I tried, but couldn't get Greg to smile in yesterday's photos! It's not that he wasn't happy. He said not smiling in photos is a male family trait. He and Sarah are kindred spirits. They're both into nature: plants and animals. It was the first wedding ever where Tux (the cat) walked up to greet the newlyweds. Animals are such good judges of character.

April didn't bring showers to Hannah and Zach's wee wedding, but it did bring cool temps. Hannah's dad escorted her down the aisle and then officiated the ceremony. Zach chose a special song for the recessional and was able to keep it a secret from Hannah until it began to play. Both added personal touches to the day.

Guests were all smiles at Kayla and Corey's casual wee wedding which included important 2- and 4-legged family members! In lieu of a bouquet, the bride carried a unique clutch with "Mrs." on the front. Instead of a guest book or photo mat, guests signed a wooden heart-shaped plaque.

Debra was anxious the entire week prior to her marriage to Doug. But it wasn't marriage jitters. It was weather jitters. The forecast called for lots of rain during her wee garden wedding. Fortunately, the meteorologists were wrong. That gave Debra two reasons to smile on her wedding day.

Christina and Matthew's "wee" wedding was a friends-and-family affair. From decorating the sign-in table to setting up the spread of foods that Christina's mom had prepared, everyone pitched in to help. Her mom even made the cake and Christina's bouquet, that was not one bouquet, but three! At the beginning of the ceremony, the 3 bouquets were separated, and 2 were given as a surprise to the newlyweds' daughters. So sweet!

Susan and Greg were so glad for yesterday's beautiful weather that they didn't mind the leaves. That was a good thing. Fortunately, the leaves look rather pretty in photos. Not so much in reality, but that's what November looks like around here. Much happiness, you two!

The theme for yesterday's wee weddings was LEAVES! Everywhere!

Fall at Glen Garden!!! (Dick blew this deck off yesterday!!!

And, yes! Some folks like to dance! (9-11-21)

Some days Mother Nature just doesn't want to cooperate. No need to worry. We make the best of it with the firepit, torches, and moving tables and chairs under cover. We've actually had couples tell us that they were glad it rained because the whole event became more intimate.

Another “leaf” day! There will be many more. And then when we think we’re done, the wind will blow, & the leaves that linger on the oaks will fall. And we’ll be at it again. I have to remind myself that the leaves sure are nice when they shelter us from the summer sun! (I know our newlyweds would agree!)

Sarah & Hartmuth's wedding reception.

Yummy food catered by The Clubhouse!

Love having The Clubhouse out here! Always friendly and professional! Hi, Maryanne!

Even with yesterday's hot, hot temps (102-degree heat index), DJ Bill Frostick ([email protected]) had almost everyone dancing for almost 2 hours at Jessica and Jason's wedding.

One bride-to-be asked what Glen Garden looked like at a certain time of year. I couldn't answer her question because the scenery out here changes from week to week. As a neighbor said, Mother Nature Rules. If you're visiting Glen Garden in July, it's possible it will look something like this.

Was it really only three weeks ago that the high temps for the day were only in the 50s? And it was raining? In contrast, yesterday's highs were in the 90s. And it was sunny. Welcome to Virginia! The shade of the covered deck and the many trees on the property provided relief from the hot sun. Thankfully, a light breeze blew most of the day. Fans were set up on the covered deck, and newlyweds Justin and Amanda thoughtfully provided cold washcloths (which we put on ice in a silver punch bowl) for their guests. In the video below, guests are enjoying drinks and appetizers during cocktail hour.

Guests are in for a treat when Clubhouse Aquia caters. One of Sunday's guests jokes with Dan (who is carving the rare tenderloin): "Do you have a portion that says I don't have to fit in this outfit for another six months?"

So what if it's cold and rainy outside! That just means "light the candles AND the fireplace" inside the little cottage.
