A Summer Wedding

June 9, 2013 35 Comments

This weekend was a very special one for me. One of my best friends got married! It was one of the most beautiful, well thought out weddings I have ever been to. I told Josh that if we are able to put as much of our personality into our wedding as Summer and Sean put into theirs I will be very happy. It was so good to be back in the Poconos and see old friends. We thankfully avoided race traffic and were able to overcome a GPS malfunction that took us to the wrong place. In the end it was a perfect day. I have a lot of photos so I’ll try and keep my comments brief.

The gorgeous ceremony site. After a day of heavy downpours the night before, I was so happy to see the sun shining for the ceremony!

Summer looked so beautiful.

The ceremony was so touching. Sean’s brother read an adorable poem called I Like You. Summer and Sean also planted a tree and said the most beautiful vows. I cried.

Appetizers.

I loved all the fruit.

I love this so much.

Too cute.

The decorations are so beautiful.

I love this personalized guest book.

The Keep or Trade bags were such a hit. I got a harmonica and Josh got an antique pencil sharpener. I also loved drinking water out of a mason jar.

Being table three had a huge perk– we got food early! I love the mish mash of plates.

Best wedding food ever. I don’t even know everything that’s on here, but I know I ate it all.

Me with the beautiful bride. <3 We could not be more opposite, and that is exactly why we click.

My other best friends were also in attendance which made me sooo happy. I’ve missed Rachel and Megan so much.

Date shots. Megan and Mike. Aka too adorable for words.

Me and my soon-to-be husband. 😀

Rachel and John. I don’t even know what to say about this picture except they are every bit as fun as they seem.

Summer had kites, croquet, bubbles, and board games out for guests to play with. When we discovered Cards Against Humanity our group decided to head over to the outdoor seating area to play.

That card game in the company of good friends is basically the best way to spend an evening. I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time.

I found a peony! And at some point Rachel braided my hair.

Dessert was fantastic. They had a marble cake with buttercream on the inside. I loved how it looked without the sides and tops frosted.

This was the biggest dessert bar I have ever seen.  There was a whole other table and a half not captured in this picture.

My dessert plate. I tried a few bites of everything, and then went and got a piece of wedding cake.

It was a perfect wedding in every possible way. It made me so happy to see these girls that have been with me through so much and that mean the world to me. Summer and Sean I wish you a lifetime of happiness together. <3

Question of the Day: How did you spend your weekend? Are you in the midst of wedding season too?

    Beautiful pictures. What a perfect place to have a wedding. So pretty, as was the bride (and you too, Erin).

    No weddings in my life, but I had a busy weekend, running, visiting family, and other fun stuff.

    I LOVE weddings! Those lanterns bring bad bad memories – I once spent 5 hours in 100+ degree weather helping a friend set up her wedding and those lanterns are HARD to put together!
    I only have 1 wedding to attend this season. 🙂

    Being a wedding decorator, I always love to look at wedding pictures! Very cute, love how they incorporated the colors into their large tent! Not sure about the bathtub, but I’m guessing it was an old vintage one, so its all fun:) Beautiful though, outdoor weddings are some of my favorites to do! Thanks for sharing!!!

    I think Summer and Sean’s wedding is so quaint and without actually knowing them, I can see it truly pulls the best of their personalities out! How great! Annnddd yes – I am completely in the middle of wedding season! We have been going strong since April and don’t get a break until July 6 and even then it’s just a small one. I’ll be up in the State College area in two weeks for a wedding, I’ll be sure to wave!
