As promised, here’s the post on Adena and Ben’s wedding day. This post = hardest blog post ever because I am in love with every single photo from this day. I would love to show you everything, but that would be ridiculous. Perhaps later this year when wedding season has died down I’ll do a third post with my favorite photos of guests from the wedding. Many of them were in theme outfits so you definitely want to see them (mullets, chain maille, and pirates – oh my!).
So, as you might have guessed, there was rain on Saturday. Lots of rain, in fact. So much rain that the fair (and demolition derby) were canceled. Plan B was to get married in the (pink and white striped!) tent where the reception was scheduled to be held. Except that didn’t work out because, well, the tent flooded. So… Plan C went into full effect at around 4:30 for the wedding which was scheduled to start at 6:45. Christy and the folks from The Marshfield Fair pulled the wedding together in a barn that is used to house awesome award-winning vegetables. Seriously, people, they devised and set up the whole wedding in less than two hours.
The new plan: bring the derby cars INTO the barn.
Here’s the wedding party waiting outside the barn to walk in!
Adena and Ben waiting to walk in. Ben walked in to “Welcome to the Jungle” and Adena to “Here Comes The Bride” (and no, I don’t know the real name of this song – bridal march?).
Getting married on top of a demolition derby car in a barn with exhibits about farming.
Everyone watching the ceremony – these chairs all had to be moved from the tent in the pouring rain.
The plan was for all of the guests to eat fair food (awesome!). When the fair closed down, one vendor was generous enough to stay open so that the guests could eat.
Adena’s excitement about her cake was unrivaled by any other bride I’ve seen!
The first dance.
Dancing!
I am very jealous of this rainbow dress.
My guess is that this next shot was taken during “Living On a Prayer.”
I call this next shot “Of Weddings and Vegetables.” Hah!
Thank you, Adena and Ben, for letting me a part of your spectacular day!!! This was an experience like no other, and I am so happy I was there to document it for you.
