Spring time in a Small Town...

What comes to mind when you think of Spring....

Maybe beautiful blooming tulips...

or how about birds chirping and green grass...

or how about a sleet storm, turned rain, and then snow...

No, not really what you were thinking? Well that is exactly what Mother Nature brought our sleepy little town this afternoon, me and Mother Nature would get along great...I love her sense of humor!

And after all that icky white stuff she brought us this...

Fog, and lots of it...

A peek of Main street standing outside the front of my store...

This was to fun to sit and enjoy inside so I closed up shop and went zipping around town snapping photo's...yeah I was the crazy "tourist" looking person with camera in hand stopping off the side of the road...

The old "Glade" house...so much history in these walls, if they could only talk...this house is one of the oldest houses in our town still standing...my father owned it at one time and sold it back to the family of the original owners...he says the fog makes it look creepy, I like to use the word mysterious...

I've been working on some new items for Spring so stop by my boutique and check things out, I will post pictures as soon as I get more time:) Thanks everyone!

Candis & Hyrum's Bridals

I took these about a month ago but promised the Bride I wouldn't post them until after the wedding...these are a few of my favorites...

White linens, Spring flowers, & a Happy Couple!

The day started out with a fulfilling dinner with friends & family...

The Fillmore's worked there tails off to put on a wonderful spring time lunch for 300 guests
Following the lunch was the ceremony...

Short & Sweet! It was beautiful, don't get me wrong, that is the way EVERY ceremony should be...short & sweet!

We managed to squeeze in a little time for pictures...she should have alot of cute ones to choose from seeing how she hired only 1 photographer but she ended up with about 4...

And some where between "I Do" and getting things ready for the reception we managed to squeeze in a little game of Skinny Bird & Ride Ride Ride that Pony...

I think at about this time the Bride's in-laws were wondering what the heck their son had married into...what can I say, we can turn anything into a good time!

The reception was wonderful...They are so lucky to have such supportive friends & family it was a great turn out...thanks to everyone who made an effort to come and show your support!

And you can't have a good 'ole fashion Wayne County wedding with out that darn tradition that has been going on since our Grand-fathers time...

If your not familiar with the tradition (this usually is where the unknowing bride gets VERY angry) it goes a little something like this....5 minutes until the reception is over, the groom is getting very nervous, not because he just realized he's no longer a single bachelor, but because his buddies, brothers, uncles, & cousin's are now surrounding him...
why you ask, well the groom is about to take a short ride to the nearest river, pond, lake, or canal...and is about to get thrown in by all of these loving men, some go willingly, some crawl out of church windows to get away, and some run for blocks, but I can guarantee they will get the groom in that water, it's all in fun and most grooms feel bad if their buddies didn't care enough to show up for this hilarious tradition!

on that note it was a wonderful wedding...and was our last wedding in the Brown family (tear)

thanks again to everyone that helped to make this event one to remember!
