3rd June Wedding

June just flew by. It's hard to juggle a job, family and three weddings in one month. So it was a busy month and it is nice to have a few weekends off this summer. What I like about weddings is helping a bride with her day. Sometimes thinking about working as many weddings as I did that month sounds a bit stressful and thinking about it was more stressful than any of the actual wedding days were. Once I drive up to the venue and meet the bride, it energizes me. This wedding was particually energizing because of the bride, Brittany. She has a vivacous personality and you can tell she loves life. One thing that was particualarly important to this couple was dancing...and that they did! They did more line dances than I have ever seen at any wedding. They sure looked like they were having fun. This wedding took place at the Lone Oak Ranch.

This time I'm including some of the music they used in the wedding and reception:
Seating of the Grandparents and Parents...She's Like Texas
Wedding Party...Marry Me
Bridal Entrance...A Thousand Years

Here is Brittany and Jay's engagement picture

The bridesmaids took some pictures before they got dressed. They all had matching shirts, jean shorts and cowboy boots. Cute!

Ceremony in the chapel. This chapel was built in the 1800's so there is no insulation. It was hard to keep it cool in there in June. So...its was a little warm, but not too bad  

 

The Officiant that did this wedding is attending Liberty University online. Of course that is special to me since I graduated from Liberty University. Not many people here in Texas know where Liberty is or what it is, so that was fun

 

 

I snapped a pic just as they were coming out of the chapel during the recessional. Just Married!

Their recessional song was Til My Last Day

 

Here is Brittany and I taking a "selfie" in the golf cart while going to take pictures

 

This is the cake table. They were not that big into cake, so they had a small cake and a few sheet cakes

Entering the reception as Mr. and Mrs to the song Bring Em Out

 

First dance to...Wanted

 

Song for cake cutting...How Sweet it Is

 

The long toast by the best man. Eveyone cheered when he was finished. It was funny

 

Guest bench...very practical. I thought this was a cute idea. Guests sign it and they use it at their house. Very memorable

 

 

Dancing insued into the night and early morning. In this picture you can see the couple dancing with their guests, some sort of line dance
