Mr. & Mrs. chose some terribly precious decorations for their wedding day, special to them. Books! What a lovely theme to set up with. From the “petals” the flower girls tossed down being heart-shaped cutouts from Harry Potter, the hollowed out book to the cake being a stack of novels… This was a Literature-filled occasion. Being one who makes friends with the librarian before anyone else, I can relate. Here are a few of the detailed photographs of the books throughout the day. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. I hope you don’t start crying as much as I do every time I look at these two, privately sharing their personal vows with each other before the ceremony. GaaaahhH!!!! Thankfully, the bride found some His & Her Vows books, so they wrote them out and they can now be cherished forever.

The lights! The sweet bride herself made sure the tent was strung beautifully, the trees lit magically, and sparklers to send them off were just splendid!
The food! Yuuuuuuummmmm. Boy, I am starting to consider just going to weddings for the food. Summer harvest vegetables, creamy mashed potatoes & gravy, pulled pork and His and Hers BBQ Sauce. That’s not to mention the spectacular and delicious desserts! Cupcakes, lemon bars, candy, cookies. Coffee and Tea, Hot Chocolate. This all was after the wedding. Beforehand, as guests arrived, they were set to make their own tin buckets (table markers on the bottom) of Trail Mix! How fun!
The Music!!! Joel Hansen played all the music on the BEAUTIFUL hand-made-by-the-groom-guitar, and sang.
The Love! What a fun day celebrating a marriage of long-time friends.
