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!

Me: "I noticed that your last name and the officiant's is the same. Is there a relation?"

Bride: "Yes, he's my big brother." ❤️

Me: "Is he a minister or internet ordained?"

Bride: "The Internet. Is that ok?"

Me: "Absolutely! I'm just trying to figure out what I have to work with."

And as a first time officiant, he did quite well. He even remembered to move out of the picture for the big kiss!

Rehearsal was a breeze. I try to make it light, enjoyable to reduce any anxiety associated with the special day. They soaked in the instructions, listened to the tips and had it down pat in no time.

For mid-August, you would expect heat & humidity. Well, Mother Nature certainly delivered on this wedding day! Wow was it oppressive! Upon conclusion of the ceremony, it did not take long for the guests to get out of the blazing sun and into the air-conditioned venue.

Speaking of the wedding dress, oh my, was it ever stunning!!! The bride simply beamed and her smile lit up the room.

The groom cleaned up nicely. He didn't smile much, but when he did, it was a genuine, at ease, ear-to-ear, grin. He was also incredibly respectful. He made it a deliberate point to find me, shake my hand and share appreciation for helping them.

They had a wonderful meal in a beautiful venue. The amazing staff took care of every need. Even the ones no one knew about. Very thoughtful, caring and prepared for the next micro-event in a very long day.

Without a doubt, this was a fun group! They celebrated with enthusiasm! The bride & groom visited and laughed with their families & guests and finished the night dancing 'til the very end.

Big sister & Matron of Honor was able to pull off a special spotlight dance for her baby sister. "I want you to play this song so that us siblings can have a moment with the bride." A very touching moment it was.

Ladies & Gentlemen, It is my pleasure to introduce Mr. & Mrs. Wagner!

It's a delight to witness a boy grow into an exceptional man.

It's even more heartwarming to know he's found a soul mate that compliments him.

She's absolutely beautiful, deeply loving and incredibly kind.

For a Thursday ceremony, their friends and family showed up for them. They are loved beyond measure.

Her youth minister performed the ceremony. They shared communion, exchanged rings and sealed it with a kiss!

Let's hear it for the Newest Mr. & Mrs. Manke!!!

The world gained another beautiful couple!

You'll not find a more gentle, kind, loving pair than these two souls. She has a heart of gold for children and he wants to share his love for sports to the youth of this community.

Rehearsal night was a hoot. We go into it with a plan on paper and polish it off with a few tweaks here and there to make it perfect. Their families and besties learned their roles quickly and they nailed it at the ceremony. Even dad remembered to hug his daughter before giving the groom his blessing.

The reception was a blast! These people came to celebrate!! From the Grand Entrance to the Grand Exit they never stopped.

And oh my, was the bride absolutely stunning. The bestman wasn't wrong when he said she looked amazing!

It truly was an awesome day filled with an abundance of love, laughter & celebration. Can't wait to see the photos!

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

Thank you for allowing me be a part of your special day!

They had their ceremony at 6:26 on 6/26 in the year of twenty twenty-six! How cool is that?!?!

It was an intimate ceremony and a private reception with family. I had the opportunity to see some of the photos from the big day. It looked amazing!

Today, 22 days after, they invited their friends to celebrate their union.

They dawned their martial clothes a second time just so that their people could get the complete experience. While the photos from the ceremony were absolutely amazing, seeing her in her gown paints an even more beautiful picture. They glowed with joy and peace. After all the ceremony was three weeks ago. Now they can focus on their guests.

They ate dinner again.
They were toasted by their besties again.
They cut the wedding cookie again. (But this time he fed her and then himself!)
They had their Couple's First Dance again.

Was this day any less special than before? Not to them nor their guests. They had a blast.

Congratulations to the Newlyweds Mr. & Mrs. Stolz!!!

Simply a beautiful summer afternoon to have a wedding!!!

Mother Nature was kind enough to hold off showering us with her love. It had rained earlier in the day and threatened to within hours of the ceremony, but we were as dry as we could be dispite the humidity.

All weddings have the same basic structure with variations to make it unique to the couple. There's a processional, the giving of the bride, a Unity Ceremony, the "I Dos", the ring exchange, an epic kiss and finally a recessional.

This one included a very touching moment just before the Bride's March. As a surprise to the Groom, a recording of the Bride and their very young son brought the Groom to tears. The groom, filled with emotions, had to turn away briefly to compose himself. I don't think there was a dry eye around.

The first time officiant, and probably only time officiant, was more anxious than the bride & groom. (He rehearsed a bunch. Even practiced with his dogs a time or two.) He should be proud of himself as he did a mighty fine & respectable job.

The reception was a blast. These folks know exactly how to celebrate! Dinner, dessert, toasts laughter and dancing.

The night ended with a newlywed's sharing private dance. No one in the venue. No flashy lights. Just a moment to breath and be one with each other.

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

Mother nature wasn't missing out on this one!

In moments like this, you have to ask yourself, "At the end of the day, what is important?" And the answer is "We're married!"

We watched the radar off-and-on all day. At times it looked encouraging and at other times.... we were thankful to have rehearsed indoors.

Having said that, thirty minutes out the radar indicated the rain was holding to the north. It wasn't looking all that inviting outside though.

Guests started arriving. Mostly gathering inside the Hall in anticipation of an indoor ceremony.

Fifteen minutes out. "Ladies & Gentlemen, we are going to have an outdoor ceremony. Please make your way to the pavilion veranda."

Twelve minutes out. Speaking with the bride, "It's starting to sprinkle. What would you like to do?" She responded with a little trepidation "How hard?". I answered, "Not bad. It just started." Her eyes lit up, "Let's go!"

"Ladies & Gentlemen, we're having and outdoor ceremony and it's happening right now! Please find a seat, stay under the building awning or get out of the way!"

It was an exciting moment. Like hearding cats.... on a bathtub.

"Bridal party line up."
"Guests, we're coming right through here."

Queue the music and send the grandmother's!

Now, it didn't rain hard. Just enough to want an umbrella. And most that braved the elements had one. From the back, it was a sea of colorful covers. The bride & groom's besties held umbrellas over them the entire ceremony.

The first time officiant, who did a wonderful job despite the minor annoying precipitation, still managed to deliver a beautiful, spiritual ceremony. He even remembered to get out of the way of the first kiss!

On to the celebration.... INDOORS!!!

It didn't take long for the guests to make their way inside.

The plan was for the newlyweds to have a private dance under the pavilion after the guests left the ceremony. This is where the Live Wedding Painting Artist was to get her inspiration for the canvas. Well, the private dance was held under the Porte-cochère. (That's fancy for carport.) And the artist created a masterpiece blending the two images of the couple and the pavilion.

The guests were troopers! Not only did they stay for the ceremony, they stayed for the reception too! (Honestly, it didn't take long to dry out. We weren't soaked by any means.)

The Grand Entrance was really the first non-caotic moment everyone had the opportunity to gaze upon the bride and that stunning dress. This woman, unfazed by the weather, beamed with joy which made her even more breathtaking.

Tons of laughter, visiting, dining & dancing! The bride & groom were happy and incredibly thankful.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you Mr. & Mrs. Mead!!!

Oh what an amazing mid-June day for an outdoor wedding ceremony. The sky, peppered with white puffy clouds and accompanied with a brilliant sun offered a beautiful warm backdrop to this divine union.

If you know the bride, you know she's thought about it, she has a vision and she is pretty particular about sticking to it.

The meticulous details she provided (with example photos) for the wedding cake, the hors d'oeuvres table, table arrangements, etc made it easy for her crew to deliver the final showpiece.

The ceremony was no different. This is how she saw it and her people made it happen.

The bridal party, the ones standing with the bride & groom, were almost entirely related to the bride. With four sisters, a sister-in-love and two brothers this makes for a large enterage. Throw in a best man and an officiant, well, now it's a party.

If there ever was a picture of "stunning", it would be of the bride & her wedding dress. WOW. Just WOW. She, as well as her striking sisters, come from a long line of beautiful women and they represented well.

The groom..... dang that's a good looking dude. He and his bride definitely make for a power couple.

A few ceremonial details worth mentioning.

Since everyone was practically related, there were a ton of hugs shared. Grandsons hugged grandparents after escorting then to their seats. Sons hugged mothers. Groom bro-hugged his men before taking his stance at the altar. Dad hugged his first born daughter on her last moment of being single. Groom hugged his very near future father-in-law.

The mothers had the honor of carrying the rings. When the officiant called for them, the respective mother rose and approached their child, gave a short heartfelt embrace (another hug!) and presented the ring.

After a kiss, and an introduction the two were joined as one!

The celebration to follow was pretty epic too! An abundance of laughter, a few more hugs and a whole lot of dancing!!!

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

If a story could write itself....

They were a couple of smitten-kittens from first sight and everyone knew they would be together forever.

There's always a plan as to how the ceremony should go. Usually a written script noting the highlights. Which is accompanied by the bride's dream that just can't be developed until you're actually in the middle of it. This is why rehearsals are important.

This rehearsal was a blast. Wow did they have a huge wedding party! They stretched wall-to-wall in this picturesque barn. (Twenty in total!) A couple of run-throughs and they are ready for the big show!

On to the ceremony!

It! Was!! Perfection!!!

The Mother of the Bride was escorted in by the Bride's little brother.

The Mother of the Groom was escorted in by the Father of the Groom.

The Groom enters with the Officiant. The groom stopped to hug mom before taking his place at the altar.

The wedding party makes their way down the aisle in pairs. Each of the Groomsmen paused to give the groom a little love before taking their post. The bridesmaids were one lovely vision after another. The groomsmen...meh. If you like tall & handsome, they're ok.

The adorable and bashful Ring Bearer (3-4 years old) steps into the barn. The doors close behind him. He makes his way down to dad sitting in the second row. He was awesome!

Everyone is in place. The groom prepares himself for The First Look and bows his head.

"Will you please rise?" requested their camp pastor, friend and first time officiant.

The doors open to reveal the stunning bride and her father. Absolutely angelic. The bride too.

The Best Man, and more mature brother, tapped the groom on the shoulder. Oh my! What a breathtaking moment that mere words cannot express!

Thr bride and father make it down the aisle for the exchange. Dad survived giving away his first daughter!

Their service included a Unity Ceremony of Communion. While they observed the elements, the other Best Man, Alex and his wife Claire. (I just love than name!) provided live music. They were obviously quite accomplished by themselves. But when the guests joined in and sang with them, to include the bride and groom, that was special.

AND THEN THE TWO BECAME ONE!!!

This was an amazing day!!!

The venue was in tip-top shape and the staff was on point. Things were asked of them and they provided. Things that were not asked, but necessary, they took care of business. They are well seasoned professionals

The dining service was efficient as well as bussing the tables. The meal was excellent too!

The celebration was over the top!!! Their family and guests were incredible. They showed up in numbers and were there for them.

Ladies & Gentlemen, may I present to you, for the third time in history, Mr. & Mrs. Sanford!!!!

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!!!!
