Katie and Chris chose the lovely Raleigh Rose Garden for their wedding on September 12th at 11:30 AM. I think Chris was one of the most involved bridegrooms I have ever worked with. He even made his own boutonniere! His brother, Mike, was his best man and did a reading from the Velveteen Rabbit. Having gotten married only 3 years ago, Mike was full of good advice for Chris as we stood waiting to enter the ceremony!
Here comes the bride! Katie's original plan was to walk in by herself and have Chris meet her halfway down the aisle and they would walk together the last part of the aisle. At the last minute she decided she wanted her father to walk her down the aisle. That is Katie's aunt, Darla, straightening her train. Darla also served as the wedding director and her husband, Andy, operated the battery powered sound system for the music they had selected and put on a CD.
Katie's sisters, Amber and Scottie, served as her co-maids of honor. Scottie read a poem called "It Seems Wherever We Go" and Amber read "To my Friend" by Roy Croft. We were all proud of them for doing such a great job!
The pronouncement of marriage! They were so happy for that moment in the ceremony which is followed by the KISS!
The deed is done! They are now Mr. and Mrs. and so happy!
By the time the ceremony was over, it was high noon and the temperature was soaring. We ducked into the shelter at the garden to take some photos in the shade. Katie and Chris, congratulations! I wish you all the best forever!Our photographer was Heather of Heather Swanner Photography. Heather and I had met at a networking luncheon a few months before but this was the first wedding we had together. I can't wait to see her pictures!
