This weekend was so much fun! Honestly, we had an amazing time spending time with the family that came into town for Mackenna and Cody's big celebration. We got to watch as they all laughed and roamed the property, exploring all the areas that are so special.

The barn was cleaned, the tables were set beautifully, flowers had arrived fresh and ready! We watched as the Mother of the Bride did her final walkthrough, and her pleased smile spoke wonders.

Mackenna and Cody have been best friends for years, throughout school and Cody pursuing his military career they have remained side by side. It was a refreshing type of love that walked through our doors the day of their first visit, and it was that same love we saw this weekend!

I got to stand beside Mackenna in the last few minutes before she walked down the aisle to her handsome (soon to be) hubby. Her hands were shaking just enough to notice, she was fidgeting like I do after one too many cups of coffee and she was smiling ear to ear.

"Were you this nervous on your wedding day?" She laughed. I had spoken those exact same eight words to my sister on my big day.

"Yes." I replied, "But I promise, as soon as you see him, there's nothing in this whole world that will feel more right."

At the moment of the first kiss, the cheers and whistles were so loud and exuberant that they could be heard all through the woods and fields. Every detail after that was perfect. From the local wine served at the bar downstairs, to the delicious food made on site, to the sparkler send off where they were showered with love as they left to start their biggest adventure yet: MARRIAGE.
