Lindsey's Wedding: Round Three

Round Three is all about the details.  Forgive the bad photography.

Centerpieces

More shepherd hooks lining the dance floor

(Yes, I almost burned myself more than once.)

Fantastic Band

Bouquet Toss ("I was aiming right for you!!")

We ate barbecue, drank beer out of our favors: monogramed koozies, and danced to a fantastic country band.  (That is saying a lot, from me!)  Members of the bridal party spent the night outside, drinking moonshine.  (I was way too afraid to try it!)  Thank you Lindsey and Chris for showing this military brat how it's done in south Georgia!

Tell me about your favorite real wedding!

Lindsey's Wedding: Round Two

So you already heard about Jess's decoration stealing techniques... But what about the rest of Lindsey's wedding?  I want to share with you my absolute favorite part of the day, entitled:

How to Leave Your Wedding in a Bass Boat

Yeah, that's a Georgia blanket.  What did you think her theme was??

We all stood around, in the hot sun, while all of the pictures of the bridal party and families were taken inside the church.  What were we waiting for, you ask?  No one wanted to miss watching a bride climb into a Georgia Bass Boat.  No one.  Consider the cocktail hour skipped.

"How do I get in?"  and  "I guess I'll kick off my shoes, hike up my skirt, and DO this!"

Chris helps get those shoes back on, and the couple poses for some memorable pictures

Younger Brother at the Wheel (Someone has to pull the boat!!)  and  The Happy Couple Waves Goodbye

And you thought your get-away plans were creative!  Let me know if you can top this!

Congratulations Lindsey & Chris!

Light night I attended the wedding of Lindsey and Chris!  Congratulations to you both!!  It was so fantastic to see Lindsey so happy all night long.  And the trip to Cuthbert, GA was definitely one to remember.

I will have more pictures this week, but for now I must share a short story.

The car ride from the hotel to the reception included myself, Ryan, Jess, her husband Billy, and my boss (Dr. C).  (As a side note, Dr. C was causing trouble all night long and was a blast!!)  Either way, as we were standing outside after the ceremony waiting for the big exit, Jess kept admiring the flower pomanders hanging along the entry way on shepherds hooks.  (See picture above for example.)  Dr. C kept encouraging her to 'steal' one after everyone else left.  I think the rationale was, "They are going to die anyway."

So this is forgotten until we are sitting at a gas station making a pit stop before heading to the reception.  Jess realizes that she forgot to steal the pomanders, so we drive back by the church so she can get them.  As we are turning the car around after her capture, she realizes the flowers are fake.  Determining fake flower pomanders will not die, and therefore might be reused, everyone decides they must be returned to the church.  However, Jess somehow decides Dr. C should throw them out her window onto the church lawn as we drive back by.  Both of the boys, as well as Jess and Dr. C found this absolutely hysterical.  I was the only one who thought it was sad to be so reckless with someone's (already used) wedding decorations!!!  What if she wants to save them forever???

And then I realized- I am a huge wedding geek.  I need to lighten up!!!  This wedding planning stuff is definitely getting to my head.

PS: Happy Father's Day!
