Saturday we hosted the wedding of two dear friends, Laurel and Darin, at Squash Blossom Farm. The past several weeks have been a whirlwind of planting, weeding, mulching, painting, sprucing up and getting the farm to be as beautiful as possible for this celebration.
The tables were adorned with colorful fabrics and ribbon-adorned burlap rand crocheted runners, made by Melissa.
Laurel and her sister Heather decorated the arbor with curly willow, ribbons and flowers for the ceremony.
An hour before the wedding, I helped Laurel pin up her hair and tucked in the flowers and Melissa sprayed it into place.
Beaming sisters.
Guests began to arrive,
delivering amazing gourmet dishes for the potluck.
They signed the guest book.

On their way....

Vows, (“I will always be on your side, except maybe when we are playing Scrabble.”)
Married!!

Setting up the fabulous potluck dinner. Rog, Jessica and I were preoccupied making wood-fired pizzas for the potluck, so from this point I was too busy to take many photos.
Ella made the delicious wedding cake ---her first cake-making effort ever(!), with white, lemon and red velvet layers.

The cake was served just before the promised thunderstorm let loose,
but the band played and the bride and groom and the wedding guests danced under the tent, sheltered from the rain, late into the night!
