Lindsey's wedding

 Earlier today we attended our friend Lindsey's wedding. I t was in Titusville at the "Birdsong Barn"
The directions were something like" Go up 95, exit onto RT 50. Take the first left and follow that road down till you see the sign for BINGO. That's where you turn and go down the street to the barn. Kind of similar to the area around the entrance to The Mackey House.....complete with it's own RV campground....although the ones today were set a bit back from the road.
The drive in was not as long as the entrance to The Mackey House. We followed the signs to the parking area.
Entrance

                                  Jumping forward...here's Lindsey and Marc saying their vows.

Cake! Simple but nice looking...and tasty too.

 Looking back towards the barn from where we were seated for the wedding. Apparently one bride bought the curtains for her wedding...and left them for others to use. They will stay up until someone asks to have them removed. I think they made a big difference to the look of the place.



The tables sat 6-8 people. Each one had a "theme" of sorts...we were seated at' Marriage"
Cool old case to collect the cards for the couple.

Wall where table assignments were given. Each table had a "theme"; as I mentioned...like Memories, Vows, Marriage,Wishes...to name a few It looked like this area could double as a photo booth area....There was the back "wall", a bay of hay...perfect size for sitting on and this bike.


 Some decorations were already in place...other touches were added by Lindsey.
It was a nice afternoon/evening...we did not get any rain from scattered showers moving through the general area.Temperatures were close to the record high...and when the clouds parted it was down right hot!
We were waiting and waiting...thinking..."Something must be up???? but what? Turns out the groom's ring was missing. They tore the room apart for several minutes and then decided to wait till later to look again.
Due to the hold-up...the ceremony was delayed a few minutes....but when they started ...everything went well. I ran into one girl who was a  former classmate of Brenna's...and in my Brownie troop....her mom spotted me first...introduced herself...and then when she showed me her daughter...I recognized her. I had seen her from the start and thought she looked very familiar...but I couldn't place her.
The barn venue made for some interesting clothing choices for the guests... and some were super casual. I always enjoy seeing what people think is appropriate....
They had a bar for beer and soft drinks...and the two signature drinks.
Lindsey's...a champagne and kir cocktail. Marc's....a golden oak Rum and Ginger Ale.
We sat with Glenn and Kathy...Kathy and I were getting ideas for the weddings coming up...ours in May...theirs in December. The decorations were simple and sweet. Lindsey did most of the extra touches herself. The rental was all day...so they got there early this morning and set up all the decorations...the ones in addition to the permanent ones that is.
More tomorrow.................................................................................................................
