The Day That Was

torisweddingday2

It was such a wonderful evening. God answered our prayers and the rain moved out in the early afternoon leaving a partly cloudy, autumnal day where pictures could be taken in the beautiful natural outdoor light. Tori was lovely, Grant handsome, and the rest of us cleaned up pretty good too. The ceremony was intimate and the reception a time of visiting with friends and relatives that went by all too quickly.

And now our baby is truly all grown up and is a married woman. While it sometimes seems unreal, we could not be more happy for Grant and Tori. We love them both dearly.

Thank you to everyone who made the weekend so fantastic. To the McCarty family for an amazing rehearsal dinner. To the Dibben family for helping set up, direct guests, handle the gifts and especially to James for taking the Director role for the ceremony itself and the table dismissal for the meal. To Pastor Larry for a joyful, intimate wedding ceremony. To the Anderson family for helping to set up table decor and especially to Dawn for lovely, creative flower arrangements. To all the ushers and groomsman and bridesmaids…you all looked lovely/debonair (pick the appropriate adjective) and you made Grant and Tori’s special weekend even more special.

Thank you to the caterers, Two Sisters, who made a delicious meal. To the event venue, Studio 2131, for making everything run smoothy, for helping us decorate on Friday night, and for help cleaning up.

Thank you to everyone who helped pick up and load up and who helped out in any way whatsoever. I’m just the father-of-the-bride and am no doubt in the dark about much of the efforts that went into making this such a wonderful wedding. So thank you.

What follows is a collage of just a handful of the pictures I took. The professional ones will hopefully soon follow.
