Bury the Bourbon???
What’s this, you’ve never heard of the Southern tradition of burying the bourbon for your wedding?
Well, let me explain.
It is an old Southern tradition that a wedding couple should bury a bottle of bourbon, upside down, on the property they are getting married at exactly one month before their wedding date to ward off any bad weather. Does it work? In our experience, absolutely! For every couple that has buried a bottle of bourbon at Keswick Vineyards it hasn’t rained for their ceremony. That’s a pretty good record going on our 13th year!
Brittany and Brennan were no exception. On Friday, April 15th, these two tied the knot at Keswick Vineyards to one of those perfect Spring wedding days that we all wish for. Brittany and Brennan live in New York and were not able to bury their bourbon themselves, so they sent one of their friends to do the honors. It was so sweet to have that friend there as they unearthed it. Thank you Southern tradition for working your magic once again!
As I mentioned, Brittany and Brennan were blessed with such a beautiful day. Adding to their ceremony beauty in front of the iconic Keswick Vineyards fountain were some of the most beautiful Spring floral arrangements. Just look how beautiful the aisle was lined with these florals.
One of the most memorable moments of the night had to be when Brittany surprised Brennan with a dance along with her bridesmaids. You definitely could tell they were all former cheerleaders with those precise moves! The crowd just loved the show! Speaking of shows, Beauty and the Beast holds a very special meaning to this couple. Lets just say they live in New York and are actors, you fill in the rest. Any ways, what better song could be played but Tale As Old As Time as Brittany made her way to the alter. You can’t write a script any better than what was written this day for the two of them. It was an honor to be their planner and I wish them a fairytale life together.
