Backlit Bridal Party in Baseball Dugout

 

 

Juniata College, Huntingdon, PA.  A relaxed bridal party shot on campus, Saturday’s wedding.  Both bride and groom are alumni, as are some of the attendants, too.  The groom played baseball and football and the bride a serious runner (just signed on to run the Boston Marathon again, oh my)

Bright sun, green mountains and blue sky. A happy couple.  A perfect day.   Wishing them every happiness, always!  

Vicky and Justin Get Married 9-10-11

Succop Butler Conservancy was the Venue

A beautiful day, filled with love and joy. Surrounded by family and friends, Vicky and Justin exchanged vows at St. Sebastian’s.  Almost a decade of loving one another and now they are married.  The rain held off and the sun shone down upon them!  It is fun to be a guest AND the photographer.  They gave me their gracious permission to put up a wedding photo for today’s post.  She wore her mother’s gown which she had altered.  Just a lovely day of being together and celebrating their marriage. xxooxx I wish them every happiness, always! The food was delicious(mushroom risotto, grouper stuffed with spinach, stuffed eggplant, roast zucchini and yellow squash and onion medley and the cookie table another post for another day.

 

Cookie Table(s) at Pittsburgh Weddings are Tradition

Cookie-Table-WeddingTonight Mark and Erika are at a wedding and I am thinking about the cookie table. Wondering if they packed a container and brought home some cookies. (Probably not since they are doing the PX90 workout these days.)

There was a big article in the New York Times in Dec 2009. Several theories as to the origin of the tradition. The wedding reception featured in the article took place at the Le Mont where Mark and Erika had their reception, too. The cookie tables shown today on the blog are from a May 2009 wedding of my friend Donna’s son John and his lovely bride Angie. They had multiple cookie tables and the cookies were delicious. Everyone must have baked their hearts out for this wedding! Dozens and dozens of cookies. Everyone has a favorite type cookie and I have seen wedding guests scarf down a dozen or so lady locks BEFORE dinner is served.

Anyone know about the unwritten rules of cookie tables as written about in the Chowhound article??
