Rainy Wednesday Wedding

The day started with no rain, but the clouds loomed on the hills above BeckenRidge and eventually let loose the moisture the weather guys had promised to come.

Regardless of the weather the plan is still to have the ceremony on the lawn and pray for a break from the rain before the ceremony.



Either way guest will be entering through the North Patio and place the gifts under the covered patio and sign the guest book. BeckenRidge already had the tables, linens and bistro tables on the patio and inside ready to go. Sister of the groom did all the floral arrangements, she did a great job with time she had then getting herself ready for pictures.






Photography was done by Stephanie Paterson new to BeckenRidge, and worked in between showers with the bride, groom and attendants. Even with the showers some amazing shots were taken in the vineyard and inside the building.





The most amazing part was as the ceremony time approached, several family member ran down to wipe chairs from the days rain and start seating the guests so they could get started. Umbrellas were readily available to all, and not a single one was left behind. The music started everyone was lined up and all of a sudden the clouds broke and the sun shined down on the guests,




and of course, the bride and her dad as they walked to the stone platform. It was beautiful and couldn't of been more perfect. When the ceremony ended the bride and groom came back into the main building and the reception began.







The buffet was ready Dana and her crew did a great job on the food and keeping things replenished. The food was yummy and the staff was just simply fun to be around.




While guests were eating a slide show of the bride and groom was being presented. The screen already in place in the header of the bookcase was dropped down and the podium used to place the laptop and projector on.



The highlight of this wedding had to be the bouquet toss. The girls assembled themselves for the bride to toss her bouquet towards the bookcase. The bride standing in the vaulted ceiling area was poised and with all her might tossed her bouquet, which instead of falling into the hands of an awaiting maiden fell into the light beam and remained planted there. With the laughter rolling through the room, many of us ran to grab a ladder. However, the groomsmen where already on it. They lifted one guy up to retrieve the irreplaceable bouquet, so that it may bring luck to the one who catches it, and that they maybe wed next. The re-toss was a success and this story will go down as a first in BeckenRidge history. :)
