To Have And To Hold - Wedding Preparations.

My granddaughter married the love of her life on Nov. 10th. Beautiful outdoor wedding and reception.... but.... it was in the mid 40s temperature-wise. It was soooo cold! I am linking with Thankful ThursdayLittle Things and Share Your Cup. Here's a few casual shots of the wedding.

The wedding took place in the groom's yard on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
                                It was a beautiful setting.

It was a family affair.... Everyone pitched in to help. The arch was made by the bride's father and decorated by her mother.

Tablecloths for the reception had wrinkles.. so Uncle Michael ironed while Grandmother (me) assisted.

Set up of the reception tent begins.. 
A basket of blankets were provided for guests should they get cold.

The reception tables were centered with wrought iron pumpkins filled with tea lights and surrounded by fall leaves and pumpkins... and gold bags of Plantation Peanuts for each guest. 

A quiet moment for bride and her mother, a walk down to the dock, before time for the wedding.

 I will continue with the wedding tale in my Friday Five post.

  2. I am shocked they did so much (and so wonderfully!) to prepare for this wedding in the time they had. Wonderful job, right down to the sign for the blankets! :-)
