The way it happened.

Friday morning (June 11th)arrived bright and early. Manda, Lonna, Ann and myself went to the Horizon Ridge clubhouse first thing to set up for the ceremony, while Tam tried to catch a little more shuteye. Of course the decorating took longer than planned, but at least it looked nice. :D So after setting out the chairs, lamps, trees with tulle/lights, aisle with petals, cake table, guestbook table and all that jazz we returned to the Prices about an hour off of our original course. Finishing up a rushed breakfast we gathered everything together and loaded up the van. We were to be at Amy Mill's for hair and makeup at 1:00pm, it was now about 1:30 and Kathryn Hart was to meet us there to curl/fix Tam's hair. So late we were, but we got right down to business, hair was fixed, makeup on, clothing and shoes all around, the guys had their ties and boutonnieres, the parents were also gathered and on to the pictures. We had at first allotted about 2 hours to photos but with running late we had to cut it to 45-60 minutes. We walked over to the building, since Amy lives in the same complex (if that's the right was to say it). As the guests were arriving we took a few shots in front of the clubhouse until our appointed starting time, but it turns out we couldn't start on time anyhow because Larry B. had to go pick up more people (there hadn't been enough room in the first car load) so we took about 30 minutes more of photos and proceeded with the ceremony. What to say about the ceremony..it was lovely..beautiful, the music was awesome..only complaint was having to stand in the aisle for over a minute so D. could take a picture. After the ceremony we then went across to a big treed lawn to take still more pictures of all types of groupings. While we the bridal party and family was doing that, all the wonderful ladies were hard at work setting up for the reception by preparing food and decorating the tables. The receptions was also very nice, toasts, pictures, cake etc. it all went swimmingly. The bride and groom took off at about 9 or 9:30 pm, cleanup started then a bunch of us went over to the B's to continue visiting, then off to bed. That was the day of the wedding and I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to get something up about it. :)
