Liz and TJ wed on a smokey Saturday

It was a smoky morning due to the neighboring county fire in the mountains of Polluck Pines. Being as far away as it was, the smoke was only a small hindrance to the morning, and tapered off by the early afternoon. Chairs were unfolded and put into rows, bunches of flowers cut and wrapped, seating charts written up until the last minutes upon guests arriving the grounds. A beautiful white dress hung over our heads as we bridesmaids bustled around, applying layers of makeup to our bare faces and sipping beers to keep our sanity. On went our marine blue maxi dresses. some of us wearing heels and some not, coral beaded necklaces adorned our chests. we filled every last second with chatty conversation, glossing lips, and batting eyelashes. We dolled up mother of the bride, in and out of two adjoined rooms we went, back and forth, laughing, tears showing up now and then, emotions running high. we kept things messy and last minute. Soon the minutes had vanished and it all started to come together. we stumbled out of the brides quarters and out into the garage. Moments later, she graced us with her beautiful presence, cameras flashing and smiles flying high, these are moments I want to remember. My best friend was about to walk down the aisle with me standing by her side. A truly exciting and whimsical day it was to be had. So delighted and honored to have been a part of the magic that glued this wonderful day together, and ended with two of my favorite people married, as they should be, forever and ever. Here's to you Lizzy and TJ Dowd! May your love stay true and happy till always, I am so excited to watch your family grow. Thank you for sharing your special day with me and my family, we had a blast.
