Garden wedding

Last weekend our friends Sheila and Randy were married in a beautiful backyard wedding. Another friend of ours, Jeff, officiated. It was the perfect day for an outdoor wedding. Everything was absolutely gorgeous and perfect. We started out by parking at a horse stable and waiting for the shuttle van to take our group to the house. They served mimosas while we waited. Our van driver pointed out the estate owned by the professor from Gilligan's Island. All of us old people were amused.

When we arrived we signed a mat inside a frame that 
held a photo of the couple in the middle. 

Sean took most of the pictures, and we didn't get a good one of the beautiful flower arch they stood under as they were married. The view was incredible as well. Water and mountains.

Here's Sheila making her way to the various tables at the reception.
She was so beautiful. They both looked so happy.

The theme for the reception was travel. Sheila and Randy have been all over the world, and each table was decorated with photos of their travels and items from that country.

Our centerpiece showed pictures of Italy.

There were a few other kids there and Sean made friends with them right away.

We were quite surprised that the boys were dressed
so much alike. It looks like two moms got together
and planned the outfits.

Loved the idea of a cupcake wedding cake. The top was theirs and had a replica of the Eifel Tower as the topper. The cupcakes were so delicious! I had strawberry, Chuck got orange, and some of our friends had chocolate.

It's hard to see the details in this photo, but the cupcake cake was
really pretty. They were so pretty it was hard to choose just one.

It was a beautiful wedding and reception.
