We did a lot of set up for the wedding - The smartest thing we did was start on Thursday morning - it made for a much less stressful day prior to the wedding. I knew that it would take a lot of help from friends and family, but i was humbled by all the time and effort that others put into our wedding day. A special thanks to our family, friends and bridal party for making this day happen.
The wedding set up was quite extensive, especially at the reception hall. It started out with a trailor and two car loads full of supplies and decorations.
Then came the unloading of the car - here are the bridesmaid bags being taken upstairs
here we are with several bridesmaids, groomsmen, father of the bride - the topic of discussion: lighting!!
putting curtains onto rods - yes, mom made curtains for the windows!
hanging the curtains
Nolan and Kevin
I designed the programs and we put them together
here is the finished product - hand stamped and ribbon bound
taking a much needed break - dad and the musicians
mom, begging me to let her do something i didn't like. Probably trying to convince me the pew bows were a good idea...
so as to not be confused by who sits where...
More to come, but probably not for a few days - we are off to a short honeymoon trip tomorrow followed by an open house/reception in my home town, Arthur IL on Saturday
