Man's Best Friend
OK, I know normally our blogs are focused on our couples, but this blog will start off a little different. Jimmy, our groom, is getting married to Lex, our bride, and Jimmy’s dog couldn’t be more excited for their big day. When the time came to line everyone up for the processional, Jimmy’s dog was up front, ready to go! I’m not sure the dog fully understood his directions because he obviously had a different plan.
As Jimmy made his way to the aisle, his dog realized that wait, I should be escorting him on the most important day of his life. The dog made a mad dash for Jimmy pulling his escort with him until he reached Jimmy. He then was happy making that walk down the aisle with Jimmy. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen.
Lex and Jimmy had such a beautiful day for their wedding. Mother Nature took care of them on May 28th. They chose to get married in front of the fountain with Edgewood Estate on their left and the Blue Ridge Mountains on their right. What a beautiful way to frame your ceremony.
One of my favorite details to their wedding was definitely their wedding cake. It was extra special because it was made by the brides Mom! Just look how beautiful it was with that floral arch above it. I’ve never seen that before but I’m definitely a fan of it. Way to go Mom!
Mom was not the only “personal” touch to this wedding. The bride’s uncle did the florals and the grooms friend was their officiant. What could be better than that to have all those important people in your lives play such a role on your wedding day?
I also like what they did for their guest book. Versus having the traditional book, Lex and Jimmy chose several bottles of Keswick Vineyards wines and put a sticker on each bottle that had which anniversary they would open that bottle. So, you had a 1 year, 5 years, etc. and each guest would sign with a metallic pen whichever bottle they chose. What a great way to relive your wedding day.
Lastly, what really makes a wedding a success is when you have the wedding couple on the dance floor. I don’t think I ever saw Jimmy not on the dance floorJ He definitely was the life of the party and partied with all his family and friends. It sure was hard not to get on the dance floor with all of them.
Thank you, Lex and Jimmy, for letting us be part of your wedding day. I can’t wait for you to come back and visit! And thank you to the following vendors:
