8.15.2009 Wedding ~ A Little Bit Country

Charlie and Margaret got married on 8.15.2009 in Bly, Oregon. For those of you that don't know where Bly is...it's about 5 hours south/southeast of Salem. Although its a long drive, its a beautiful one! They got married at Margaret's family ranch which offered spectacular views and a wedding site they could always call their own.

Everyone could tell that they put a lot of effort into their wedding and making it special. They had personal touches everywhere! They had about 5 or 6 different flavors of homemade jams with personalized stickers and they even had matching camo covers that matched the groomsmen's vests and bridesmaids' sashes (made by the bride's mother). Charlie had even made each centerpiece by hand...cutting the wood, leveling the bottom, and cutting out a section in the top to place a candle inside. The flowers were stunning and they had the best country wedding cake I've ever seen! There are just too many personal details to mention!

One of the parts that I love most about my job is being able to notice the little things that make the day special for the bride and groom. Not all of the guests could see it, but Charlie had made a special "CM" (for "Charlie & Margaret") out of iron and had that attached to the ring bearer's pillow. He did it only to put a smile on his bride's face. It was precious. You could tell that when Margaret saw it that is just melted her heart. Thank you Charlie and Margaret for having me be a part of your special day!
