Plan B Better Than Plan A? It Could Be!
Taylor and Nick were married at Keswick Vineyards on Friday, August 2, 2024. In their wedding planning, they decided to have a first look so they could get all their photos done before the ceremony. This way, they could join the cocktail hour immediately after the ceremony.
Even though they buried a bottle of bourbon to ward off rain, Mother Nature decided to add a little moisture to their wedding day right at the scheduled time of their ceremony. Thankfully, Keswick Vineyards is a flexible venue and quickly adapted to the situation.
Guests were welcomed under the reception tent when they arrived and were served cocktails and some food. Because Taylor and Nick had already seen each other, they were able to join their guests for this pre-ceremony cocktail hour. Guests loved arriving at a wedding and immediately being served a drink—no complaints there! After about an hour's delay, the ceremony took place outside as originally planned. The only difference was they had the cocktail hour first, then the ceremony, and finally the reception.
The couple still felt that the buried bourbon helped with the weather because the little bit of rain lowered the temperature and made everything more pleasant. So, all in all, it was a win-win!
One of the most important things Taylor insisted on was switching out Keswick Vineyards' dance floor for a black and white one. And I can see why. For their first dance, they had all their guests surround them, and they dazzled everyone with their dance. Just look at the fun everyone was having!
At the end of the night, Taylor and Nick still had their dream wedding and might agree that Plan B was indeed better than Plan A!
