Wedding Highlights

We spent the weekend bouncing around from one venue to the next for my little sister's wedding. It was a beautiful fall wedding, with perfect weather. The entire ordeal was decidedly country and I loved it.

I loved that my sister wore my Grandmothers wedding dress (the one my mom also used.) The thought never crossed my mind because I never would have fit into it. She had the cutest little birdcage veil and a simple pair of pearl earrings and a bracelet. And what kind of wanna be cowgirl would wear anything but a new pair of boots on her wedding day?A sunny fall day was perfect for kids to play and run and jump during all the picture taking. Later a horse drawn carriage wisked the wedded couple down golden tree lined streets to their wedding luncheon. It wasn't part of a paid off fairytale ending, it was the groom's actual team and carriage.
The week before while we were in Burley, Hudson loved helping with the barn facade for the backdrop. His job was to pull out nails and he took his job quite seriously. "Where is Bentley? I could sure use his help." It took an entire day and small village to transform the cultural hall for the reception, but it looked great.One tough critic gave the cinnamon rolls and chocolate milk refreshments his stamp of approval.
There was a dance following the reception. Besides a sweet first dance accompanied by my BIL's singing talent, the best part was when cousins and friends flooded the dance floor to perform Hannah Montana's Hoe Down Throw Down.

Overall it was a great weekend for a fun couple that has just begun their life together.
