, in traditional "Western Style", bridesmaid being escorted by groomsmen. (I was today years old when I learned that had a name.) However, once they made it to the altar, they proceeded to sit on the wooden pews with the parents. The adorable flower girls and handsome ring bearers followed suit.

The bride, with her father, was presented to the guests by sliding open the large barn door. The barn sits slightly higher than the ceremony spot, with the barn door facing west. Perfect for the sun rays to hit it this time of day.

Oh my was the bride absolutely stunning! The bright sunlight made that pure white dress glow against the rustic barn backdrop and carmel-tanned skintone.

She was anxious underneath, but she showed great poise and walked with ease down to the head of the aisle.

The groom hasn't seen any of this yet. His head is bowed..... waiting. He wavered side-to-side on his feet. I think he was a little anxious as well.

This is the moment. "The First Look".

The groom was encouraged to raise his head and gaze upon his lovely bride. That, ladies and gentlemen, was a huge smile. Huge.

The bride & dad advanced to the altar, they hugged and the exchange was made.

The bride & groom stood alone at the altar with the officiant. This made the ceremony feel a little more intimate for the bride & groom. The first time officiant, a.k.a. step-dad, also brought an air of familiarity and comfort to the bride & groom.

When the rings were requested, the young bearers approached from their seats and handed the rings to the officiant.

The whole ceremony was simply beautiful.

And the celebration afterwards was phenomenal!

Kicked it off with the Grand Entrance leading straight into the Couple's First Dance.

"After we have dinner, we want to visit with everyone before we move forward." They were attimate about thanking all that could make it to their special day.

They ate. They were toasted. And they danced.

The evening ended with them show dancing while surrounded by they're favorites.

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

This was one busy day for sure!

Let's start with a rehearsal as soon as the sun comes up (8AM)!

It was a little cool, a tad breezy and a little damp still from the morning dew, but they were eager to "Get this day over with". A lot of things to do in the last moments can be stressful. But the hard part is already over. He proposed and she said yes. The rest of this is the celebration. Enjoy it!

There was a ceremony plan, add a couple enhancements and they were ready!

Fast forward to 5PM, guests are seated, bridal party is lined up, the stunning bride gave the thumbs up, it's go time!

Y'all, the ceremony was beautiful and flawless! They even looked at each other when they said "I do". Three whoops (first kiss, presentation, and why not kiss again) and the deal was sealed!

The reception was a blast! Dinner, cake, dancing, they did it all.

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

These two are a team thru-n-thru!

They've built a house and planned a wedding over the past year!!! And both turned out incredible!!!

Now they are joined as one and are ready to build a future together.

The weather wasn't really an impact on this day since both events were held indoors. But it was a beautiful autumn day nonetheless.

The church sanctuary was affirmed with their wedding pallet. The real flower arrangements were quite elegant. After the ceremony, the vendor collected all of the settings and reset them at the reception hall.

The reception hall is phenomenal. And the staff is Puerto great too. Multi-level with a bride suit upstairs, which has a lively view of the downtown square, and a groomsmen hangout downstairs, which has a bar area and pool table to keep the boys entertained.

The "First Look" kills me every time. Oh my goodness was the groom visibly emotional. She took his breath away. (He didn't pass out. It hasn't happened at one of my weddings...yet. I was really counting on him though.)

She was absolutely stunning. That dress was.... WOW! And her smile told him everything he needed to know. "This is right. We are right."

Ladies & Gentlemen, it is my pleasure to introduce the newest Mr. & Mrs. Cummings!

A beautiful sunny, cool day that just got better and better as the day went on.

The setting is an older, rustic red barn nestled in the southern Indiana cornfields. The ceremony held on the adjacent patio. The reception was within the building. The venue included a separate shed for beverage service.

The groom was a bundle of nerves. Anxious to get it done.

The bride.... oh my was she simply stunning!!! And her smile could light up a room.

Her son, the man, was all about this day. Super happy for mom.

Ladies & gentlemen, put your hands together for the Newest Mr. & Mrs. Gerkin!!!!

Congratulations!!!!

Love is in the air!

Or was that humidity? Wow this weather is oppressive. Hot & humid. The one saving grace was the breeze and the occasional cloud.

Beyond that, this day was amazing!

The venue was it top shape. A picturesque setting above the corn fields and nestled along a hilly tree line. Staffing was incredible.

This was a huge bridal party. Eight pairs of attendants to be exact, and they came to party! The bridesmaids were absolutely beautiful from their smiles to their satin dresses. The groomsmen were country boys thru-in-thru, that cleaned up pretty well. They were all there to support the couple of the day. The ladies tended to the bride's every need as well as helped with the final touches of the decorating. One thing to say about a country boy. They are resourceful and definitely "git after it".

The groomsmen wore blue jeans, cowboy boots, thick long sleeve western-wear shirts with bow ties. The groom had an additional layer beyond his mighty men to include a heavy sports coat.

The bride was absolutely breathtaking. Pair her beautiful smile with that stunning dress....Wow!

The ceremony, which took place under an old, ginormous tree, was complete with a Branding of Hide Unity and sealed with a kiss.

The reception was held at the barn on top of the hill. Food, fun, cake and dancing 'til 11:30!!!

Congratulations to the newest Mr. & Mrs. Clayton Wesner!!!!!

Who plans an outdoor wedding on the hottest day of the year?! Well it's probably not on purpose. It was rather warm (98° & humid). Especially for the bridal party as they "enjoyed" being in direct sunlight as well.

Having said that, it was an absolutely beautiful ceremony.
- The father-of-the-bride was all smiles as he escorted his youngest to altar.
- The bride, WOW, incredibly beautiful inside and out. And that dress.... phenomenal!!!
- The father-of-the-groom, who was honored to also hold the title of Officiant, performed the service flawlessly.
- The best man, aka older brother & father to the ring bearer, guarded the rings until he was asked to hand them to the bride & groom.
- And of course, the groom was all too eager to kiss the bride!

And then the two became one!!!

It didn't take much to usher the guests into the air-conditioning!

A few photos of the newlyweds and they were ready to celebrate with their families and friends. Inside...

Moments of laughter, tears of joy, stories of old times and best wishes for the future of these two were plentiful.

And then they danced. A. Lot!

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

Rehearsals are an evening of learning. There's a written plan to start, but often the vision is more clear when you're actually going through the steps. Wedding ceremonies are basically similar and uniquely different at the same time.

Meticulously detailed is an understatement when it comes to this bride. She researched, planned and poured her heart into every facet of this special day. And it was absolutely perfect!!!

This bridal party came together with one goal in mind and they performed magnificently! Everything from the "Will you please rise" to the "You may kiss your bride" this ceremony was beautiful and flawless.

Y'all, the wedding dress was absolutely gorgeous. Pure white, strapless with a modestly lengthy train. It fit her perfectly. Radiant doesn't come close to describing her.

If anyone was going to be uncontrollably emotional, my money was on the Father-of-the-Bride. You could see it on his face as he escorted his daughter to the alter. But he made it thru without a crackle in his voice when responding to the question "Who gives this bride?". (He may have shown a little more of his feelings during his speech.)

Melanie, first time officiant, was perfect for the role. She said all the right things and her delivery was calming. (I do have to share that during the rehearsal, she got a little tongue-tied and inadvertently blended the couple's names together. "Brad" and "Adeline" is now "Bradeline". Isn't that adorable?)

The reception was truly enjoyable as well. An abundance of food & beverage and tons of laughter. These guests came prepared to celebrate. The bridal party did not disappoint either.

Ladies & Gentlemen, It is my honor to present to you for the second time in history Mr. & Mrs. Brunes!
