OH MY GOSH this was quite a day... mike and ashley got together around the time my boy was born, known each other for years before that....i have never seen mike so happy, and she is amazing- almost surreally so....
the wedding was at a beautiful gardens/inn place south of town and it felt almost detached from daily life. it was like a spread from a victoria magazine with everyone in pretty dresses, especially the little girls, and many wearing floppy garden hats....we had an umbrella to keep the heat off the kids.
it was a pretty short ceremony led by their long-time friend/co-worker, music provided by a victrola. dinner followed on the wrap-around porch of the inn with fans overhead....southern fried chicken, collard greens, corn cobs and mac-n-cheese! lemonade and sweet tea to drink - and let me tell you, i have never had or been interested in collard greens - but these were so incredibly good i must get the recipe....
the cake was red velvet - never had that either and i am telling you it was dreamy! cream frosting, side of mousse with fresh berries....and to top it off ---a's dad picked enough strawberries wednesday to make jars of fresh "kohlerberry" jam for everyone....
the whole thing was so sweet - the girls playing in their organza by the pool that looked like a garden koi pond - trees and flowers blooming everywhere - a's dad in suspenders, and the old inn with gorgeous wooden floors and antiques...
honestly, it was the most beautiful wedding ever. and very small - which made it even more personal and very intimate. awesome, ash!!!! (oh, yeah, the bride "fell" into said pool while cooling with her best friend) go see the pictures in my web album!
