Stephanie and Jay Wed at Angus Barn Pavilions!

When Marty and I arrived at The Pavilions at Angus Barn on Saturday April 19, 2014 for Stephanie and Jay's wedding, it was threatening rain, chilly and windy. The call was made to move the ceremony indoors. No problem at this venue! It is gorgeous outside and inside.
So, Kelly Joslin and her staff at Angus Barn had transformed the interior of The Pavilion into a beautiful ceremony space. Nearly 200 chairs curved around the huge stone fireplace.
 The tables were pushed to the sides and after the ceremony were pulled back into the room and the chairs placed around them. 
 The ceiling was filled with white lights and the chandeliers hung with sparkling cascades of beading.
The stone hearth was decorated with candles and beautiful white lilies. In the middle was a bench with the sand ceremony set up. Florals were by A Watered Garden
The cake by Sugarland was ready! 
Andrea Blanchfield, our harpist, was set up and warming up.
Great food! 
They displayed photos of their loved ones who had passed on. 
Behind the chairs was the stage and the band was being set up.

Our beautiful bride was escorted in by her son, Josh. 
They made their way down the aisle to a beaming Jay! 
We opened with a warm welcome to all and a prayer.
Stephanie took Josh's hand right before the children's blessing.
Telling Josh how loved and important he is!
Then it was time to tell their story of how they met, fell in love and decided to marry.
Yes, Stephanie and Jay's fun loving natures really came out during the ceremony as it was peppered with lots of laughter. The guests had a great time!
Jay's father, Jim, was his best man. Looks like he is enjoying the ceremony as well. 
Then it was time for the vows and the rings..
Then the pouring of the sand.......
Before the pronouncement I asked the couple to look around at all their loved ones who had gathered in their honor. 
The pronouncement......
Ha ha! Look at Josh covering his face for that "mushy stuff!" The KISS! 
After the ceremony we went outside for some photos. Josh quickly found this big rock to climb onto! He is such a cutie! Our photographers were Laura Simson and her second shooter Rebecca of Captured Moments Photography.
Stephanie, Jay and Josh, what a fabulous family you all are! It was my honor to join you together in marriage. I wish for you only the best life can offer!
