My two favorites I think were the photo wedding timeline hung from a clotheline between two trees - showing family wedding photographs going back about a hundred years -- and the personal notes written by the bride and groom on the individual menus - so much more than a placecard! The ceramic birds topping the wedding cake were a wedding gift I received over thirty years ago from close friends of my grandparents and have always been a treasure because they took the time to care. The dress was old fashioned enough that the buttons were really functional - no hidden zipper. It took us a while to get Charlotte properly in that dress. We added custom embroidered wedding gown labels with the names and dates of both weddings for the gown. Charlotte's "maid of honor" was her horse "Fancy" and the minister quipped that it was the first wedding where the maid of honor wore no clothes. The mother of the groom worked tirelessly to prepare the backyard and worked closely with Charlotte to fine tune the menu and prepare the feast. Charlotte's sister tended to Fancy after her wedding duties were done. Her brother managed the late night bon fire. It was a lovely and very personal wedding.
