"Marry" Christmas

Okay, I'm not that smart to come up with that title. I totally stole it from the Lifetime movie D and I watched last night. And guess what it was about? A mother/daughter team who are wedding planners! How cool is that? I loved it but I love sappy Lifetime Christmas movies. And weddings. And, speaking of weddings, (how's that for a bad transition), our wedding this weekend were beautiful and fabulous.
In Hiawassee, we were in for a full day and night of wedding festivities with this fabulous young couple. You know, this is a major perk of our job - getting to meet the coolest people whom we otherwise wouldn’t have met. These two are just precious and their wedding was, well, perfection.

Funny story about this wedding, though. All day things had gone like clockwork with only a few very minor hiccups which honestly, isn’t unusual. It is not uncommon for something to go a little off track but not this one, not a hitch (no pun intended!) . . . until the exit. The plan was for the couple to exit through a hallway and out into the parking lot where their guests would line the walls waving streamers with jingle bells attached over head as they walked right onto a horse-drawn carriage that would take them off into the moonlight. Perfect plan. Okay, so everyone is in place - guests, photographer, videographer - here we go. As soon as they get to the carriage . . . the. horse. bolts! Runs like the wind. We all stood there stunned not knowing whether to laugh or cry. So we all look at the bride (who you always look to for your emotional que if you know what I mean) and she cracks up! Whew! So, in a few minutes, after the horse with carriage and driver in tow has taken a few laps around the parking lot, the bride and groom successfully make their exit! These pictures are before and after the run for the roses!
