It turned out to be a beautiful day in more ways than one. Chelsea and Mark chose Che'ne Rouge in Hiram, Georgia for the wedding and festivities. I looked it up: Che'ne Rouge = Red Oak. Easy to understand when you see the tree!
Entrance to the facility is through a barn; a gentle ramp up into the outdoor property:
Waiting at the top of the ramp was the Father of the Bride looking remarkably relaxed:
It's really a lovely venue for an outdoor wedding:
The flowers were lovely and at the end of each row was a lantern with a candle and fresh flowers spilling out:
Clever way to deposit gift envelopes:
The Mother of the Bride:
..and the Sister of the Bride:
Some of the family among the 50+ guests:
The interior of the venue and the food spread were also great:
Each place had a card (front and back):
...that guests could exchange for a special Mark & Chelsea's signature drink.
The couple's first dance (well, "hug" actually):
Emotional with Dad:
Dancing with the Mother-in-Law:
And, finally, here's the newly married couple:
Note: There were a half-dozen "real" photographers and videographers there so I'm SURE there will be other more professional photos. Oh, and if you'd like to see the whole 13 minute ceremony, click the link below:
