With only minor getting lost incident, we made it to Reading to see the lovely Tara marry her soulmate. I honestly have seen very few couples who fit together so well. The rec hall looked fantastic. Fall leaves and autumn colours abound, and twinkly lights everywhere, and don't forget candles! I said the same thing when I did the wedding last year in West Chester. I would LOVE to have a fall wedding. As of yesterday Chris doesn't agree, so it may not happen, but for years I've loved the idea of a fall wedding. *sigh* Oh well...I guess I have to actually have the fiancee before that's a real issue. Hah. Tara looked absolutely stunning in her dress, and I have to say, the bride's maids weren't too bad ourselves! Heh, Caleb looked really cute in his little white tux, and Emilia made a wonderful little flower girl...even gnawing on the basket.

The ceremony itself was really nice. They found a way to blend a traditional wedding service with a handfasting that worked really well. I made it through my reading, scratchy voice and all, heh...and I loved the incoorperation of a song from Phantom. Miss Jenn (the officiant) did a marvelous job! yay, Miss Jenn! I almost face planted on the way back from the alter. Luckily the groomsman I was paired with caught me. Stupid, tiny heeled shoes...they did a great job aerating the lawn though, hah.

Afterwards we took a lot of really neat pictures, which will be posted as soon as I'm done loading and resizing them! My new camera performed beautifully!

There were only 2 downsides to the day...and neither of them had to do with the wedding itself. 1. Chris and I were both beyond sick and striving to keep it together. I almost threw up in poor Issac's car so many times. 2. I had to leave early for a stupid staff meeting. Gah! I really didn't want to leave. :( I missed a bunch, but I was really blessed to be able to be there, and to be the maid of honour, to watch 2 of my best friends in the world get married.

Stay tuned for pictures!

Oh, it must have been lovely...I've never actually thought about a fall wedding and it sounds really nice! Except for the weather. =/
Aw, too bad you had to leave early! The few times I did, I missed out on all the pics. You wouldnt have know I was there...XP

aww
the wedding sounded MARVELOUS! The last time I was at a wedding was almost 3 years ago...I want to go to another one!!!

Autumn weddings are so pretty, especially if they're outside...all the changing leaves, changing lives, CHANGE! It's so pretty...I want to get married in a Japanese garden, but with my luck...I'll be getting married in front of a justice of the peace at the courthouse or something...lol

ME TOO!!
I honestly want a fall wedding. Of all the things I am completely willing to compromise on (should I ever even find a fiance first...lol) it's not that. I am willing to bend just about everything else - but it's going down in the fall.

It sounds like you had a lovely time! Can't wait for pictures!

Weddings..... it sucks that you were sick. :(

I haven't been to one in quite a while, but I distinctly remember not liking weddings for some reason...
