We arrived Friday evening where the group was cozied around a camp fire and the lights of the tent were still aglow. We got Teagan to bed (easy transfer from car to crib) and joined the group that was still awake. The big day was just around the corner!
It was a chilly Saturday but the sun was shining and it was pleasant if you were dressed appropriately. Jen was as cool as a cucumber, hair done, make-up on and just hanging out with friends and family until it was time to get ready. We had fall soups thanks to Aunt Tracy and Kim. As the wedding time neared, the family began to get ready. We laughed because the entire Tiltges family was ready 30 minutes ahead of schedule!
The ceremony was short and sweet but perfectly captured the moment and the reason we were all there. The reception tent was decked out with vintage and rustic decor and sentimental touches Jen and James selected. I happened to enjoy the dessert table with treats from different members of the family! I also like anything with logs and white lights so the centerpieces were right up my alley as well. The food and drink were great but the best part was seeing how happy and in the moment Jen and James were. They do like their privacy but it was so special to share the day with them. Dan and Candy's faces were also full of smiles all night long as they watched their oldest girl get married. We joked that the first 3 are all married which means 3 that are still unspoken for!
We also learned that Teagan loves a good party. Her and Ryker were running around the tent, giving a go at dancing and smiling at all of the attendees. It was so fun to have them there to celebrate with!
The newlyweds headed to the fire after the dance party and then were shuttled out to their private island for some peace and quiet. What a memorable day and a beautiful place to celebrate!
Congratulations and we love you!!
XO,
Beth and Rick
