Virginia Wedding

Attended the wedding of Rachel and Kurt Sunday. We arrived around ten Sunday morning to help set up. We needed 28 chairs, so I thought three rows of ten, divided by a center row, would work. For extra spacing I added a fourth row of twelve for 40 total. About twenty were actually needed. Below was the barn directly behind the chairs. The bridesmaids got ready upstairs. 

Behind the bridesmaids' barn was the reception barn, which Ceil and Dawn and Karla and a few of Rachel's friends set up. Usually the sides and ends were open, but despite a 70 degree afternoon a strong wind kept the sides closed.

Cows, horses, bulls, goats, dogs, and a cat patrolled the venue, run by a family of four: hostress Robin, her sometime surfer husband, and their two teenage boys.

The groomsmen ate pizza and dressed across the way in the clubhouse adjacent to the tennis court, then crossed a bridge to take pictures.

Above and below: signs of the times.

Myron and Rachel make their entrance.

Since the couple got married on their original wedding date (5/10/20) Rachel and Kurt rewrote their vows to continue their commitment in marriage. 

BBQ pork, baked beans, mac & cheese, slaw, cheese and crackers, cupcakes, and a cat.

There's also a beautiful house on the property.
