Audrey and Michael originally planned to get married on October 9, 2011 in my wedding garden. However, the wedding was postponed to January 14, 2012 because of a family medical issue. I suggested they contact Tracy Thorpe at
Second Empire to see if they could have their wedding there and it all worked out perfectly.
When Marty and I arrived on that crisp chilly morning, Tracy had the East Parlor all set up and ready. Tracy and I have worked together many times in the past and it is always a pleasure because she is so conscientious of all the details for a wedding.
Jessica Key was on hand to capture the wedding in photographs. We last did a wedding at the Matthews House last summer. Jessica is the owner of
Key Photography.
The Capital Room downstairs was ready for delicious dining and celebration!
When we were ready, the signal was given to Audrey and John (best man and bride's escort) to bring in the bride.
The wedding party outnumbered the guests! The guests of honor were their mothers. Their best friends, John and Mary Ann (married to each other), were the Matron of Honor and Best Man. Audrey's daughter, Cierra, was the pretty flower girl. Michael's two sons, Brandon and Brice, served as their father's groomsmen.
Cierra sneaks a quick glance at her mother!
Audrey glances over at her mother!
Each of the children poured in their sand then the couple blended their sand on top.
Vows and ring time.......
Pronouncement of marriage.....
The really fun part.....!
Audrey and Michael, husband and wife!
Let's go celebrate!
