Ashley & Nate's First Dance With Bubbles
Today we traveled to our favorite little spot in Mifflinburg again. Laurel Lodge Events! This time for the Wedding Ceremony and Reception of Ashley & Nate.
We first spoke with Ashley & Nate in June of 2017, when we talked about what they were looking for from their special day, and what we could do, if anything, to enhance that. After our meeting we were asked to send the contract to them, and they signed as soon as they got it.
There were not many questions from either Ashley or Nate leading up to the planning meeting. Once at the planning meeting we found out that Ashley had a Pintrest page that had starting to put together for her wedding date, even before she met Nate. Well now the pressure was on!
It's 2PM now and all the guests are seated. Nate and the Groomsmen walk down front to the clearing in the woods and wait, as the Bridal party makes their way down the aisle. Then everyone rises as the music switches to Ruelle's "I Get To Love You". Once they are presented as the new Mr & Mrs Goff they walk back up the aisle to Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros "Home".
Today's photographer is Stephanie with SWP Photography our of Buffalo, NY. Stephanie and Ashley went to college together and Ashley wanted no one else to shoot her wedding. Stephanie takes the Bride, Groom, Bridal Party, and families for pictures, while the guests are encouraged to return to the lodge for drinks and snacks.
After the Grand Enrance we have some toasts from the Maid Of Honor & Best Man and then begin serving dinner catered by Real Taste Food Truck. After dinner and the cake cutting the Bride & Groom take to the dance floor for their first dance as husband and wife. The bubbles come and Ashley & Nate dance to "Then" by Brad Paisley. Followed by the father/daughter and mother/son dances. We then open the dance floor.
After some dancing and partying we bring Ashley & Nate to the center of the dance floor for the Mr & Mrs Game. where we find out that Nate is a better driver, but more likely to get lost. While Ashley has the better sense of style. We also played the Guess Who game where Nate was able to identify Ashley by the feel or her hand a total of 0 times!
When 9PM rolls around it is time to wrap up the night with "Closing Time" from Semisonic.
Congratulations again to Mr & Mrs Goff!
