The wedding was on the ranch of a mutual friend in San Ramon. Laura & Robert are simple and the wedding fit them completely. It was beautifully done. I think it could have been a picture in a magazine. It was not overdone and it was gorgeous. And her dress! She found it at some sort of vintage/thrift store. I saw it before it was altered. It had the full lace up to the neck and all the way down the arms. But how it turned out was better than I can imagine.
They had popcorn (In little lace doily things) and water for us while we waited for the ceremony to start. The ceremony took place in the barn. The bridesmaids wore simple dresses that were similar but all unique and cowboy boots. The ceremony was beautiful.
After the ceremony, the wedding party went off to take pictures. People moved all of the chairs to the tables that were set-up outside. On the tables were lots of jars and candles. In some of the jars were some black & white pictures of the weddings of some of the guests (Justin & I were on it!). They had chicken wings, a veggie tray and Artichoke/Jalapeno dip for an appetizer. There were mason jars with a strip of black paint on them. We wrote our names on our cups with Chalk and these were our favors too! They had water, lemonade and ice tea to drink. They also had ice cream floats during this time that included a root beer keg. It was so cute!
They had a photo area for the guests with props. You signed the guest book and took a picture that would go in next to your signature later. It was fun.
Dinner was hamburgers, mac & Cheese, sweet potato fries and salad. There was a full topping bar including grilled onions and some other interesting toppings for your hamburger. It was great!
After dinner and the first dances, their line dance instructor taught us a few line dances. I had so much fun- I forgot about all the pain I have been in the last couple of months. It was so nice to just let loose and relax.
