An October Wedding

A couple of weekends ago Jason officiated the wedding of one of his cousins. 

It was a gorgeous fall day, and the venue was a beautiful farm.

The ceremony took place under this huge tree. I really loved the birdcages and purple flowers.

The reception was in this building. It was like a big screened in porch!

The flower girl dresses were so cute. I love the big skirt and the purple!

They held cocktail hour next to this lake. It was especially beautiful as the sun was setting.
Congratulations to the newlyweds!

Charles's Wedding: The Reception

After Charles and MC officially became husband and wife, we took a bunch of pictures outside. I was only able to get a couple of pictures since we had to be in some of them!

After pictures we headed to the reception. It was in the fellowship hall of the church where the rehearsal dinner had been.

The Groom's Cake was a converse shoe

We ate some yummy food and mingled until it was time to cut the cake!

Right before they had cake all over their faces!

After more pictures, more mingling, the bouquet toss, and the garter toss, it was time for the bubbly exit!

Then, they were off to their honeymoon!

Congratulations Charles and MC!

Charles's Wedding: The Ceremony

The ceremony was set to start at 2 pm, so around 1:30 we headed into the church to get seated.

The ceremony started with some friends of Charles and MC singing a few songs. Then the mothers came in to light the unity candles.

Then the processional started. Our cousin started the song on the piano, and Charles and the pastor came out.

Charles's Wedding: Before the Ceremony

I have a lot of pictures from Charles and MC's wedding, so I'm going to break them up into a couple of posts. 

Friday night I realized I brought any empty container of foundation to Milledgeville with me. So, Saturday morning Mom and I made a Wal-Mart run to find something I could use for the wedding! Fortunately, we were able to find something similar to what I usually use. While we were at Wal-Mart, Charles and Dad had a quick driving lesson. Daddy let Charles drive his Corvette from the reception to the hotel, but since Charles hadn't really driven it before they had to practice a little first!

After getting ready, we arrived at the church a little after 12. Charles wanted us to be there for some getting ready photos and some family photos before the ceremony at 2:00.

Charles's Wedding: Rehearsal Dinner

Last Friday morning we headed down to Milledgeville for Charles and MC's wedding. After stopping at Kroger for flowers, we headed to the church to get everything set up for the rehearsal dinner.

The bridal party had already set the tables up for us. They had already spent most of the day at the church getting it decorated for the reception on Saturday. We just had to get everything decorated and ready for the food to arrive.

We had a picnic theme

After we got things set up, we headed to the hotel to get ready for the actual rehearsal. I was able to snap a few photos.

The rehearsal dinner was catered by one of Charles and MC's favorite BBQ restaurants in Milledgeville. The food was really good! We got so caught up with getting all the food set out and served, then eating and spending time with family that I forgot to take pictures of the actual dinner!
