Wedding in "Big Sky" Montana...

I didn't take a ton of pictures at the wedding.  And while the inside of the house was gorgeous (including a two story ceiling to floor waterfall in the living room) , pictures would have been impossible (if not downright rude - except the bride is so sweet she probably would have given permission, but I didn't want to ask) because of all the people milling about.

They mowed down a portion of one of the fields for parking.  The house is located on 40 gorgeous acres.   I snapped this pic after parking the car.  The house faces this direction...

(as always - click on pictures to enlarge)

 The caterers were very busy when we arrived.  You can see the stage for the band is already set up (on the left.)  During dinner we had a strolling singer named Sergio.   The tables were eventually set up in the large driveway area and each had a lovely centerpiece and three candles.  


Dinner was a served buffet of salad, lasagna, three cheese ravioli, ham, scalloped potatoes, pasties, and huge platters of crudites.   There were three different selections for cakes along with raspberry tarts, cheesecake, and assorted chocolates.  Trust me - no one left hungry...

The front of the house with a wrap around veranda...

I think the flower baskets are bigger than my whole house.  The kids have already strung the whole house with little white lights.  The wedding was at six and the dinner reception was outdoors so the thousands of lights were very festive.

The back veranda faces west...

The beautiful door on the back veranda.  The front door was equally beautiful...

Sweet little fire pit area...

On the right is the groom's two daughters and son.   All the children lit the unity candle along with the bride and groom to show the joining of the two families.  

The girls looked so cute in their little black dresses with super sparkly belts.
