I am so excited to show off my precious baby brother’s wedding.  He wed the most loving woman,  Stephanie,  along with her beautiful children,  Taylor and Gavin.   Taylor has the most gorgeous red hair.  I’d like to send a special thank you to Donna and David Townsend of Townsend Catering and Christina Springfield of  Events by Nouveau Flowers.  And let me say,  a wedding planner is a must!  I have a whole new appreciation for them after helping plan and coordinate this wedding.  And they only had 50 guests!

This is Avery,  Paul’s little niece.

Gavin walked his mother down the aisle.  He is so tall and handsome,  not to mention a rockin bass player and has a GPA higher than I ever dreamed of having!

Lee wore a suit from Banana Republic which went very well with the garden theme.

Stephanie found a hand drawn wedding tree that she used as her guest registry.

A few months before the wedding,  I purchased this antique bird cage to have two finch birds displayed on the gift table.  When the wedding day arrived,  I was so glad since they had been in my home for the months leading up to the wedding.  Birds are very messy.  At the end of the wedding day,  both birds had managed to squeeze through the bars and escaped.  I am pretty sure the starved themselves leading up to the wedding day,  knowing they would be outside at the most beautiful garden.  I am convinced they planned their escape!

Their cake was made by Confections on the Coast.  The bird topper is custom made by Red Light Studios, found on Etsy.
