More Wedding Pics

No card creations on the blog today, but do have a few more wedding photos to share! The photographer took these in downtown Lynchburg...

Always love seeing some of the pictures in this sepia tone!

It's a rainy Friday, but I have to venture out to buy a new wireless router.  Grrrr...hate that the WiFi stopped working and not only do I have to buy a new router, but our cable company is requiring a $40 fee up front and then I have to pay $5.95 per month for technical support!!  What the _ _ _ _?  Sorry, but I'm really thinking technical support should be part of their customer service!  I pay quite a hefty monthly sum already for cable and internet service.  Enough ranting and off to find my umbrella!  Have a happy Friday!

Wedding Reception Photos

As I promised, here are a few photos from Mark and Ashlie's reception. It was held at the old shoe factory turned Craddock Terry Hotel in downtown Lynchburg, VA.  Each hotel room has a different shoe plaque on the doors, so it's easy to remember that you're staying in the saddle shoe room as opposed to remembering a number - lol!  My favorite was this unique chair in the lobby along with the memorabilia of shoes through the ages!

The bridal party posing outside the hotel.

Newlyweds entering the reception room.  Notice the balloons...you'll see their purpose later.

Yummy buffet...salad, rolls, salmon, chicken, two different veggies, rice, potatoes.

Each round table in the room had these decorative centerpieces.

A beautiful, moving song sung by the bride's father and brother (it was a Kleenex moment for me).

Ashlie and Mark shared some of their journey of love.

 

The guests enjoyed a Power Point presentation of the newlyweds' growing up years.

So glad they didn't do the cake smearing routine!

Guests went outdoors into the courtyard and grabbed a balloon on their way.  We formed a receiving line and handed over our balloons as Mark and Ashlie greeted everyone.  They ascended the stairs...

...and amidst cheering and clapping, they released the balloons and kissed.

A happy ending to a beautiful reception and a new beginning of a great life together!

Wedding Post

OK...so this is supposed to be a blog about papercrafting, but I'm going out on a limb here and sharing some of my fave wedding pics of our middle son's wedding on June 30th!  They had a small beautiful wedding in an old cemetery chapel in downtown Lynchburg.

The Cullen family: Laura, Michael and Jessica (DIL); Ashlie (DIL) and Mark; my dad on far right.

The cemetery grounds were beautifully landscaped!

The altar area.  Loved the character and charm of this chapel.  So much history here.

Ashlie walking into the chapel with her father who is also a pastor who married them.

Here comes the bride!

Brothers in front of the '34 Chevy my DH restored.  It was the car the bride and groom drove to the reception about 5 miles away.

Stay tuned...I'll try to get some reception photos posted another day.
