Christmas Wedding (Part Two)


These are just a few phone photos--we haven't seen the real ones yet.
We cleared out the living room and set up white chairs.


After the ceremony we struck all the chairs and set up tables for forty-five. We were blessed with lots of help to get this done, and had table settings and flowers waiting in another room.


We sent the bride and groom outside for a few pictures before we sat down to eat the *most* luscious shrimp and grits, fruit, biscuits, ham, greens, and cake.


Bella and Arthur!!

  1. A small wedding at home!!! I love this. I look forward to seeing more photos. Weddings at home are so rare, at least in my neck of the woods, and you're so fortunate to have a home that could accommodate one *in the winter.* My grandmother was married in the tiny church nearby, with a reception at home (in the farmhouse on our property), 70 years ago...& I've always thought that was so sweet and meaningful.

    Bella, you are lovely.
