THE RECEPTION
The couple's childhood & adolescent photos
lined the wooded trail
on the way to the Reception Area.



ARRIVAL AT THE RECEPTION AREA

I provided six dozen Kolaches for the dessert table,
after having told Lauren her grandmother would
never forgive us if we didn't have
kolaches at a family wedding.

QUEUEING UP TO THE BAR


THE COCKTAIL TABLES


MY BROTHER AND I
So happy for my brother Kelly,
the father of the bride.
I cried as I watched him
walk my niece down the aisle -
thinking how much I wished
Mom could have been with us.


MY LOVELY COUSINS

ANTIQUE FURNITURE
Sofas and setees provided seating
under tree canopies
lined with fairy lights,
and a set of sidetables & hutches
told of the couple's
proud family histories.
Titled: "Love Stories Before Us"
Great seeing my Mom and Dad,
Lauren's grandparents,
front and center --
and behind them,
our paternal ancestors.

TERRY's ADVERTISEMENT:
I love coffee! 

I drink it morning through late afternoon.

Best Bean Ever!

While on vacation in Oregon I fell in love with the many varieties I discovered at Portland Coffee Roasters

I recommend both Morning (I love the milk chocolate and cherry finish.)

and Steel (Most popular blend. One taste and you’ll see why: it’s rich, smooth, and full of sweet toffee flavor. It tastes great as both a coffee or an espresso. An instant classic when introduced over 20 years ago.)

Since their founding in 1996, Portland Coffee Roasters has sourced their coffee directly from farmers while building sustainable relationships with them and the communities they support.
