Jessica and Tate's reception in Kentucky

Today was such a special day for our family becuase we were getting to share our daughter's wedding and new husband with our friends here in Kentucky, however the weather didn't want to cooperate with us.  Because a terrible storm was predicted for the evening we had to move our photos up to 1:00 in the afternoon - this made life a little crazy for us, the florist and the photographer.  She brought her children with her, which was fine, but it took time - the ground was wet so it made it hard to stand on the grass, we had all been up late the night before so we were all tired (our eyes look it) for the photos and it was near noon day so the reflection of the son was bright.

Mommy and Marissa - I love this photo





The reception was at 6:30 pm.  Betsy spent all afternoon decorating the room with flowers, linens, picture frames, etc.  It took a lot longer than she thought - but they she started later because the photo session took a long time.
  In the end, everything was out and gorgeous.




Friends and more friends started to arrive!  Unfortunately it was pouring rain at the time of the reception.
