Congratulations Libby & Brian!


I attended an incredibly wonderful wedding Saturday.  Libby and Brian were married up at the family's ranch in Northern California.  Despite the reports, the rain passed by Friday night instead of Saturday, and the setting couldn't have been more picturesque.  I am so thrilled that they have found each other.  Congratulations!

I filmed most of the events - just click on the purple terms in the text, and it will link to the corresponding video clip.  I do apologize for my poor videographer skills - amateur status, sorry!  Also, some of the audio is quite low - turn up your speakers for the toasts.

The ceremony began with the aisle procession.  Rob and EB were followed by Mary, and the flower girls did a fantastic job of strewing the petals about the aisle. The bride and her father then walked down the aisle were John passed Libby's hand to Brian.  The entire ceremony was lovely. It is too long to load as one clip, so I separated the first portion from the vows.

After the ceremony, the families and friends of the bride and groom were rounded up for photos. 
and the final cheer at the end of the photo session!
I was also able to catch some fun candid moments: Rob with Mary, Rob congratulating his little sis, Mary with the flower girls, EB dancin' with the girls

Then came the toasts.  Brian's two brothers broke the ice, followed by Mary, then John, and then big brother Rob.  Brian and Libby had kind words for the guests as well.

The meal was fantastic, and the food was catered by the company where Libby and Brian had first met as coworkers.

The cake cutting was at sunset on the back deck.  The cake was made by Brian's aunt; and not only was it beautiful, it was delicious!  Libby hid behind her wrap to guard herself from a cake facial.  The crowd offered up yet another resounding cheer after the cake was cut.

The evening arrived and the dancing began.  The first dance between Libby and her new husband was heartwarming.  The father of the bride showed his fancy footwork, as did Brian and his mother.  The crowd soon joined in the fun, and the evening continued...

I finally did it! I finally looked through all your clips. I have tried before but kept crying,and getting upset since I wasn't there. She looked so beautiful! And so happy. I wish I could have been there. I am so glad you were and got some little shots. :)
