Long Awaited Leah and Brian Wedding Part II

Okay, when we left off we had just gotten to the beautiful Claxton Farm. The girls got ready in this tiny cottage-like shed. I wish I had pictures of it, but sadly no. To look at this thing, you’d never believe that we fit Leah, Leah’s Mom, four bridesmaids and two guest book ladies in it, but we did!

Meanwhile, Brian and the gentlemen got ready:

Doesn’t he look dapper? Here’s what the ladies looked like:

Leah did a beautiful job picking out the dresses, no? Of course the bride herself looked amazing.

The ceremony was so beautiful, with a special recognition for the parents, a song from the brother of the bride, and Leah and Brian wrote their own vows which was really special.

After the ceremony I got to sign the marriage license. I don’t think we had witnesses at our wedding, maybe this is because we were married in Virginia, or maybe it’s because we aren’t really married, who knows?

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. and Mrs. McGrath!

One of the super nice things about the wedding was that there was all this space to play games and frolic…

Another nice thing was that there was pie!

Doesn’t Leah look just like Suzie Homemaker??! I will say that while Leah didn’t make these pies, she does make a delicious pie.

Guests got to choose from blueberry, strawberry/rhubarb, and mixed berry. Brian enjoyed his.

And then there was dancing!

Leah and her dad…

I’ll say it again, her dress was amazing!

And Brian and his Mom…

So that was the wedding. We had a great time. Hopefully I’ll get more adventures up on the blog soon. Happy spring!
