We made our first trip of the year to Green Pastures and we had a lot of fun hanging out with the peacocks. I never knew they could fly up into the trees! Ok, enough distractions about birds and onto the couple.
We started out the day at Bethany Lutheran Church for the ceremony. I really enjoyed the 2-minute trip to get there (we live right around the corner!). It’s a new church and I really love the modern look and the architecture of the church. They actually used a lot of the local limestone to build it.
Lisa and Rich arrived separately, and they were ready to get this going! They worked so hard to get everything ready, including their home, and they were ready for their reward. Lisa was so glowing, so radiant and tearfully-emotional throughout the day. It was too cute. Rich even shed a tear sometimes, too. Lisa even had the opportunity for her 93-year old grandma to attend and she gave Lisa her wedding band to wear – how sentimental. They both are Aggies, so this isn’t a mixed marriage –
Lisa’s second-cousin’s husband is the pastor of the church and he was the officiant. Her wedding was also unique in that she had a ‘man of honor’ instead of a matron of honor. Lance is her lifelong friend and he really provided some hilarious moments. I know it was really special for her to have him there.
My favorite part of the night was the toast. I never could imagined her dad to be so animated and funny! He had the place rolling with laughter for quite a while!
Green Pastures was awesome and it’s really a beautiful place for a wedding. They had some yummy food, too, including crawfish etoufee – my favorite – YUM!
Also, since our business is expanding, I brought on an assistant, Hsin-Ju. She did an awesome job of capturing some great second angles.
