One year ago today I was swept up in a very long ‘to-do’ list & preparing to marry the love of my life.
I thought I would share some pictures of that day & our sweet little country wedding in a barn next to our house. (It was a complete DIY wedding, with the help of our family.) (Click the thumbnails to see a larger version of each picture.)

The scenery:
My ‘His’ & ‘Hers’ Ring Bearers.
We really didn’t want a stuffy wedding. We wanted our day full of family, friends, laughter, great food, meaningful music & the feeling of a truly beautiful, down home shindig.
My bridal party walked in to “In my Time of Need” by Ryan Adams, which will forever be one of my favorite songs. My Dad & I walked in to “Come Away with Me” by Nora Jones. Our recessional was “I’m Gonna Make You Love Me” by The Jayhawks. (Fun!)
It was a such a memorable day on the banks of Grassy Creek.

Krissy,
There was one pic that only a Kentucky girl would recognize–the feeder full of Ale-8’s! For those of you who don’t know, Ale-8 is a soft drink made in Winchester Kentucky & sold only in parts of Kentucky!! It’s my drink of choice & we had to offer that at the wedding along with Kentucky made cheeses, Amish butter & other local & old fashioned favorites–like shuck beans.
One special thing we did was hang up pictures of several of our guests & family members taken on their wedding days!!! That was a real hit. And it was fun to see how everyone had changed over the years.
I’m celebrating down home simple living with ya!!!
Thanks for the sweet words!
-Becky.
