Dear Readers;
We just got a letter left in our mailbox from the PECI Prom Committee. It was a lovely hand-written note which said"Thank you so much for allowing us to use your venue for our Prom. It was so beautiful and everyone had a great time. Thank you for being understanding and flexible with our last minute changes,it meant alot to our Prom Committee" Well, thank you to the Prom Committee for that thoughtful note - thats the sort of gesture which makes this all worthwhile for us.
....and since Tracy is a graduate of PECI I thought - why not throw these two items in together?
Saturday the 19th it was supposed to rain - in fact, the Weather Network was calling for an 80% chance of rain. Lynne and I thought of the last wedding we had done under the threat of rain and yet Tracy seemed completely convinced it wouldn't rain. Two hours before the wedding the location was set - and I must add that it really can't be just an hour before when this decision is made...there just isn't the time needed especially if decorating is involved. It was spitting while we set up and I covered our PA system to protect it from what looked like the inevitable...but...
it was so close to raining - umbrellas had been brought out as it sprinkled just a bit. OKay it didn't rain and the wedding went off without a hitch.
and after the wedding, guests headed up to the barn
The wedding party had made their own cocktail snacks - which looked great
And Jennifer, the head table was again on the stage accented with overlays made of the same materail as the bridesmaids dresses
Flowers were limited to just two hanging plants while decorations on the table were limited to a nice bowl sitting on a square of the same bridesmaid's dress material, filled with smooth gray rocks and a long burning candle. Very simple for sure.
but it worked! Even the signing table was simply but tastefuly done.
Cubbys out of Deseronto did a tasty roast beef dinner. Cubbys crew was very easy to get along with - we enjoyed working with them very much. Bob Green DJ'ed. Bobs 'Green Machine' is almost a County insitution - not that he has been around forever just that he has been just about every where in the County - and since this was one of the few County weddings we will be doing this year it was really good to see him here.
And that was about it - the feeling in the room was good - no one seemed to concerned about much of anything - it was one of those weddings where it seemed everyone was happy with the outcome...I should add a detail I didn't know before...in the part of her speech she read (versus having Tyler do it because she was too emotional) Tracy told the assembled that it had been 4 years ago in our barn when she had first proposed to Tyler...admiting that it was early days in their relationship, she also said she had had a drink or two - perhaps too many - but then somewhat wistfully she went on to observe what she had once heard - that what a drunk person says is just what a sober person is thinking....
And on that note, I believe Tracy and Tyler will live happily ever after - thank you both it was again an honour for us to be a part of it,
Sincerely; Lynne, Bethany, Kailey, Ellen, Mekenize Ron and Ez - oh and me.
