9.22.2012 ~ Somethin' 'Bout A Truck

*Wedding by Tristin*

This last September Jami and Bryan were married at VR5 Ranch in the foothills just west of Junction City.  I have known Jami since I was a little girl when my mom would coach her softball team.  My husband has known Bryan for several years, so when I heard that they were getting married, I couldn't wait to help.  There were many unexpected changes along the way, but in the end, it made for a perfect country wedding.

The ladies got ready at VR5 Ranch, with Jami having her hair done by Jennifer Brazil, and make-up done by Jessica Persinger.  She looked STUNNING!  Bryan and Jami choose to go the traditional route and not see each other before the ceremony. That morning Jami was cleaning her ring when the diamond fell out! Arrangements were made for Bryan to pick up the ring and he was able, with the help of the jewelry store, to get it fixed in time for the ceremony.  Melissa Dominique of TwentyTwo7Photography did the photography, and was actually one of Jami's high school friends.  It was so great working with her - she did an excellent job of capturing all the special moments and little details.





All of the tables and chairs came from Action Rent-All and VR5 Ranch provided everything else.  Bryan and Jami spent many late nights making all the decorations and they turned out ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!  Bridgette at The Flower Market did an AMAZING job on the flowers, which matched their colorful theme perfectly. The venue looked the part for the relaxed country feeling they were looking for.  The ceremony was held outside, overlooking the fields and trees of the valley.  The weather cooperated, and Bryan and Jami were able to say I do with Jami’s brother Scott, an ordained minister, being the one to marry them.  After the ceremony, the Bride and Groom were off for pictures and all of the guests visited and enjoyed the smell of the barbeque cooking.





Matt and Brian of Knio Chefs provided pulled pork and barbequed chicken, while Joelle and Alisa of Hello Cupcake making all of the side dishes to go with it. Dinner was YUMMY! They both did an excellent job.

The talented team at Haute Cakes and Confections made the cake. One of my favorite parts of the whole day was the special "groom's cake" that Jami had made for Bryan, which was a 3D truck! Anyone who knows Bryan also knows the trucks he has built over the years. There was one truck in particular, a green Peterbuilt, that holds a lot of meaning to Bryan.  Jami remembered from a conversation that they once had it was his favorite truck. It was even more special because Bryan had NO idea about this... After they cut the cake, we announced that Jami had a surprise for Bryan.   Kenny Morris, the DJ for the evening, played "Somethin' 'Bout A Truck" by Kip Moore as the cake came out - it was almost too much for Bryan to handle.  He was so excited that he went and purchased a freezer just so they can save the cake for their first anniversary!

At the end of the day everything turned out beautifully.  I loved working with Jami and Bryan and both of their families throughout their wedding. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your day.  I wish you both a lifetime of love, laughter, and happiness!
