Terry's Tiny Tips for Home Weddings - Wedding Bosses

I'm not saying it was the best home wedding ever. But I'm not saying it wasn't. 

This is my salute to the Wedding Bosses. Our friends and guests pitched in mightily. They didn't just attend the wedding, they made it special. And they did it in the rain.

Don't miss "Cake Bosses," the little video at the very end.


Jesse was Chief Umbrella Boss for the march down the aisle.

There was a lot of work to do.


It's photogenic but a bit run down in the paint and landscape department. The Boss of All Wedding Bosses insisted we do some serious spiffing.


Spencer is Scaffold Boss. We named our lawnmower, "The Spencer," in his honor.


David is Paint Boss, Glazing Boss, and Look After His Dad Boss.


Todd and Emily are Yard Bosses. They recruited a team to rescue our exhausted front yard. It was like a barn raising. They joked and sang amusing songs. Now we have Emily's Garden and Todd's Garden. We are in the process of naming our trees after them: The Ben, The Mary Lou, The Wil.


They are all Bush Bosses. You may know that a cubic foot of soil weighs about 100 pounds. The bosses moved tons of our beloved clay.


The Groom is Tiller Boss AND Pressure Wash Boss.


They got it looking real good. Thanks to Paint Picker Boss, Helen Crawford.


Of course every front yard wedding needs a broken water pipe in the front yard. Plumbing Boss: M. Cary and Daughters to the rescue with same day service.

I'm not saying it was the best home wedding ever. But I'm not saying it wasn't.

The Wedding in the Field at "The Farm" north of Rome, Georgia

Best to Mary Lou and Ben, married four days so far. They got hitched at "The Farm" in Big Texas Valley north of Rome, Georgia. We were honored to be there and enjoyed a picturesque 36 hour adventure in the loving atmosphere that binds friends and strangers for a little while at weddings. But I'm a sentimental man.


It was out in the former pasture, it was hot, and it was perfect.


There was a dinner the night before.


I don't know who designed the stables. Anyone? Anyone?


The bridal party dressed here.


The testimonials.


On Saturday we sampled Rome, there isn't anything in Georgia like Rome. You can drive right to the top of Myrtle Hill Cemetery and we did.


One view from Clock Tower Hill.

 
We had lunch on the Broad Street sidewalk and made some new friends. That's Dusty Mullinax with the flag, he's a SCAD and Sacred Heart Tattoo alum. This must be one of the best streets in Georgia.

The groom, the dad and the groomsmen prepared in this 40 second video.


At 0:27 I walk out to the venue itself.


It was an all ages event.


After dinner the first dances began.

Best wishes to Mary Lou and Ben and to all the loved ones.
