A Red White and Blue Wedding
Posted on September 28th, 2009 by Margaret. Filed under Real Weddings.
Christina, the lovely bride, emailed me the photos from her absolutely awe-inspiring red, white, and blue wedding. The wedding was held on July 4th at the groom’s family farm in Sturgis, Michigan. The images were masterly captured by JK Photography…
Here are a few words from the lovely bride herself…
We have been together for 8 1/2 years (since our sophomore year in high school) and our dream wedding came true. We did a lot of DIY projects including the invitations, programs, menus, table assignment cards, signs, card box (stump), table numbers, coloring books for the kids, and a lemonade stand.
The reception was absolutely beautiful. Riverside receptions has a river running on two sides of it and 2 breathtaking waterfalls in the landscaping. The guests mingled while they waited for the wedding party to arrive. Our cakes were modeled after our attire! The table numbers were important years in US History, we explained what happened in each year on table tents. Our card box was actually a card stump that Tim hollowed out and we hung our new initials on the front. We also took dance lessons and performed a waltz for our first dance, it was definitely worth the time and effort. The favors, Strawberry - Rhubarb Jam, were made by Tim’s Great Aunt Helen.
I really hope our wedding can help or inspire other brides!

“The home which can be bright white?” The NEA is actually a purveyor of leftist expression.

Hey people!!! Happy Thanksgiving!. !!
:)

Thanksgiving is 1 of my favorite holidays, and each year I like to get into the mood-extend the holiday, since it were-by reading “Thanksgiving novels.” Of course, most of these stories are mostly about family and friends, about coming together to heal old hurts and giving them thanks for the gift of love. … .. ”

Good website! I truly love how it is easy on my eyes it is. I’m wondering how I could be notified when a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your RSS which may do the trick? Have a great day!

I must show some thanks to you just for bailing me out of this crisis. Just after exploring through the online world and seeing notions which are not pleasant, I assumed my entire life was over. Living without the solutions to the problems you’ve solved all through your entire post is a critical case, and the ones that would have in a negative way damaged my career if I had not noticed your blog. Your actual mastery and kindness in controlling every aspect was vital. I don’t know what I would have done if I had not encountered such a point like this. It’s possible to at this point look ahead to my future. Thanks for your time so much for your skilled and amazing help. I will not hesitate to recommend the blog to anybody who wants and needs counselling about this subject.
