Nick and Cathy – Wedding March 7, 2009
March 16, 2009
The wedding was beautiful!
Initially we had planned on a wedding in the park. The weather was supposed to be perfect in Texas – mid 70′s. Then the forecast was for windy conditions with a 40% chance of rain. A last minute scramble found us reserving The Corner Wedding Chapel It was beautifully decorated. The ceremony took place outside beneath and arbor and in front of a waterfall. Very cool. Now if we could have just notified the guy using his weed eater to not eat his weeds during the ceremony, it would have been perfect!
The pastor was not our pastor. He was found through a Starbucks Drive-thru. I was at the drive-thru window when the Barista, who I knew, asked how the wedding plans were coming along. I casually mentioned that our pastor was already booked and could not perform the ceremony, so we were going to skip a ceremony. (They were married by a Justice of the Peace on Feb 21, 2009) However, we really did want a ceremony to make it seem more official to the out of town guests. Well….it just so happened another Barista was listening to the conversation and jumped in with our solution. “My dad is a pastor!” She said. “He performed my ceremony. He loves doing weddings!” She gave me his phone number, and the Starbucks Pastor performed the ceremony.
I don’t think we could have asked for a more perfect pastor for them. He was humorous and very real!
He gave a charge to the groom to take the bride shopping – and dropping her off at the mall didn’t count! We all laughed more than once. Their vows were incredible too!
It was a small reception with mostly family and just a handful of friends present. Family came from California, Iowa, and Minneapolis. One of the neat things we did was that we put a disposable camera at each table with a Camera Scavenger Hunt. This included 44 items to take a picture of. Everyone seemed to enjoy taking pictures of various things.
The newlyweds are now off to their new lives at Keesler AFB near Biloxi, MS.
Enjoy the photos!
